Sholom's values include enriching the lives of residents by providing an environment where residents, regardless of age, can stimulate their mind, their body, and their spirit.

Featured on our cover are longtime married friends, Marilyn and Melvin Warren, residents of Bentson Family Assisted Living. You can read their story on page 10.

Dear Sholom Community, During the past two years, I was repeatedly asked two questions: what motivated me to serve as Board President and what have I enjoyed the most from the experience. For those who have asked (and for those who have not), the answers lie in this Annual Report—so keep reading until you reach the last page. This year’s Annual Report includes three inspiring stories that highlight the essence of Sholom and the impact that individuals can have on the residents of Sholom.

As you will see from reading the articles, the mission of Sholom goes well beyond caring for the seniors in our community. Sholom’s values include enriching the lives of residents by providing an environment where residents,

regardless of age, can stimulate their mind, their body, and their spirit. Living up to these values takes many dedicated individuals like Evie Shore and Bryce Beinke whose contributions and efforts are described in detail in the next few pages and for whom we should all be grateful. But individuals alone are not enough, as evidenced by the Sholom Auxilliary’s sponsorship of the Live 2B Healthy® Senior Fitness Program that Bryce leads.

Sholom and our community have so much to be proud of—the employees who provide outstanding care to our residents, our facilities, our programs and activities, and most importantly, the organization’s commitment to the residents and their families. It has truly been a privilege to work with Sholom’s exceptional management team and dedicated staff as well as the lay leadership of the organization and the broader community to shape and fulfill Sholom’s mission.

I have grown personally and professionally from the experience and for that I am grateful.

On behalf of the entire Sholom organization, I thank each of you and all of you for your support.

very step we take at Sholom is intended to enrich people’s lives. Sholom cares. Sholom has a purpose of meeting the needs of people because every individual is valued. We believe in each person’s well-being and through the good deeds of Sholom, we embrace the guiding tradition of honoring our fathers and mothers.

Energy, enthusiasm, and exceptional promise is reflected in the over 1,000 residents, patients, and clients that Sholom touches daily. We could not honor this promise without the dedication of our over 950 professional staff, and our families, volunteers, boards, committees, and Auxiliary.

This annual report features some examples of Sholom’s residents and programs. We are proud to introduce you to Evie Shore. Evie began the awardwinning education program in 2005 for residents that offers classes in a variety of subjects, history, art, poetry, and other wide-ranging themes (see page four and visit our Sholom Website). I believe that Evie recognizes that life is a school and we are here to learn. All of the daily problems that we each encounter are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away, like algebra class, but the lessons we learn will last a lifetime.

The Sholom Auxiliary, full of vigor, energy and enthusiasm, sponsors a “Live 2 B Healthy®” exercise program at our Roitenberg Family Assisted Living (see page six and visit our Sholom Website).

This program is the ultimate antidepressant.

It makes people smile, and puts them in charge of

their happiness, while giving vitality to each person who shares in the experience. And as featured on the cover of this report, we share with you a married couple of 63 years, the Warrens, who reside here at our Bentson Family Assisted Living residence, who personify the “spirit” of Sholom.

These three stories encapsulate just some of the ways that Sholom brings benefits and joy to our community. Sholom offers the enviroment for people to continue to accomplish and fulfill their lives; to continue to grow mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Sincerely,

Ben Laub Ben Laub Chief Executive Officer

A

ging Services of Minnesota honored Evie Shore, age 87, with its

prestigious “2013 Spirit of Aging Award” during its 2013 Institute and Meeting in early February.

Evelyn “Evie” Shore, a resident of Sholom’s Knollwood Place Apartments on the Ackerberg Family Sholom West Campus in St. Louis Park, introduced Sholom residents to a whole new world of learning when she founded The Academy at Sholom in 2005.

Evie, a retired teacher and M.A., moved from Boston to become a Sholom resident eight years ago. Since then, she made it her mission to research learning and brain health, and found that older adults are more engaged, and healthier in both mind and body when they continue learning.

