Menorah Manor was awarded a "Jewish Programming Award" from the Association of Jewish Aging Services (AJAS) for it's Gemilut Hasadim Committee. The award was established by AJAS to recognize homes that have specific programs to enhance the spiritual well-being of their residents by furthering the goal of Jewish programming. Marshall Seiden, CEO, accepted the award at the AJAS annual conference in New York City.
The award was delivered to the Gemilut Hasadim Committee and the Resident Council soon after.
