CULTURE & RECREATION

Jewish Culture

The essence of the Snider Campus for Jewish Seniors, is at its core, a commitment to the principles, culture and traditions of Judaism. The warm Jewish atmosphere is felt in every department, program and element of daily life in our Home.

• We are blessed to have our own synagogue, the Chava and Abrasha Wosk Synagogue, which provides daily, Shabbat and all holy day services. Services are led by residents and volunteers, and are open to all.

• All Jewish holidays are observed through traditions spanning through the religious services, food served and prepared, programs and special events.

• The Louis Brier Home and Hospital & The Weinberg Residence are integral and vibrant parts of the Vancouver Jewish community. Our residents are pioneers of the Canadian Jewish community, and therefore serve to teach, inspire and enrich. Community members, including rabbis, cantors, layleaders, children and families play a large role in maintaining and nurturing the Jewish spirit in our Home.

• All staff are educated and trained in Jewish laws and observances that pertain to the care of our residents.

• We are under the supervision of the B.C. Kashrut Council, and our food is prepared with all the care and flavour of a Bubbe’s kitchen.

• Every effort is made to pay respect to the multi-faceted ways in which Jews observe traditions and holidays in different communities and eras.
