Award Winning Program Promotes Promises Renewed
Menorah Park is proud to have received the Jewish
Programming Award from the Association of Jewish Aging
Services in recognition of our “I Do, Again…A Dream Come
True” vow renewal ceremony, due to the program’s depth and
qualities of innovation and creativity.
Thirteen couples from the R.H. Myers Apartments here on
campus met bi-weekly for three months with Spiritual Living
Department Associate Rabbi Howard Kutner. Volunteers and staff
interviewed and photographed
couples, helped compile
their stories and provided
a special surprise: letters
of congratulations from
President Barack Obama

Flying Macaroni and Age Old Shtick Make
for an Exciting Throw-Down
INSIDE
Bob Agrast, Food Services Director
at Menorah Park, and Noah Budin,
Stone Gardens Assistant Activities
Coordinator, tossed jokes as ‘shtick’
as cheese sauce to an auditorium full
of onlookers and mac and cheese
connoisseurs from across campus,
and judges for the tasty Macaroni
Throw-Down last month. On stage
were three chefs from campus
buildings who gathered their secret
ingredients and engaged in culinary
magic in hopes of taking home the
coveted Throw-Down trophy.

All Things Considered at Stone Gardens
Ross Wilkoff, Stone
Gardens Administrator
At Stone Gardens Assisted
Living and throughout the
Menorah Park Campus,
we embrace the mantra of
engagement. There’s always
opportunity and it’s never too
late for anyone to live an active,
stimulating and communitycentered life. As the saying
goes, life is what you make of it.
And there is so much to do and
discuss here.
News in Israel, the unrest in
Middle Eastern countries,
the impact of technology on learning, avatars, a drinking
fountain, resident ambassadors, a resident late night club,
neighborhood dining, Menorah Café, and Pearl’s Place are
some of the recent topics of conversation at Stone Gardens
among the residents and me during our spin on the NPR
radio program “All Things Considered.” It includes a
similar blend of news, analysis and commentary conceived
as an opportunity for us as a group to talk about topics of
mutual interest and a chance to get to know each other as
a community. No topic is off limits. Current events are
debated, TV shows are critiqued, suggestions are made for
improvements at Stone Gardens, and education is provided
about current services offered on the campus.
Knowing what is available on campus supports residents’
abilities to expand their horizons or simply take advantage
of programs that make life easier and more enjoyable. Since
there are so many different programs and services offered,
communication is important to ensure awareness of all of the
wonderful opportunities and options.
One example is our lifelong learning option, Distance
Learning, which recently received an award of Excellence
in Service by our state association, LeadingAge Ohio. At
Stone Gardens, we have engaged in the program twice
a week for nearly four years. Residents and their invited
guests participate in stimulating face-to-face intellectual
classes, engaging in virtual classrooms without leaving their
community through this internet-based program where a live
presenter interacts with residents during a discussion about a
certain topic. Imagine the Amazon coming to YOUR living
room and the dialogue that would occur, in real time!
Attendance is very good at these programs with between
30-45 people routinely participating. Yet, when talked about
in the “All Things Considered” group, there were several
people who did not realize what the programs were, but are
now regular attendees. Some have also joined friends at the
other residences during those scheduled distance learning
programs.
So come by on Wednesday afternoons at 4:00 p.m. to discuss
what is being considered. Join Lillian Friedlander who likes
to hear what is going on, Natalie Becker who discovers
the latest plans, and Rose Gelb who summed it up nicely,
“I like to see our ideas implemented for the betterment of
everyone.”
Shabbat for the Tots Means a Lot to the Community
Join Noah Budin at the
Stone Gardens Assisted
Living Residence on the
last Friday of every month,
at 11:00 a.m. in the Ivy
Room (activities room) for
an intergenerational Tot
Shabbat.
Tot Shabbat is a fun,
interactive, musical, family
celebration of the Jewish
joys and customs geared for
children ages infant to five years old. Moms, dads, older
siblings, caregivers, grandparents, great-grandparents and
Stone Gardens residents enjoy singing songs, clapping,
and learning the hand motions and body movements in this
participatory sing-a-long. Adults must accompany children
to this event and remain with them for the duration (about
45 minutes). No prior knowledge of Shabbat or the songs
is necessary as Noah will lead and guide everyone easily
through his popular and highly acclaimed Tot Shabbat
session.
Space is limited, so make reservations early by calling
(216) 292-0070.
Bagel Brunch
Because of Passover,
there will be no bagel
brunch in April.
Pancake breakfast
will be as scheduled
on Sunday, April 10th.
Careless Cooking
Kitchen fires are the most
common of household fires.
Smoke damage alone can cost
thousands of dollars to repair.
Award Winning Program Promotes
Promises Renewed
continued from page 1
and First Lady Michelle Obama, and a video posted to
YouTube with photos from the couples’ early years and recent
photos.
It’s not only the cumulative years of marriage or the number
of couples that made the vow renewals special. It’s the
beauty found in each of their lives, stories that unfold to
reveal a wonderful past of memories, and a present filled
with beautiful lives and families who love and need them.
This acknowledgment of their vitality helps encourage them
to remain active and involved feeling enriched with each
experience.
In a world where divorce statistics outweigh the hope of a
lasting marriage, Rabbi Kutner sparked an ongoing trend
of vow renewal in the elderly and the married children
connected with the Menorah Park Campus.