Armed with copious research, and encouragement from the administration of Sholom to develop her idea, Evie set out to amass a large library full of videos on topics ranging from art and anti-Semitism to Zanzibar and zoology. She created detailed program notes from which a spirited discussion could ensue after viewing a 30-minute session.

Evie’s curriculum includes courses from history and current events to reading books and writing magazine articles.

According to one Sholom resident

and student of The Academy, “I had no idea I could write. But I found that I can write, and it has brought joy to my life.”

The program has now been ex­­ panded to the Shaller Family Sholom East Campus in St. Paul, and an “At Your Service Manual” outlines a program that could be replicated by other organizations.

Evie believed in the uncommon truth that anyone—even the elderly—can learn new things, stimulate the growth of brain cells, and therefore hold at bay the hitherto-believed inevitable deterioration of memory. In so doing, society would benefit by not having its caregiver resources drained of time, money, and energy. Not only that, but the time left to each senior would also be a lot more fun and exciting!

As we age, our brains deteriorate for many reasons, including disuse and natural processes. Every year, the brain’s production of neuro-modulators—key brain chemicals for learning and remembering—drops sharply. The resulting memory loss is compoundedby negative learning behaviors. We start to make lists. The hazier things get, the harder the brain has to work to process them.

An active center for lifelong learning, The Academy at Sholom was created to ensure that the residents of Sholom campuses would have access to well thought-out, high-quality and challenging educational choices.

Brain aging and the associated diseases are major public health

problems, the significance of which is estimated to grow markedly in the foreseeable future. The Academy at Sholom works to enhance brain activity and reduce these signs of aging.

"

“I have found that the variety of programs offered by the ACADEMY has given me something to look forward to almost every day, and I learn something new each time I attend a class.”

—Ruthie Schoenberger

"

“The Academy has been a wonderful innovation for seniors. Thanks to Evelyn Shore and the “powers that be” for activating our minds, curiosity and interest.”

—Beverly Davis

"

“Evelyn is a real visionary who has established a wonderful educational program at our Ackerberg Campus.

Through extraordinary effort, she truly is the principal who coordinates and directs a wide number of classes that are actively consumed by our seniors. She and her fellow students dispel the myth that seniors only want to schmooze and play bingo. This is a vibrant and fastpaced learning program that many of our tenants have embraced.”

t’s 3 p.m. on Friday at Sholom’s Roitenberg Assisted Living Residence and Live

2B Healthy® Senior Fitness instructor Bryce Beinke moves the chairs around in the sunny Wartnick Room, organizing hand-held stretching equipment by each chair. Soon enthusiastic participants begin to file in, all smiles and ready to work out.

Staying active means living a longer, healthier life and Sholom is keen about making sure every opportunity is given

Instructor Bryce Beinke smiles with Sylvia Levitov who stays active at 101 years old. old, with quarter-inch “gauge” holes in his ear lobes, long sleeves hiding tattoos and hailing from a family of Marines and bikers, but his enthusiasm and humor puts everyone at ease.

He knows what he’s doing, having trained athletes for the U. S. Special Olympics as well as working as an inhome trainer.

On this day, the men have been drawn away by other activities so all of the attendees are women in their 80s and 90s. But one spry 101-year-old named Sylvia Levitov is there to show them how it’s done. She never misses a class and the staff mentioned they had never seen her smile so much as when she’s working out with Bryce. When asked the secret of how she has made it to nearly 102, her reply is, “Exercise!

Exercise! Kicking! Moving! I’m not exaggerating. Put that in the paper!”

Bryce gets the ladies stretching and rolling their heads and shoulders back

to residents to live with more vitality and enjoyment.

With this focus on quality living, the Sholom Auxiliary agreed that this would be an excellent program to support and with money raised from their annual Food For Your Soul fundraiser, enabled Sholom to begin offering Live 2B Healthy® Senior Fitness classes since January 2013. Live 2B Healthy® Senior Fitness (L2BH) offers on-site fitness to many senior residences.

Working with residents of all shapes and ability levels, the L2BH Senior Fitness Team has witnessed miraculous social and physical benefits for elder care residents.

