Sholom has played an important role in the Sherman family for many years. I joined the staff in 2010, and my dad, Jim Sherman, preceded me at Sholom as a teacher and discussion leader. I was thrilled to join an organization that offers seniors a plethora of opportunities for enriching, positive, and fulfilling lives while playing a critical role in the Jewish community. Today, as a Sholom housing director for affordable, low-income senior apartments, I am proud to continue the legacy of providing high quality services for our elderly. I look forward every day to doing my best to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
My parents, Estiez”l and Jim, made their home at Knollwood Place Apartments in 2018, and Mom moved to Memory Care in the Roitenberg Assisted Living Residence in the fall of 2023 for the last four months of her life. Ready to transition from their own two-story home, they selected Sholom because it offered tremendous programs, Kosher food, continuum of care services, and a top-notch independent living apartment building. They made the move and never looked back. Throughout Mom’s illness, staff could not have been more caring, attentive, or professional and the Shermans are so grateful.
I am proud to have included the Sholom Foundation in my will. I chose this organization for my legacy gift as it will help enable Sholom to grow and thrive long into the future. In this way, I can help guarantee that Sholom’s vital work continues.
With each generation since the doors first opened, Sholom continues to provide expert care for all our parents and our community. My family, like generations before it, is a recipient of the foresight and generosity of those who also believed in Sholom. It’s up to my generations and future ones to secure this legacy and provide the means for Sholom to realize its important mission.
