A Jewish Singles Group for Boomers

DO YOU REMEMBER Woodstock? How about the
moon landing? Did you ever see a movie at something
called a “drive-in?”

If you answered yes, you just might be a baby boomer
— and thus the right age for the Boomer Engagement
Network (BEN) for Jewish singles.

is year-old program from the Jewish Federation
brings together Jewish singles born between 1946 and
1964 for community building and social events. Members
see plays and lms, grab drinks, dine out and altogether
have such a blast that one participant called it “a youth
group for grown-ups.”

BEN is fun, but it also meets a serious need. e same
generation that witnessed the Summer of Love is now
being called “the loneliest generation,” with a large num-
ber of people facing aging alone, thanks to higher divorce
rates and natural life events like spousal loss. But creating
a network of supportive relationships reduces loneliness
and introduces joy — not to mention the potential for
romance.

Interested in getting involved (and possibly hitting it

‘The Fox and the Flock’ E-book:
Our Sukkot Gift to You

THE EVENING OF Oct. 13 began the joyous, eight-day holiday of Sukkot,
celebrating the bounty of the fall harvest.

Its traditions are lled with symbolism, including shaking a lulav and etrog
(symbols of the harvest), eating foods stu ed with even more foods (a symbol
of plenty) and building a sukkah, a temporary hut in which we gather for
meals. e sukkah symbolizes the Israelites’ dwellings during our 40 years in
the wilderness — the fragile homes of a people constantly on the move.

When you visit a sukkah to feast and sing, you also plug yourself into our
roots as a wandering people, at the mercy of nature, dependent upon one
another for survival. Gathering in the sukkah becomes a powerful reminder
of the fragility of the very notion of a physical “home”— that indeed, home is
wherever you’re surrounded by love and care.

In this spirit of celebrating both nature and community on Sukkot, the
Jewish Federation created this exclusive storybook for you and your loved ones
to enjoy. Download the e-book by visiting jewishphilly.org/ebook.