From Russia to America
The Story of David G
Lights, Camera, Action!
Starlet in the Making!
By Volunteer Helene Weinberger
It only took the telling of her dream to be on the big
screen to the D.R.E.A.M. (dare to reach every amazing
moment) Team to put the cameras in motion for R.H.
Myers Apartments resident Ruth Eisner, whose dream
recently came true! Ruth wanted to be featured on TV
or in a commercial, and thanks to our Dream Team,
her dream came true! Ruth wrote her own script and
starred in her own commercial for The R.H. Myers
Apartments recently, and she did a great job! A little
music from her favorite musical was added and the
whole package just melded together naturally!
Menorah Park Campus
serves more than 1000
clients and residents
combined. Each
person has a rich
history of moments
lived with memories
to share. Author and
Wiggins Place resident
David Genshaft put his
life and experiences
into a book titled
“David G, The Story
of Me.” David was
born in Vitebsk, Russia
at a time when Russian
Jews had every
reason to be afraid of
pogroms, and of being conscripted into the army. In 1916
his father, Nathan, was ordered to report for duty; with the
sound advice of the local rabbi, he fled to America. David,
his mother, and his brother did not see his father again until
1923, when they arrived at Ellis Island. They moved to
Canton, Ohio, where the family knew a “landsman,” and his
father’s skill as a kosher butcher enabled him to find a job.
The family settled into a Jewish neighborhood and became
a part of the community. It is the “flavor” of this book
and its detailed memories of places such as stores, houses,
synagogues, hospitals, department stores, and so much that
has now disappeared with the era, that make it memorable!
David’s picturesque descriptions of the hardships of the
depression, the interruption of his education due to his
father’s death, his World War II foreign service in Iraq, his
travels to Baghdad, and his marriage to Anne Klein and
their ensuing family, help readers feel as if they were there.
David seems to recall every moment from theatres to a Bar
Mitzvah; and particularly his involvement with the meat
business, which became his lifetime gainful career. He
acquired partial ownership of the company he worked for,
Superior Packing Co., and after several difficult growth
periods the firm bought Sugardale Meats. When David
retired, he sold his shares of the company.
Photos in the book illustrate this family’s saga, which is
now a part of America’s history, as well as the development
of the small businesses in this country. His is a story of
immense effort and hardship, of achievement, of family
sadness and joy along the way! David plans to update his
book in the near future. Perhaps he will include his life at
Wiggins Place within its pages.
We were surprised when she began to read her own
written script and that, unsolicited, she wrote about
loving life at Myers! Ruth’s dream role was recorded
and posted on YouTube.com, for the entire world to
see! Our

own disc of her movie debut. After filming, all her fans
gathered around to help her celebrate. “I’ve gotten so
much attention from my friends here at Myers over this
big screen debut,” Ruth told the team with a big smile,
“I can’t thank you enough, you have really made me a
happy woman!”

