Rosh Hashanah offered a moment to reflect and gather strength for the year ahead. As we welcomed 5786, we were reminded that our resilience grows when we show up for one another across generations and experiences.
The Hebrew phrase l’dor v’dor (“from generation to generation”) calls us to care for those who came before us. At JFCS East Bay, our Jewish Community Care lives this value every day, ensuring older adults have the support they need to age with dignity, connection, and hope. As we step into the new year, we renew our commitment to building a community rooted in care, belonging, and resilience.
September also reminds us of our shared responsibility through National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, and National Self-Care Awareness Month. These observances call us to prioritize mental health, honor the contributions of the Hispanic community, and practice self-care as a foundation for sustaining empathy and connection.
Together, we carry these commitments into the year ahead, strengthening the community we share.
