NEVER FORGET

Yom HaShoah services were held on the campuses of JSL, led by Dr. Charles Silow. Staff and volunteers at Fleischman Residence participated by reading aloud some relevant quotes, lit candles and joined survivors and residents in this meaningful memorial service, honoring the lives of 6 million murdered in the Holocaust. I read a quote from Elie Wiesel, a Romanian-born American writer, professor, political activist, Nobel laureate, and Holocaust survivor, who said, “Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Whenever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.”

8 OVER 80 SPOTLIGHT:

ELLIE SLOVIS

We met Ellie Slovis in her home this week to videotape her for Eight Over Eighty. This tennis, pickleball, and ping pong-playing athlete rides horses, hikes, and enjoys the great outdoors, instilling a love of beauty and nature in her four children and 12 grandchildren who lovingly call her “Bama.”

Ellie has lived many lives, inspired by her devoted mother’s volunteerism, who raised the family of five siblings in New York while her father, an obstetrician, delivered babies throughout her formative years.