In 1992, in honor of Sol Roth’s 75th birthday, his family
and friends decided the perfect way to honor the president
of Pierre’s Ice Cream was by building an ice cream parlor at
Menorah Park, where he had served as a board member and
life trustee for so many years.
Pierre’s Parlor in the Park opened in the summer of 1992
and has served as a gathering place for residents and their
families ever since. This year, it was decided the parlor
needed a little “facelift.”
When Sol passed away in 2005, his family asked that
contributions be sent to Menorah Park and they were used
to dedicate the DriveWise program. Due to the generosity
of so many people, especially Harriet Roth, Sol’s wife,
there were additional funds to renovate the ice cream parlor.
The new Parlor in the Park has updated wallpaper, a faux
stained glass ceiling, new signage, cabinetry, equipment
and historical pictures of Pierre’s through the years. There’s
even a new menu!
On Sunday, February 27th, Pierre’s was rededicated in
honor of Sol Roth with free ice cream for everyone. A
special thanks to the ever-generous Roth family. We’re sure
families will enjoy the ice cream parlor for many years to
come.
Watching as Harriet Roth cuts the ribbon
for the new Parlor in the Park are family
members Shelley Roth, president of Pierre’s
Ice Cream, Allen, Sharon, Jaclyn and Austin
Roth and Bruce Schwartz.
Serving ice cream at the rededication are Teen
Philanthropy & Leadership Board members
Reid Singer, Jason Schreibman, Dani Berns and
Dane Adelman.

Teen Philanthropy and
Leadership Board Makes
Allocations
For its eleventh year, the Teen Philanthropy and Leadership
Board learned about philanthropy, decision-making,
Menorah Park and making allocations to programs and
equipment on the campus. This year’s board is made up of
thirteen students from area high schools including Chagrin
Falls, Orange, Shaker, Hawken, Laurel and University
Schools.
Since its inception, the board has allocated $227,379 to 165
grants.
This year’s funding for the board came from the
Menorah Park Foundation, the Roz and Sam Krasney
Teen Philanthropy Fund, the Gail and Elliott Schlang
Philanthropic Fund, and the Naomi G. and Edwin Z. Singer
Family Fund.

