Sholom Appreciates Dedicated Community Champions

s COVID-19 was setting in and the Twin Cities’ Jewish Community was coming to grips with the pandemic’s severe financial and emotional toll, four individuals stepped forward to lend a hand. Kris and John MacDonald became the Chairs of the Kadima Campaign, and with Cindi & Harold Goldfine, Kadima Vice-Chairs, steer a communitywide collaborative effort of the Minneapolis Jewish Federation to help 24 local Jewish agencies recover from the devastating effects of COVID-19 and enhance community security. All four remarked, “When we learned that Kadima’s focus included the partnership of so many organizations, the determination to help the Kris and John MacDonald community survive and thrive through this crisis, and bolster our collective safety, we were thrilled to take part in this transformational effort. We were eager to help the Campaign be successful.”

Sholom, with deepest appreciation for Kadima, is a recipient of significant life-saving funds. Kris and John remarked, “We are proud that every dollar raised through Kadima is a dollar toward recovery. Sholom has been directly in the eye of the COVID-19 storm. We are gratified that funds were available for Sholom when they were needed most.” Cindi and continued on page 3

Sholom Offers its Deepest Thanks to the St. Paul Jewish Federation

ith Sholom residents and staff now vaccinated, there is light at the end of the tunnel. However, the exponential COVID-19 related costs remain. To help ease this burden, the community has generously responded, and Sholom is extremely appreciative. The St. Paul Jewish Federation is engaged in an on-going fundraising effort to help community agencies mitigate the financial losses of the pandemic. Dr. Jimmy Levine, Yad B’Yad Campaign Chair, and Ted Flaum, C.E.O. of the St. Paul Jewish Federation recently announced a major gift of $135,000 from the Campaign to Sholom. Mr. Flaum said, “We are cognizant of the important role that Sholom plays in our community – caring for the most vulnerable. We are proud to support this monumental responsibility.”

You Can Make a Difference in Sholom’s Future – it’s Simple to do!

xcitement is in the air at Sholom’s Knollwood Place Apartments. Tenants are thrilled to enjoy the beautifully appointed activity spaces in the newly renovated first floor as programs slowly re-open. The generous contributors to Sholom’s Care Comes First Capital Campaign made this possible and these heartfelt efforts are reflected in the eyes of every tenant. Looking forward, Sholom has tremendously important projects on the drawing board for 2021, some of which are: • Wrapping up the first floor renovations at Knollwood Place Apartments is a top priority. The kitchen remodeling project is the remaining major undertaking at Knollwood and is targeted for completion in late spring.

• A major facelift is planned for Sholom Home West. The first floor and many infrastructure systems will be updated and will offer beautiful, warm, inviting surroundings. The upgrades will help provide optimum resident services, state-of-the art rehabilitation modules, and will be designed to help ensure efficiencies in energy usage and staff deployment. Extensive renovations are planned for the lobbies, auditorium, kitchen, rehabilitation center, elevator, roof, HVAC and plumbing systems.

Walls are going up as the construction moves forward in the kitchen remodeling project at Knollwood Place Apartments.

• At Roitenberg Famly Assisted Living Residence, the main lobby is slated to be updated. A second focus is The Hodroff Pavilion for Memory Care where worn flooring will be replaced with new carpeting and laminates. Extensive evidenced-based research guided the selection of color, design, and materials for those living with cognitive issues.

Community Champions continued from page 1 Harold added, “This campaign prioritizes the community’s needs at this difficult time. Kadima, with focus and determination, answered Sholom’s request for crucial assistance.” Kris and John are fascinating charismatic individuals and generously share their enthusiasm with the entire community. They have volunteered throughout the Jewish and general communities. Kris has twice chaired the Federation’s annual campaign, exemplifying her passion to support social and human service organizations. John noted his skills are more ‘nuts and bolts’ in the finance field. John continues to serve as a member of Sholom’s Budget and Finance Committee, and was quite instrumental in planning for the Shaller Family Sholom East campus with his background in health care financing.