Instructor Bryce has been doing this since 2009. He’s an unlikely instructor for seniors, only 24 years

and forth. Next comes arm stretches using elastic exercise bands.

“3...4, keep pulling your arms wider. See if you can stretch them even wider. What number are we on? Nine?! I turn my back and you’re cheating!” Bryce teases. “Just for that you have to hold that position for the whole hour!” Everyone laughs.

The presence of photographer David Sherman has caught everyone by surprise and Renee HornbergGlassman pulls me aside to ask if I have any lipstick she can borrow. (“I want a picture for my kids!”) By the time she has applied it, the class has moved on to standing up and sitting down from their chairs. “Hey, Trouble!” Bryce points to Renee. “I want to see you standing up too!” She throws him a look, and then laughs.

Feeling good and looking good is important to this group. They’re

here to encourage each other in the battle to stay limber. Increasing strength in arms, knees and legs is the goal.

Bryce takes a minute to go mug for the camera with Sylvia and then quips, “Get back to work, Miss 101.” “ The program is wellrun. The instructor is trained to deal with this age group and work with different levels of ability.”

The women are smiling and energetic as Bryce hands them resistance tubes to place beneath their feet and pull with their arms.

“How many shall we do today, Irene?” Bryce asks a rosy-cheeked trooper wearing a bold, red-striped sweater.

“Five,” she replies.

Left: Renee Hornberg-Glassman has fun working with instructor, Bryce Beinke. Behind him are participants Helen Kirshner and Sylvia Levitov.

“20? Okay, we’ll do 20,” Bryce wisecracks and then adds, “Wait, I like five better.”

Irene Levin and her comrade, Doris Korsch move nimbly, stretching the bands to work their biceps. Estelle Gedan, in a green sweater and beige scarf, is encouraged and supported by her son, Joel and granddaughter Alicia, who have joined her today.

They are here enjoying one of their frequent visits with Estelle and pat her back enthusiastically as she goes through Bryce’s routine.

Working side-by-side with each and every resident, Live 2B Healthy® Senior Fitness helps improve balance, coordination, flexibility, muscularity and stamina. And it’s never too late to begin. Bryce tells of one woman who started exercising when she was 102.

After the class, I chat with Carol Lewin, a former anthropology professor at the University of Vermont who did her field work in Pakistan.

She moved to Minnesota to be near her daughter and has been living at Roitenberg for approximately fourteen months. Twelve of those fourteen have been spent exercising, and more recently, attending the L2BH class.

“The program is well-run,” she said. “The instructor is trained to deal with this age group and work with different levels of ability. He’s a good fit because he knows his audience.”

When asked how the program was working for her, she said, “I can move my legs a lot more easily. It’s a good fit for my mobility.”

Looking good. Feeling good. That’s what this exercise program is all about. Neglected limbs and muscles regain strength, energy is renewed, and self-esteem is boosted. It’s all part

"

of Sholom’s ongoing commitment to enhancing mind, body, and spirit in all we do.

Louise had increased balance by 905% and upper body strength by 428%. Good balance is extremely important as we age to prevent falls.

Most falls are due to balance issues.

Marion increased her cardiovascular strength by 140%.

A healthy heart means a longer life.

Doris increased her upper body strength by 324%. Strength is vital for independence.

Instructor Bryce encourages Mickey Rosen.

Doris Korsch and Irene Levin enjoy Bryce’s enthusiasm.

Carol Lewin displays good flexibility using resistance tubes.

Bryce demonstrates the resistance tubes.

Sylvia,even at 101, increased her lower body strength by 25%.

It’s never too late to benefit from exercise.

Marilyn & Mel Warren have been married for 63 years. together with their dog, Brandy, they now reside at Bentson Assisted Living on the Shaller Family Campus at Sholom East.

In the spirit of Sholom, we wanted to know more about this couple who have been married for so many years.

We sat down with them in their apartment and asked them to tell us their story.

