Jewish HomeLife

Berman Commons residents recently took a virtual trip beneath the sea during Morty’s MasterClass Series with Oy Vey VR, Inc. and Empowerment University for Seniors.

During “Giants of the Sea: The Blue Whale,” residents used virtual reality to explore the peaceful underwater world of the blue whale — the largest animal to have ever lived on Earth. Through immersive visuals, guided learning, and sensory engagement, residents were able to experience something new, calming, and memorable.

Programs like this are an important part of meaningful aging. Learning new information, engaging with visual experiences, and exploring the world in creative ways can help support curiosity, connection, focus, and cognitive stimulation. Just as importantly, they create moments of wonder, conversation, and joy.

Thank you to Oy Vey VR, Inc. and Empowerment University for Seniors for bringing this special experience to our community.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hearing from the families we serve means everything to us. Thank you, Tom, for trusting us with your loved one's care.

EVENT UPDATE: The Long-Arc of Caregiving program featuring Nancy L. Kriseman, MSW, has been postponed. We look forward to sharing a new date soon and appreciate your understanding. Please stay tuned for updated event details.

On this Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is not forgotten. At Jewish HomeLife, we are grateful for the freedom they protected — and we carry their memory with us today and always. 🇺🇸

In celebration of Shavuot, Berman Commons residents enjoyed a special cooking class led by Chef James, featuring a delicious berry trifle recipe from the Culinary Judaics Academy.

With layers of soft pound cake, fresh berries, berry compote, and light, fluffy whipped cream, this spring and summer dessert was such a hit that residents immediately requested it be added to the Berman menu!

Shavuot is often celebrated with dairy foods and sweet treats, making this berry trifle a perfect way to honor the holiday while bringing residents together for learning, laughter, and a little something sweet. 🍓

Thank you to Chef James for leading such a fun and meaningful class!
