THE WAITING LIST AT THE WEILS
Several people have asked questions about the waiting list at The Weils, our senior living campus in Chagrin Falls, trying to understand what it means to them and to the Montefiore community. As I write this, we have several families on the waiting list for assisted living suites at our building. If you, your friends, or your parent or another relative have been wondering what assisted living feels like, it makes sense to come by now for a tour.

Message from Rabbi Joel Chazin
THE SOLDIER ISRAEL WOULD NOT LEAVE BEHIND
Although Israel is paying an extraordinary price for Gilad Shalit, releasing over 1,000
Palestinian prisoners, many of them hardened killers, it marks the end of five years of agony and returns Israel to one of its core values: never to abandon one of its sons in the field of warfare.
