Due to the growing concern of COVID-19 (coronavirus), JFS is taking the precautionary measure of suspending our social and wellness centers until further notice. As the situation evolves, we will continue to keep you updated about JFS’s response at www.jfssd.org/healthupdate.
Take a computer course in the Cyber Café, join a fitness or yoga class, or watch a film in the movie room. Then catch up with friends over a delicious Kosher lunch, featuring our soup and salad bar served daily.
Some of our favorite entrees include brisket with mashed potatoes, baked fish with garlic & lemon, and Chicken Bombay with brown rice. You can also take home fruits and vegetables from our bi-monthly “Fresh Market.”
