Adversaries to Join Russian-led Free Trade Agreement
Israel and Iran are both expected to join the Russian-led
Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) — although the adversaries
won’t be able to trade with each, JNS.org reported.

Each country will sign its own free trade accord with the bloc.
A spokesperson for the Economy Ministry told The Times of
Israel on Feb. 11 that Israel began negotiating with the EAU in April.
“The agreement will cover various aspects of trade in goods,
such as rules of origin, customs cooperation, technical barriers
to trade, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, e-commerce, dis-
pute settlement and others,” the spokesperson said.

Venezuela Interim President Juan Guiado
Wants Israeli Ties Renewed, Seeks Aid
Interim Venezuela president Juan Guiado said the process of sta-
bilizing relations with Israel is ongoing, according to JTA.

“It is very important for us. We will renew ties, later we will
announce the appointment of an ambassador to Israel, and we
really hope an ambassador from Israel will come to us.”

Guiado told Israel Hayom that he was hopeful Israel will send
humanitarian aid to Venezuela.

Venezuela is in a tumultuous state these days, with Guiado, the
president of the National Assembly of Venezuela, calling himself
the country’s interim president last month. He called on President
Nicolas Maduro to authorize new elections, calling Maduro’s elec-
tion last year a fraud. The country’s military still supports Maduro.

About 6,000 Jews live in Venezuela. l

COMMUNITY NEWS

The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia
mobilizes financial and volunteer resources to
address the communities’ most critical priorities
locally, in Israel and around the world.

What is the NORC?

IN NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA, there’s a free retirement community
— one where older adults can age safely and with dignity in their very own
homes, with Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s support. We call it the
Northeast NORC.

NORC stands for Naturally Occurring Retirement Community. It’s a neighbor-
hood that contains a large proportion of people over age 60. Since the area wasn’t
originally planned to meet aging populations’ needs, residents of a NORC can
find it increasingly hard to do things like grocery shopping, changing light bulbs,
mowing the lawn or getting to a doctor’s appointment. Often, they can feel isolated.

And yet residents of the Northeast NORC — which spans six zip codes — would
prefer to continue living in their homes. That’s why Jewish Federation, along with
many community partners, created a system to link NORC’s 1,700 members with
the services they need.

NORC provides home assessments; home maintenance and repairs; transpor-
tation to medical appointments and Jewish life and learning events; socialization
opportunities; and information and referral services.

“The squirrels get in and chew up all my screens. And they sent someone and
repaired all my screens.” said Helen, a 92-year-old NORC resident. “I have a friend
in North Wales who tells me, ‘I wish I had someone like that.’”

NORC personnel also regularly check in with friendly visits and phone calls.
And residents are encouraged to come to KleinLife for free exercise classes, garden-
ing in the hoop houses and socializing over lunch and learns.

Volunteers are key to the NORC’s success.
They do everything from raking leaves, flipping mattresses, painting and
changing smoke alarm batteries to minor repairs like installing shower grab bars
and winterizing homes by covering windows in plastic. NORC volunteers find the
experience meaningful beyond the work itself, as it becomes an opportunity to talk
and connect with older adults, and hear their stories. One recent group of teenage
volunteers visiting a woman living by herself even lit Chanukah candles together.
At the Jewish Federation, we help our older adults stay healthy, safe and con-
nected. For more information about the NORC or to volunteer, visit jewishphilly.
org/norc or contact the NORC at [email protected] or 215-320-0351.

of the size and characteristics of Greater Philadelphia

communities, and examine key changes in the community
by county, which includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware,

Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties, and throughout
the region as a whole.

You may be selected so check your mail and look for
