What Is KAVOD?

 

In Hebrew, the word KAVOD means to honor or respect. It is the philosophy of Jewish Family Services (JFS) that there is no one more worthy of our honor or respect than the Holocaust Survivors who live among us.

 

Since launching the KAVOD initiative in 2016, JFS staff have identified and assisted over 100 Holocaust Survivors in our community!

 

 

"I felt the loneliness very sharply, and this organization came to the rescue, KAVOD, which helps people who survived the war, who have irreparable wounds in their heart, who really need human connection, 
especially at this age."

 

Social Services Offered To Holocaust Survivors:

 

•  Case Management      •  Mental Health Support     •  Transportation     •  Legal Aid     •  Translation Services     
•  Homemaker Services     
•  Home Modifications     •  Emergency Support