Jesse Schreibman, Baui Senkfor, Dane Edelman, Kyle
Schreibman, Jason Schreibman, Amanda Block,
(standing) Reid Singer, Claire Cohen, Greg Singer, Steve
Berick, James Berick and Dani Berns.
Funds for Media and
Communication Systems
Improve Life on Campus
Thanks to the generosity of Menorah Park board
member Ruth Mayers and her husband Doug,
Wiggins Place residents like Ida Kaufman are now
receiving photos from family and friends on their
new PRESTO machine.
Thanks to a gift from the Esther and Hyman Rapport
Philanthropic Trust, residents throughout the campus will
be able to receive 13 additional TV channels including
Biography, Oprah Winfrey Network, Discovery Science,
E!Entertainment, National Geographic and Fit TV.
Another portion of the funds enabled Wiggins Place to
purchase a new sound system.
Music: On a Healing Note
Rhoda Berns enjoys the “sound of music” with Music Therapist
Katie Gardner.
Egyptians played instruments in 4000 BCE! According to
Katie Gardner, music therapist at Menorah Park, music as
therapy began after World War II, when nurses discovered
the huge benefits for hospitalized veterans when they played
instruments.
Katie is trained and certified in the field, spreading pleasure
and comfort to residents with musical performances, singing,
drumming, whistling, and other musical means to celebrate
sound with this enriching type of recreation. Music therapy,
as used clinically by skilled professionals, is an intervention
used to achieve specific goals and objectives. It’s a form
of non-pharmacological pain management, offering
social interaction and emotional intimacy with family and
caregivers. Music therapy provides opportunities for positive
changes in mood and behavior, a sense of control, increased
Deficiency-Free Surveys
Wiggins Place joins Menorah Park and Stone
Gardens Assisted Living in receiving a perfect
score in its annual unannounced inspection by
the Ohio Department of Health.
Each year, State surveyors conduct surprise
inspections of skilled nursing and assisted
living communities in Ohio. The purpose of
the survey is to ensure that the facility complies
with hundreds of state regulations pertaining to all
levels of operations in the past year. This includes
specifics from environmental and documentation
review, observation of care and services provided,
interviews with residents, families, staff and
more. Very few homes achieve the honor of being
When referred for therapy, clients receive an
individualized treatment plan that can include
a variety of musical interventions. Clients
can compose, sing, play, or otherwise respond
as they wish. Sometimes a positive response
may be the making of eye contact or the lifting
of eyebrows as the individual recalls some
song from the distant past which may produce
a special memory. Katie begins her therapy
with a short song, “Hello” using the name of a
person. After six or more sessions, people sing
along with all the words. One-half of Katie’s
time is spent with long-term care residents, and
the other half with hospice patients. One patient
wrote poetry and put it to music. The CD of
that creation will be a treasure to the family.
Just as some residents have begun to create art
in their older years, some residents learn to play
a musical instrument, whether guitar, keyboard, dulcimer
or drums. One of the objectives, of course, is the joy of
creativity, but the other is the actual learning. Music is the
art that covers the greatest surface of the brain. When you
think of it, a person who plays the piano is using hands, feet,
hearing, sight, and emotional reaction. Each instrument
demands a different type of learning and response,
supporting maintenance and even improvement of cognitive
function.
Katie says she loves working with our population and
eliciting the kinds of responses that come forth, and she has
discovered what she believes is her life’s work. Please play
on, Katie, as new learning constantly occurs as the result of
your efforts!
deficiency-free; all three of our award-winning residences
have achieved these high standards of quality.
What truly sets Wiggins Place and our campus
apart is that the employees aren’t only there to
perform their jobs; they are a staff comprised of
compassionate people, eager to make a difference.
They are a staff that values human life.
These deficiency-free surveys are a tribute to our
staff’s commitment and dedication to the people we
serve. According to Wiggins Place Administrator
Nancy Sutula, “Quality care and service begins and
ends with quality people. It’s a privilege and honor
to be a part of this team.”

Passover – Welcome to
a Seat at the Table
In the telling of the Passover
story, the Hagaddah presents
us with four different
children. Each has his own
personality and his own
approach to Passover and
their relationship with G-d.
The wise child is well
educated and embraces
a relationship with G-d.
Rabbi Ephraim Karp, The wicked, rebellious,
Director of Spiritual
or stubborn child may
Living
be educated, but doesn’t
understand why the details are important and isn’t
really interested in a relationship with G-d. The
simple child may or may not have some education, but
approaches everything in a simple manner. Then there
is the child who does not even know to ask. Perhaps
he/she is just so oblivious to the whole idea of Passover
and a relationship with G-d that he/she doesn’t know
that there is anything to ask.
These different approaches may belong to each one of
us as well. We may at times reflect on our heritage and
feel deeply committed to G-d and our holidays, and then
there may be those days that we are just so overwhelmed
with life that we really feel that our relationship with
G-d is just inconvenient and irrelevant. Some days we
might want to just sit back and enjoy our experiences
without really giving much thought to the more profound
moments of life, and at other times we might feel just so
out of touch that we don’t even know how to respond.
The Hagaddah addresses every type of individual at
all times. Each one of us is part of G-d’s people, and
each part of us is engaged in a relationship with G-d.
Sometimes we might feel that we don’t belong, that
it’s not for us, we’re not worthy or not the right kind of
people, but the Hagaddah looks and sees each one of us
around the room. With our various personalities, flaws,
fluctuations and imperfections, we are the people sitting at
the Seder. We are the people that G-d takes out of Egypt.
I could easily just put it back in our laps and say that
the choice is ours, but that is not what Passover is really
all about. The choice was G-d’s! G-d wanted us and
G-d took us out! Whoever we are or however we feel,
all we really need to do is show up at the table and that
is enough for G-d to reach out and embrace each of us
with that famous outstretched arm!
Come join us and celebrate Passover with family and
friends for seders, services or just a holiday visit.
Memories of a Lifetime From Menorah
Park’s Friedman Residents
April 27th is national “tell a story” day! The Friedman Pavilion
is taking the imaginations of its residents to new heights with a
program called “Stories Straight From My Heart.” The program
offers residents opportunities to reminisce about childhood
memories and favorite events while sharing their stories with
others. Their stories will be written down and compiled into a
collection of short works and reproduced for each participant,
providing a nice opportunity for them to share their stories with
family and friends. To hear some of the creative discussions firsthand, come to the first program scheduled April 27th, 2011, at
3:00 p.m.
Sue Sternberger

