In addition, CJE SeniorLife has hired private security from Federation, as well as we have consulted with their Security Department who have arranged for police presence from the Skokie Police Department.

Parking. There is plenty of free parking at the Theater parking lots, including a parking structure. Follow the signs to the main entrance on the north side of the theater. Attire. The attire for the evening is business attire.

Registration and Seating. This year we have partnered with GiveSmart, a digital event management platform. If your cell phone number was submitted when you registered for the event, you will receive a text on Tuesday, October 17 with instructions to check in ahead of the event. Please read the information and check-in prior to arriving at the event. By doing so, you will avoid waiting for in-person check-in.

Food. The reception will be from 5:30 to 7:00 pm with cocktails (open bar) and delicious food stations with small plates from local Kosher restaurants, including Sandwich Club, Hamachi, Taco Gingi, and Taboun Grill.

Program. The formal program will start at 7:20 pm, and include remarks from CJE’s President, Dan Fagin and our Board Chair, Michael Saltzman followed by a paddle raise. There will be live music and a special message from Lior Suchard from Israel.