10

O

ne day in 1949, a friend called up young Marilyn Fox, needing to “fix up this fella for Saturday night.” It was to be a blind date and Marilyn was reluctant. After her friend’s persistence, Marilyn finally conceded, “Okay, if you can’t find anybody by ten minutes to eight Saturday night, I’ll help you out.” Her friend couldn’t find anybody, so they arrived at the well-known Criterion restaurant in St. Paul, which featured a beautiful lobster tank from which diners could select their own crustaceans.

As Marilyn waited nervously with her friend, she inquired about when this “fella” would be coming. “Well, if you look at the door. He just walked in. His name is Mel Warren,” she said.

Marilyn turned her head and her jaw dropped.

“Oh, my G–d! Be still my heart!” she exclaimed. She was smitten immediately. “He was handsome, well-groomed, dressed beautifully, and here we are, sixty some years later.”

As for Melvin, he was smitten too.

“Right away, I knew she was the one. I was from St. Paul. She was from Minneapolis and all the guys went to Minneapolis to find their brides.”

They were married in a garden wedding on August 16, 1949. He, the handsome “older” man at 30, and she, a beautiful young lady of 22.

Today, they sit on a cozy blue sofa with a framed Howard Behrens painting on the wall behind them.

Their “absolutely-no-more-dogs” dog, Brandy, a poodle, nestles comfortably

on the end table beside the couch. Red when she was a puppy, her fur has now softened into a lovely apricot color.

Melvin, a WWII veteran was in the grocery business when he met Marilyn.

His generous parents had helped him get established and Marilyn, naturally good with numbers, was brought in to pay the bills and occasionally run the cash register. Their store, Warren’s Supermarket, was progressive and known for having two checkout counters, virtually unheard of in those times of traditional “mom and pop” grocery stores.

“One day,” Marilyn remembers, “I was working behind the meat counter serving a customer who wanted Limburger cheese—sliced. So I “borrowed” the meat cutter and sliced the cheese up nicely and sent the happy customer on her way. A little while later, Melvin comes behind the counter,

sniffing the air suspiciously and wants to know, ‘who sliced cheese on the meat slicer? ‘I did,’ I answered, ‘why?’

‘You don’t slice Limburger cheese on the meat slicer!’ Mel exclaims.”

Mel sent her back to a sudsy wash sink to clean the meat cutter. “I had to take it apart (lots of little parts), wash it, and put it all back together again. No one ever got Limburger sliced again!”

They continued working together as they raised their family and eventually bought a successful liquor store in St. Paul. Marilyn again kept the books and, according to Mel, kept tight purse strings. “She was very efficient and she could handle money well...too well!

She doesn’t give me any! She’d say, ‘What do you need it for?’”

“Oh, now, Melvin, that’s not my statement!” Marilyn protests.

Melvin continues, “She’d tell me, ‘you have everything you need right here.’ And I’d reply, ‘I’d feel better with a few bucks in my pocket!’ She’d say, ‘If you need it, you can ask me.’” Melvin silently mouths the words, “I never did...”

Laughter erupts.

Marilyn nudges him and scolds, 11

“Melvin! That’s not nice!” He grins broadly, obviously proud of her, and teases, “That’s what I’m telling you!”

Marilyn said, “I had five dollars a week to pay for the beauty shop and the newspaper. And he couldn’t believe I had money left over! So that’s when he entrusted me with the banking and the bills.”

“After the war,” Melvin recalls, “My mother got us together in the checkout of the grocery store and said, ‘The war’s over, you’re home now. what do you want to do?’”

“My mother said, ‘We will give you half of what the store earns because we don’t need it. We’re old.’

“Half was plenty. That was very generous of them.” Then, pointing at Marilyn, he mouths the words, “I gave it to her. She still has it.”

They are obviously a good team. They talk about their son, Richard, and daughter, Janie, and their grandchildren whom they adore. “They’re wonderful,” says Marilyn. “Spoil them when they’re little, love them all the time.”

“Melvin taught the kids how to work,” she continues. “That’s important.

We took them with us. Very early on,

12

“Through the years, I’ve fallen in love with him a couple times.”

—Marilyn Warren

we started them learning to sit nice, eat right. Times were different then. There was a Rainbow Cafe we used to go to for dinner. And when Richard was through eating, he had a lot of energy. So I’d tell him he could go hang out in front of the store. You can’t do that today. You’d have no kid!”

