Chag Sameach! Led by our very own Rabbi Gray, the JHRC Passover seder was filled with spring flowers, sweet blessings, and, of course, lots of matzah. We dipped, we sipped, and we retold the story of the Exodus from Egypt. Our dedicated Life Enrichment team and talented nutritional and dining services are always working behind the scenes to bring Jewish traditions to life for our residents.

“We want to change lives. Not just titles, or salaries, or people’s confidence, but their family’s future."

We’re setting our sights on the future of care with the Campus Academy, a new nurse training initiative. As the population over 85 is projected to exceed 14 million by 2040, SFCJL is ready to meet the need for a bigger workforce by starting at home.

Hear from Chief Nursing Officer Edwin Cabigao on how this tuition free, earn-and-learn program is his way of giving back to the community.

Edwin Cabigao was proud of what he accomplished during his original tenure at the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living (the Campus).

Both staff and leadership attended the Association of Jewish Aging Services (AJAS) 2026 Conference in San Francisco this past week, where they got an opportunity to network and learn from peers. A few highlights include:

• Our CEO and President Adrienne Green, MD was instrumental in the conference planning, bringing together leaders and experts from both the Jewish and medical communities.

• Over 50 attendees opted for a field trip to our Campus, where they got a front row seat to hear about our psychiatric and palliative care services from Dr. Green, Dr. Tara Collins, Vivian Lo, Anne Kinderman, MD, and Jenn "JT" Tomlinson, MSN, AGNP-C.

• Dr. Green was a panelist sharing her experience at Hogeweyk Dementia Village near Amsterdam, which has inspired providers worldwide to reconsider how we support people living with dementia.

Looking forward to next year's conference already!

The good times rolled (and the tiles clicked) until the very last hand was called at our annual Mahj Madness event!

In partnership with Mahj on My Mind and Mahj Social SF, we hosted over 100 diverse players across dedicated social and tournament rooms. It was a fun day of strategy, laughter, and community, highlighting how the power of play can contribute to brain health.

It was a joy to host this month's senior living round table, a gathering that brings together industry professionals to mingle, network, and share personal stories of impact. Thank you to everyone for joining us at Frank Residences and catching up over strawberry smoothies and breakfast bites.

A big thank you to Dr. Krystal Drwencke for her presentation, "Posture, Breathing, and Balance," and for encouraging a friendly competition that got everyone's morning off on the right foot. As we support our seniors in maintaining their independence, these insights into physical wellness are invaluable tools. See you at the next gathering!

There's always a packed house when public affairs strategist and Jewish community activist Sam Lauter speaks at the Campus. A 5th generation San Franciscan, Sam's distinguished 40-year career is defined by his work in government relations, community outreach, and strategic communications. Thank you to Sam and our Life Enrichment Coordinators for providing forums for our residents to learn about current events, ask questions, and engage in thoughtful conversations.
