Shabbat Meal Program for Seniors

The Jewish Home at Rockleigh, Russ Berrie Home for Jewish Living, in its continuing effort to enhance the lives of the elderly in our community by providing needed programs and services, offers help to homebound elderly in Bergen County who would like to have a glatt kosher Shabbat meal delivered to their home.

The program is being offered by the Home as the result of anonymous underwriting from a generous member of the community who shares the Home’s mission of helping seniors remain independent and maintain the ability to remain in their own homes for as long as possible.

Homebound seniors in the community who cannot prepare their own Shabbat meals or partake with others, and would like to have one delivered to their home on Friday prior to Shabbat can arrange to have the Jewish Home at Rockleigh deliver a nutritious “shabbasdik” meal.

Senior service agencies as well as Rabbis in the community are encouraged to refer members of their own communities who might benefit from this program.
