As the now-famous Rodney Dangerlield line goes. they don't get no respect. A large step in rectifying that situation was taken on June 6, 1977 when a new facility for the Jewish Home for the Aged was opened. The new complex, sti ll a very viable institution, is a new facility con­ sisting of 200 beds as well as modernization of the 1953 wing which consists of approx­ imately 55 beds, making a total of 255 beds. The new facility was attached to the old building which is located at 99 Hillside Avenue in Providence. The o riginal Jewish Home for the Aged was located on Orms Street. Max Alperin, then president and general chairman of the Home, said that after several years of study and preparation, the building plans were linalized and many bids from contractors had been received. The contract was eventually awarded to Donatelli Building Company, Inc. The building committee under the co­ chairmanship of Harold Leavitt and Alex­ ander Rumpler together with the architec­ tural firm of Robinson Green Beretta had worked steadily to devise a plan to provide a new and modern facility capable of providing the highest quality of skilled nur­ sing care, rehabilitation, and personal care for the elderly. The other members, of the building committee were Milton M. Dubinsky, Irving I. Fain. Irving Kronen­ berg (present director of the home), David Penn. and Jerome R. Sapolsky (present Miriam Hospital president) . ------•-...•-""""'

I'm proud to he part of a Jewish family that lights Sab­ bath candles and celebrates holidays, goes to the synagogue and eats special foods and goes to Sunday or Hebrew School. I'm proud to walk up to the Torah with the Rabbi and say prayers with our congregation. It's so much fun to he part of a Jewish family: to dress up in costumes on Purim, to share a beautiful seder on Passover, to decorate a sukkah and dance with a Torah at Simchat Torah and to light the menorah and exchange gifts at Chanukah.

One of the nicest things about my Jewish family is that it is made up not only of my relatives, hut of all the Jewish people in my community and, in fact, all the Jews in the entire world. - Mark Levine Age 8 Danbury, Connecticut