he MacDonalds contributed a major leadership gift to Sholom’s Capital Campaign affirming, “We understand the importance of supporting Sholom. This vital organization is an integral part of our community, where individuals turn when they require Sholom’s services. We want Sholom to flourish and be available in perpetuity.” The Goldfine’s are likewise avid community volunteers and their affiliation with Sholom is longstanding. They are current members of the Care Comes First Capital Campaign Cabinet and also made a substantial contribution to the Capital

Campaign. With an eye to tomorrow, the endowment fund which they established will help secure Sholom’s future. Cindi & Harold Goldfine

Barbara Klick, Sholom’s CEO, stated, “What a wonderful partnership we have with the Minneapolis Jewish Federation! Kris & John, Cindi & Harold, Jim Cohen, Todd Leonard, and so many others understood our plight and the Kadima campaign generously assisted Sholom during some of our darkest days. We are thankful for their spirit and their heart.”

Both the MacDonald’s and Goldfine’s commented, “In addition to raising funds, serving as Board officers and members, and helping the community to prepare for the future, we have a wonderful time meeting and working with tremendous people. That truly is a joy!” They continued, “We are also proud that our values – giving back, community, making the world a better place, and of course, family – have been passed on to our next generation. We are filled with pride watching our adult children, each making an impact of their own and each in his and her own way.”

Sholom Offers its Deepest Thanks continued from page 1 The response of the St. Paul Community has been tremendous, and the Yad B’Yad Campaign continues to meet additional community needs. Dr. Levine, noted, “100% of money raised goes directly to the agencies; nothing is retained by the Federation. Every dollar is important.” Sholom is very grateful for every individual who made this gift possible and thankful for the St. Paul Jewish Federation and the committee responsible for prioritizing needs. This group includes Sharon Benmaman, Jimmy Levine, Rick Linsk, Mitch Rubenstein, Lynne Sanders, and Deb Weiss. In addition to this allocation, the St. Paul Jewish Federation granted Sholom $20,000 in Spring, 2020, for emergency COVID-19 relief, and provided Sholom with 1,000 face shields (manufactured in Israel) when they had become a rare commodity in the U.S.

Sholom and the St. Paul Jewish Federation have long maintained an important partnership. Barbara Klick, Sholom’s CEO stated, “Our sincere thanks for this gift which will assist Sholom in so many ways. Words don’t begin to express our gratitude for support like this.” Deb Weiss, a member of the Sholom Foundation Board and Chairperson of its Investment Committee remarked, “I’m delighted to be part of Yad B’Yad and to know this effort is making an important difference in the health and safety of our community members and care givers. I’m also happy to be able to use my professional skills to support Sholom and the Sholom Foundation in growing its endowment. The motto of this campaign is very true: ‘We are Stronger Together’.” For more information please contact Joel Mandel, jmandel@sholom.com, 952.939.1593.

A Message to Sholom’s Donors and Friends from Grateful Residents and Staff

odah Rabah – Thank You to all who responded, beyond all expectations, to help Sholom during the pandemic. COVID-19 brought financial and human costs never imagined, but the community was there to support Sholom’s vulnerable seniors and our staff who serve them. Today, as Sholom slowly moves into a new reality, our need for you, the community, remains. Jewish tradition emphasizes the value of tzedakah – the act of charity. When the outlook seemed bleakest, our community translated ethical teachings into action and demonstrated unflinching support for Masked for Purim, residents all say Sholom. Help “Thank You” to the community. arrived at the front door – cards, laptops, iPads, PPE, snacks for staff, flowers for residents, and very generous financial support. More than 600 individuals and businesses responded to the call for help, with many contributing two and three times. Grants were awarded from community and family foundations. Additionally, the Minneapolis Jewish Federation Kadima Campaign and the St. Paul Jewish Federation Yad B’Yad Campaign have each provided magnanimous support. Deepest thanks go to board members, volunteers, and dedicated supporters.

