"It's like USY For the Over 62 Set"
Hazak is the
Conservative Movement's organization for mature Jews seeking camaraderie,
social interaction, intellectual stimulation, religious experience and, most
of all, FUN! !!
Twice
the CBE Hazak Chapter has won the USCJ Gold award for programming, and we
anticipate that this year's programs will be the best ever.
The
name Hazak means "Strong," and is also made up of the first Hebrew letters
of the words:
H ochmah:
Wisdom
Ziknah:
Maturity
Kadima:
Looking Ahead
Our monthly Hazak meetings
take place the third Tuesday of each month, 1-3 PM at Congregation Beth Emeth.
Meetings are a time to socialize, enjoy light refreshments together and
often listen to a guest speaker on a topic of interest to seniors. Generally
the meeting starts at 1 PM with the speaker scheduled for 1:30. We also have
holiday celebrations, theater trips and more!

FROM
GENERATION TO GENERATION
L’dor vador—from generation to generation—
I pass to you
Not the giddy joy of success,
But the lump in the throat the signals
The wisdom to speak softly in a fragile world.
Through these finger tips
Pass sensual gifts—
The feel of sand between the toes,
The eye that captures
The flight of the gull at sunset,
Take them, child of my child—
The ability to grow inside the mind,
To change, to forgive, to love.
Take them,
And when you grow old,
Bequeath them l’dor vador,
For these are the things that remain worthwhile,
That make life worth living.
