Active Older Adults

Memory Cafe

A memory café is a model of social programming that provides an inviting place for people with forgetfulness or other changes in their thinking – and their family/friends!

At Temple Emanuel, our monthly Memory Café is inspired by Jewish themes of the season while also being welcoming to all. Each month, we start with conversation starters and refreshments, followed by an interactive program.

There is no cost to attend — but registration is required! Please come on to this program with your spouse or caregiver. This series is open to Temple Emanuel members as well as the greater community.

Memory Café is proudly co-presented by Temple Emanuel Senior Fund and the Deanna and Sidney Wolk Center for Memory Health at Hebrew SeniorLife