Despite the pandemic, professional, expert, and compassionate care seamlessly continued with staff exceeding job duties to meet arising needs. Sholom is proud of its standing as a community resource and as an expert on the care of the elderly. Our supportive community reinforces Sholom’s integral role. Pledges to Sholom’s Care Comes First Capital Campaign, over 350 to date, continue to arrive, signifying a deep understanding of the need to provide for our elders.

More than 250 individuals were moved to contribute to Sholom for the first time in 2020.

Sholom is poised to launch new initiatives to ensure our residents receive the highest quality of care (see page 9). The Capital Campaign will continue to fund much needed repairs and upgrades (see page 2). These endeavors will be possible with your ongoing support and allegiance.

Families such as Ruth Hartman’s, and friends too, showed their care in many ways.

Knollwood tenants are enjoying physically distanced bingo in the refurbished Town Hall.

The swell of support for Sholom has been life-sustaining.

Looking Ahead at Long-Term Care and Senior Housing

ayle Kvenvold, President of the senior services organization, Leading Age Minnesota and Ann Thole, Sholom’s Chief Operating Office, shared their thoughts, looking forward, about long-term care, congregate living and other senior housing programs.

Maximizing technology has tremendous benefits for seniors and senior care.

Residents depend upon technology for face to face communication.

Both Ann and Gayle concur, “Despite the situation with COVID-19 in senior care settings, long-term care and senior housing programs will always be needed.”

5 key issues facing the senior care continuum:

Residents benefit greatly from Virtual Music Therapy.

Strengthening infection control measures • Prevention and control of infections are paramount, especially to combat COVID-19. Maximizing technology for seniors and senior care • With sufficient bandwidth and infrastructure, exploring new applications for technology, such as tele-health, have the potential to improve care and provide greater resident satisfaction. iPads and high-tech communication devices help combat social isolation and encourage engagement. An in-house closed circuit television channel enables safe participation. Seniors in the community can benefit from remote health monitoring, under the auspices of Sholom. While virtual connections cannot entirely replace in-person contact, new applications of technology are part of our future. Investing in infrastructure and building design • Gayle remarked, “Investments in infrastructure will increase, creating designs for senior care buildings that support clinical needs and provide a sense of being home. We envision more private rooms with full bathrooms and new designs for shared spaces.” Reimagining resident programming and engagement • Ann noted, “COVID-19 obliged staff to devise alternate methods for programming and engaging residents. Individualized and small group activities, social distancing and remote viewing are all options going forward. We must continue to reimagine life enrichment activities and resident participation with innovation and creativity to comply with a new reality.”

Exploring new funding models for senior care • Ann and Gayle noted, “Ensuring funding will be challenging as costs increase and there is always strong competition for taxpayer dollars and investments. New funding models need to be explored which control costs but reward good health outcomes. Gayle summarized, “Collectively, we strive to benefit each resident, achieving optimum outcomes in health and wellness, within an efficient social service and healthcare delivery system, across time and setting; in essence – we seek to deliver the right care, at the right time, in the right place through a well-integrated system of providers.” Senior care faces many obstacles yet the future remains strong with opportunities for growth and development. Meeting the wide array of challenges will depend upon adequate funding. You can help offset the gap between diminishing government reimbursements and the true cost of care provided at Sholom. We invite you to become a Bed & Breakfast Backer, and through your recurring monthly donation, you will impact Sholom’s residents every day.

Making a Gift to Sholom Foundation in 2021? Consider This!

he Sholom Foundation continues to move forward with its important work. Many of our friends are looking forward to the future when they can again spend time together with friends and loved ones. Many are also thinking about ways to support Sholom and all it provides for 1,000 seniors every day. We hope this includes you. Here are a few things you may wish to consider: 1. The CARES Act passed in 2020 included several charitable tax provisions to encourage giving. In response to the current situation, Congress extended some of the COVID-19 relief tax changes into 2021: • A deduction for charitable donors who do not itemize when filing their tax returns. If you do not itemize but make a cash gift to charity, you will be allowed to take a special tax deduction, up to $300 ($600 for joint filers), to reduce your tax liability.

