Little Sister Helen Has a Birthday

Our "little sister" Helen had a birthday.
Our cutting edge, ground breaking, nothing-else-like-it-in-the-world (really), memory care unit Helen's Place turned one year old this Spring.
There was a wonderful Gala, all planned by the residents of Helen's Place with the help of Marina Sanchez and Marc Raxlin, their fearless leaders. They planned the menu, the entertainment, and even wrote and gave speeches. Here are some photos from the event.





Welcoming Elijah

This was a special moment at the Helen's Place Seder this past Spring.



He was a little early, but during the Seder, I got to welcome Elijah. No, really.
This is Elijah Ballah. He's on the dietary staff here. I opened the door and there he was. This is the first time I actually got to welcome Elijah in person to a Seder.

Next year, in Jerusalem.