sharing the fun
of Purim with

Celebrate Food on
World Health Day!
Food can make a difference to your health! On April 7th, World
Health Day, we should all make a promise to eat healthy foods
such as those served on the Menorah Park campus.
Sliced carrot looks like the human eye. Carrots enhance
function and blood flow to the eyes.
The tomato has four chambers and is
red like the heart. Tomatoes are loaded
with lycopine and are indeed pure heart
and blood food!
Walnuts look like a little brain, have a left
and right hemisphere, and upper cerebrums
and lower cerebellums. Walnuts help
develop more than three dozen neurotransmitters for brain function.
Kidney beans actually heal and help
maintain kidney function and yes, they
look exactly like the human kidneys!
April is also Foot Health and Occupational Therapy Month.
Check with the Peter B. Lewis Aquatic & Therapy Center for
your free healthy back, balance and mobility screenings. Call
our therapist at (216) 595-7345 to make an appointment.
down then the buzzer went off. Tom from R.H. Myers took
the trophy with his creative version that included sun dried
tomatoes and gouda. The judges were Menorah Park’s Merri
Bunge from the education department, renowned Brazilian
Chef Sergio Abramov, who owns two restaurants in the area,
and Menorah Park Chef Richard Farkas. The judges were so
impressed with each recipe, they carefully tasted, then re-tasted
the dishes to choose the winner. See the recipe at the right.
The ABC’S of Life in the
Clubs of the ADC
For an absolutely fun-filled day spent in the company of
friends, sharing laughter, camaraderie, crafts, outings, and
special projects that merit meaningful results, spend a day
at the Mandel Adult Day Care Center on the Menorah Park
Campus. It’s a social gathering place where participants meet
new people, have active, productive days and make lasting
friendships in various well-defined clubs that are individually
focused on the interests and abilities of its members.
Each day encompasses activities for all members, and you never
know what surprises might be in store for this community.
ADC staff members are always searching for ways to surprise
its members and their caregivers, and find many ways to help
members feel as special as they are. When staff heard that FOX
8 was looking for a loving, deserving person for their segment,
“Pay It Forward,” they immediately thought of Rufus Dudley,
best friend and caregiver of Adult Day Center client Bill
Vacarriello. The Staff shared the story of his caring nature, the
special relationship he and Bill share, and even told Channel 8
Anchor Wayne Dawson of Rufus’ car troubles.
FOX 8 paid the ADC a special visit with a handful of $50
bills, $400 in all, to give to Bill’s caregiver, Rufus, rewarding
him for his kindness and caring. Rufus was honored and taken
by surprise, smiling as staff and onlookers applauded him as a
member of the ADC extended family.