• An increase in the deduction limit up to 100% of a donor's annual income for cash gifts (previously the deduction was capped at 60% of annual income). If you make a gift you will be able to deduct more this year. 2. If you have a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), you can make a gift from your DAF to support our work without affecting your personal financial security. 3. There are tax advantages for making gifts of appreciated assets. 4. Have you considered naming the Sholom Foundation as one of the beneficiaries in your estate plan?

Sholom is Eager to Launch a New Quality of Care Initiative.

holom has a tremendous dedicated work force. There is no better way to describe this dedication than to recognize the staff, who despite fears about COVID-19 during the past year, came to work every day and provided excellent professional care. In addition to performing their regular duties, staff stretched to meet the needs of Sholom’s seniors when friends and loved ones could not visit.

A nurse ready to begin her day with PPE.

Building upon the invaluable commitment of the workforce and desirous of positive resident outcomes, Sholom is embarking on a Quality of Care Initiative, viewed through the lens of Sholom’s staff. With the understanding that fulfilled and satisfied workers will provide outstanding resident care, the initiative will focus on methods of retaining trusted long-term employees.

Investing in Sholom’s culture and staff will yield wonderful outcomes and offers more benefits than a singular focus on recruiting and training new staff. Sholom is working to connect staff engagement, service, quality care, and accountability. Promoting job retention while reducing job turnover in the senior/long-term care industry has long been an issue, which Sholom is poised to address. Under consideration: 1. Reinstatement of Sholom’s match to the employee 403(b) retirement plan. 2. Review and adjust the wage scale to be competitive in the field and/or offer periodic stay-bonuses. 3. Provide incentives to maintain long-term employment at Sholom including Tuition Assistance, College/Certificate Loan forgiveness.

4. Offer higher care acuity and specialties within the Sholom continuum to provide staff with professional growth opportunities and improved outcomes for residents. 5. Engage a consultant to evaluate the culture of our organization and bring about change as necessary to provide a safe, enjoyable, sought after workplace.

Dedicated staff members are preparing for Vaccination Day.

Jim McDonald, Sholom’s Specialist in Learning and Development, said, “Our residents benefit from the experience and expertise of staff who have spent years on the job. We would hate to lose these caregivers; this proposal is so valuable.”

Building upon the lessons gleaned during the pandemic, Sholom is looking forward to launching this Quality of Care Initiative with its vision of continued improvement for its deserving residents. For more information and to contribute to this Initiative, please contact Jeffrey Sherman, jsherman@sholom.com, 952.939.1594.

Your Will Offers Peace of Mind While Creating a Legacy at the Sholom Foundation. A gift to the Sholom Foundation may take many forms — cash, appreciated assets, a life insurance policy, an IRA distribution, and often, through a bequest named in a will. An attorney can assist you in assembling your wishes into a document which determines how your assets will be distributed after your death. While no one likes to think about this, having a will is a comfort to your heirs as it provides direction, guidance, and it can offer you peace of mind. Here are a few considerations:

• What do I want to accomplish with my bequest? • Have I included the people and organizations important to me in my will? • How much do I want to leave to a charitable organization? • Are there tax and other considerations to contemplate? • What do I want to contribute today and what do I want to leave after I am gone? • Have I included the Sholom Foundation in my estate plans? We encourage you to inform us about your bequest plans for Sholom. We want to include you in the Sholom Foundation Heritage Society as a legacy donor and we desire to help ensure we can honor any restrictions you have placed in your bequest.

ys Something Happening!

Shaller Family Sholom East Campus

“I want to sing another song for Zeyde!” exclaimed Chick’s great-grandchildren while visiting through FaceTime.

This Individualized project focuses on building and maintaining fine motor skills.

“I’m taking a ski trip to the Alps and I don’t need a coat and hat!”

The Walker Art Center on-line virtual art program keeps minds and hands occupied and challenged.

