Kehila Richmond Jewish Seniors
The Kehila Society of Richmond focuses on strategic planning with partner and constituent agencies to foster and create satellite and outreach programs and services within the Richmond Jewish community.
The Canadian census shows that Richmond is on the road to having the highest concentration of seniors in the Lower Mainland; Kehila has worked diligently to address the growing needs of this population with the vision of empowering seniors to act on their own behalf and to exercise their rights and advocate for their own interests. With this philosophy in mind, Kehila, in partnership with Beth Tikvah Congregation to establish a weekly seniors program. Thank you to the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver as well as our generous donors for helping to fund this important program.
We are Seniors, working with Seniors, for Seniors
The program runs from September to June every Monday, from 10:00am to 2:00pm, except on holidays, at Beth Tikvah Congregation, 9711 Geal Road (Williams and Railway) in Richmond.
From 11:00-11:45 seniors can enjoy coffee and mingle. After a 3 course meal from 12:00-1:00 seniors enjoy an hour program of either music, health related topics, trivia, games and holiday specific programming.
Every third Monday, we sponsor a Wellness Clinic where you can have your blood pressure taken, speak to a nurse or outreach worker, or, even get a manicure, pedicure, reflexology, etc.
If getting to the program is difficult, a FREE bus service is available. Thank you to our generous sponsor of this program City of Richmond.
