Welcome to the L'Chaim Group. Our group began over 6 years ago with generous seed money for three years from the Grotta Foundation for Senior Care, now under the auspices of United Jewish Communities. Congregation Beth El has provided programming for seniors from our synagogue and the surrounding community. Our group provides the group with the opportunity for socialization, education, and pleasurable times in the company of others. It is a time of expanding horizons, renewing friendships, and engaging in programs that interest and entertain.

Some of the past programs have included movies such as the foreign film " Left Luggage", a comedian for our annual Hanukkah Party, speakers such as Ellen Kurtz on "Five Monumental Sculptors" and Dr. Deb Smith on "The Significance of the Ten Commandments". The group has taken trips to the Museum of Jewish Heritage and the Jewish Museum to see the Modigliani Exhibit. They also went to see the Off-Broadway play, "The Immigrant" in New York City and a trip to Philadelphia to see the old synagogue, Mikve Israel and the Constitution Center.

For additional information on upcoming events or other questions please contact the Beth El office at 973-763-0111.
