Abstract:
The world's largest socioeconomic demographic movement for the coming decades will be aging. Yet, many American Jewish communities are not adequately configured to discuss, address or avail themselves of the opportunities inherent in the aging imperative. This article, the result of the author's extensive experience in the field of services to the aging, poses the question of if and how the Jewish community should engage its aging population.
