JUDAIC CALENDAR 5781-5782 2020-2021 “Hello All, My name is Levi Sherman. I live at Reena. I go to day program at Reena. I love Reena. I meet my friends at Reena. I do exercise at Reena. I do colouring.” Levi has been part of the Reena Family for many years. Levi continues to put a smile on everyone’s face …. Dear Reena Staff and Families, It is with great pleasure that we present this year’s Judaic calendar. Inside the pages of the calendar, you can view the many activities enjoyed and celebrated at Reena. All are led by our dedicated staff and volunteers. Naturally, you’ll be able to review details of the coming holidays, important occasions and details that will allow you to observe the Jew- ish holidays. Every calendar, including this one, has a cyclical nature. Holidays and events come and go every year, and this may instill a sense of predictability and calm. During the recent pandemic, Reena staff worked tirelessly to instill a sense of peace for our individuals and to maintain predictable schedules. I hope you will find the calendar useful for yourself , your team, family and beyond. Wishing you all a very successful and healthy year ahead.