When we ask them what advice they would give to newly-married couples, Marilyn says, “Be honest. If you’re honest with somebody, you never have to back away or correct anything. You can’t remember a lie, but you can remember the truth.”

What sort of things do they like to do together?

“We like everything together,” says Marilyn. “He taught me how to fish and to hunt, he bought me a gun—a small shotgun—and we went hunting for pheasant.

We do everything together.”

“We had a house on the Missi­ ssippi river. We enjoyed the summers there. Many of our friends came to visit there—the Bentsons, the Perl­mans, and the Shallers.”

For at least fifty years, Marilyn has volunteered at Sholom making knishes. Mel volunteers too. They helped sell knishes at the State Fair.

“No one did it alone. We were

all together and we still are. There are about 14 or 15 of us downstairs on Wednesday mornings. It’s been a labor of love for many years.”

What was the best invention?

“The computer,” says Marilyn.

And the worst invention? Twitter and Facebook.

The secret of their long mar­­ riage?

Marilyn puts it this way: “Through the years, I’ve fallen in love with him a couple times.

You don’t stay that ‘wonderful’ love feeling.

Life interferes with that. There are things that come up and distractions. You have children and are concerned about them. You have illnesses and things that take away some of the pleasantness, but you find it again.”

“As the years go by, you’re more mature. And you never really know the person you’re married to. If they haven’t surprised you, you haven’t been married long enough.”

Brandy gets up and walks across their laps. She cuddles down between them on the couch and they both stroke her fur affectionately. “I love her,” Mel says of Brandy. It ap­pears the feeling is mutual.

We look through their wedding album that holds priceless black and white photos of their big day. Their beautifully illustrated ketubah, a decree of marriage, sits on the coffee table.

And they gush over pictures of their family whom they love unabashedly.

Our videographer, Tom Majewski, has just become a new father himself and says he’s struggling to get into a routine.

“Oh, there’s no routine after you have kids—until they leave home!”

Marilyn laughs.

Sholom Auxiliary

Created to enrich, enhance and bring comfort to Sholom residents and tenants through fundraising efforts.

The Auxiliary has provided many “extras” for Sholom residents and tenants through the years—including purchasing special equipment and offsetting the “in-house” beauty/barber shop fees.

Sales of Auxiliary-made “Delicious Knishes,” the Food for Show; Food on the Go cookbook and Special Service cards all directly benefit Sholom, and mark your calendars now for Thursday, June 20, 2013, when the Auxiliary will bring you the third-annual Food for Your Soul event which continues to be a resounding success every year!

Auxiliary specific endowments are another way to support the Auxiliary’s efforts. Endowments support specific programs like communication, others are there for where the need is greatest. To find out how you can create an Auxiliary endowment fund or to become a member, call (952) 939.1594.

The dual membership program of Sholom, together with the Auxiliary has been tremendously successful. Be sure to renew your membership for the 2012-13 year, or, if you aren’t already a member, you can join anytime! Join online at www.sholom.com or call (952) 939.1638.

Sholom Foundation

Ensuring Sholom programs, services and facilities for our elderly loved ones, ourselves, and generations to come . . .

The sole mission of Sholom Foundation is to raise sufficient endowment and annual funds to generate annual financial support for Sholom services and facilities, and to promote excellence in care to those served by Sholom.

Serving the fastest growing population—seniors over the age of 65—and ever-decreasing government reimbursements for long-term care, makes the need for a reliable source of funding for Sholom more important than ever, and even more challenging given today’s economy.

The Foundation’s fundraising efforts are concentrated on planned gifts—current and pledges of cash or stock, and estate gifts that name Sholom Foundation as a beneficiary in a will, life insurance policy, qualified retirement fund or trust, or property—all of which may establish named funds to support Sholom in perpetuity.

Gifts to the Sholom Foundation provide the crucial financial support necessary in serving the elderly community. To learn more about how you can make a difference with your gift to Sholom Foundation, call Executive Director, Joel Mandel at (952) 939.1593.
