Sacred Seasons is a valuable and innovative tool for bringing Jewish elders to encounter their connection to spirit. I congratulate Hiddur for the thought and sensitivity with which it has created this amazing, heart-opening resource. Sacred Seasons celebration kits will enable professionals and volunteers to experience their own connection to sacred time, and in this way profoundly touch the souls of those in their care.

Hiddur’s Sacred Seasons kits are fundamental instruments for tikkun olam. Many lives will be changed for the better because of the mitzvah-creativity of Hiddur and Rabbi Dayle Friedman.

Sacred Seasons provides a powerful, experiential vehicle for Jewish residents in residential facilities to affirm their Jewish identity and to create communities of meaning.

We have learned from more than two decades of research that older people have a greater sense of meaning in their lives when they can participate in shared religious celebrations. Sadly, too many Jewish elders have no way to do this simply because they happen to live in facilities that lack resources for Jewish spiritual care. The widespread use of Sacred Seasons kits will ensure that all Jewish elders can participate in the rituals that give meaning to time and life.
