Abstract:

This article takes an investigative approach into the current situation of programs for the Jewish elderly. The article stresses the need for a comprehensive program that improves not just the physical, but also the social, intellectual and political aspects of a person’s life. The author argues that this need is not widely recognized enough in the field.
