Pag* 8 • Th9 N§wi - March, 1995 Blumenthal Jewish Home Welcomes Consolidated High School Students Historical Society Hosts 7th Annual Day For History Seventy students from the Consolidated High School of Jewish Studies discovered a little bit about old age when they visited the Home on Sunday January 29th. The students, members of the eighth and ninth grade classes were participating in a retreat entitled “Old Age is not for Sissies.” The students spent Saturday evening together with their teachers in Charlotte % learning about growing old through film, discussion and ex periential activities, according to Sue Brodsky, Director of the School. The students came pre pared with pencil and paper and cameras to take oral histories and to record their mission. When students and teachers arrived at BJH the students were exuberant and eager to meet “old age” face to face. The resi dents were excited to meet the students who had come to see them. The Fair Oaks CommoiTS. buzzed with excitement as resi dents delighted in the attention of the teenagers, answered questions, enjoyed music per formed by the students and re ceived gifts of plants brought by the students for each resident. Most of all, the residents en joyed the small moments of a conversation or a loving hug and in knowing that they were re membered. The students came to leam about old age and they left knowing they had made friends and had put tzedakah into ac tion. Intergenerational programs can bridge the generations and BJH looks forward to continu ing the relationship with stu dents in the Consolidated High School. The Charlotte Jewish Histori cal Society (CJHS) will host the 7th Annual Day for History at Shalom Paric on Sunday, March 5,1995 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Videotape oral history inter views of long-standing Jewish Charlotteans will be conducted throughout the day.
