Special Kol Nidre Service High Holiday service on Zoom for those living with dementia and their family and helpers is offered for a second year.
F
or the past four years, the Dorothy and Peter Brown Jewish Community Adult Day Program has held a dementia-friendly Kol Nidre/Yom Kippur Service, pivoting to a virtual program in 2020 due to the pandemic. Now in 2021, the award-winning program designed to involve those living with dementia and their loved ones and care partners in a service filled with familiar prayers and melodies will remain virtual and will be held on Sunday, Sept. 12, at 11 a.m. According to Brown Program Director Debi Banooni, last year’s virtual event was successful and offering a remote service again will continue to keep participants protected during the current Delta variant surge. “Last year’s program was
safe, engaging and meaningful. We had people join us who were living with dementia along with their family members, plus people from the community who were looking for a religious service that was brief but still enjoyable and full of tradition. We even had people attend from out of state,” Banooni said. “The Zoom service gives us an opportunity to provide the community a service at a wider arms-length but still with a feeling of intimacy.” As with last years’ service, the program will last 45 minutes and be led by Cantor Pamela Schiffer, with participants needing to register ahead of time to receive a Zoom link. Those registered before Aug. 30 and who live locally will receive a High Holiday gift bag. Late registrants may have a bag delivered if continued on page 40