Residents thoroughly enjoy their individualized playlists made possible by the Music & Memory Program.

Robotic cats, and dogs too, offer realistic companionship and look like the real thing. “Food and water are not required.”

“Will you be my Valentine? I will be yours!”

Colorful Art in Demand at Sholom Bright cheerful surroundings are important for Sholom’s residents and colorful artwork can make a resident room glow and feel joyful. Jane Lifson, one of Sholom’s wonderful volunteers, is spearheading a project to add beautiful artwork to resident spaces. We are looking for donations of painted artwork or photographs which are lively and full of color. The artwork must be framed, ready to hang covered with glass or plexi-glass. Artist submitted copies are acceptable. Please no nudes, religious art, or black and white photos or art. Landscapes, faces, stills, abstracts will all be considered. If you have colorful artwork which you would like to donate and you think meets these criteria, please email a picture of the artwork to Jane at: jane@lifson.org and include your contact information, or call her at 763.300.8303. Jane is eager to talk with you and learn about your artwork. Thanks very much!

Barry Leafman is feeling very happy! He came to the Transitional Care Unit at Sholom Home West in late Fall 2020. His strength returned following an illness but memory issues landed him in long-term care. With excellent caregiving at Sholom Home West, Sholom’s Rehabilitation Therapies, and time to heal, Barry slowly recovered and today he is making plans to move Barry Leafman back to the community. “I am so happy with the care and attention I’ve received at Sholom. At first I didn’t think I’d ever get better but I sure have. My thanks to all who helped me at Sholom.”

“We are very grateful to Sholom for so many things. We appreciate the skill and support of Sholom’s different social workers. Thank you to the Home Care nurses at Knollwood Place Apartments who are patient, kind, and helpful. And finally, our thanks to Barbara Klick, CEO, and the management staff at Knollwood for providing ongoing informative communication, and maintaining the building in such a wonderful way, especially during these challenging times and with so many things happening simultaneously.”

-Barry Leafman

-With appreciation, Naomi Munzner, daughter of Ari Munzner, resident at Knollwood Place Apartments.

“My dad hadn't voted since the 1980 presidential election. However, he felt strongly about voting in November 2020, but didn't know how he could cast his ballot. He didn't know how to properly fill out the ballot and lacked the means to leave Sholom to visit a polling location. Thankfully, I eventually asked Crystal, one of Sholom’s social workers, who had great news: Sholom would help him vote! On the appointed date, October 22, a therapist from Sholom's Therapeutic Recreation Team visited his room and helped my dad complete his ballot and then made sure the ballot was on its way to be counted.” “I'm very grateful to Sholom for helping my dad. This election was important enough for him to come out of his 40-year hiatus. Sholom recognized the importance of my dad's wishes and enabled him the ability to carry out his civic duty and, along with it, a great sense of empowerment.” -This note was sent with the deepest thanks to Sholom’s staff.

You are Never Too Young to be a Sholom Donor! Madeline Walzer, daughter of Kim and Matt Walzer, is a second grader at HMJDS in Minneapolis where visits to Sholom are part of the school’s program. Tzedakah (charity) is encouraged at the Walzer home with a portion of every allowance going into a tzedakah box. Recently her parents asked Madeline if she wanted to make a donation and would she like to send it to multiple places? Without hesitation, she answered, “I want to donate all my tzedakah to Sholom.”

Rena Freidson-King is pictured celebrating her 7th birthday with her great grandmother, Shirley Jacobson, a resident of the Rotienberg Assisted Living Residence. This year when celebrating her 8th birthday, Rena said, “I have enough things.” Instead of receiving gifts at her virtual birthday party, Rena asked her friends to make a donation to Sholom, “Where my Mama Shirley lives.”

Thank you to these young donors and to their families for imparting the lesson of tzedakah! For more information on Sholom’s programs, and ways to donate, please contact Jeffrey Sherman, jsherman@sholom.com, 952.939.1594.
