The JCC’s Seniors & Adults Department strives to involve adults in the community who have a variety of interests, and provides a close-knit group for seniors to dine, socialize, exercise, learn and be entertained.

Our Bobbi Epstein Lewis Senior Adult Dining Program offers affordable kosher meals five days a week to all seniors age 60 and older, serving over 6,000 kosher meals every year.

The program also conveys Jewish culture through celebration, fellowship and weekly Shabbat experiences. Many seniors also spend hours at the JCC playing mah jongg and attending the Neulander Family Sports and Fitness Center’s senior adult group exercise classes.

There’s no better place to go for a delicious, well-balanced, kosher meal in the company of friends. Meals are prepared fresh daily in our kosher kitchen. This dining program is funded in part by Onondaga County Adult and Long Term Care Services, New York State Office for the Aging, and the Jewish Federation of Central New York. Additional funds are provided by the JCC.
