16 Over 61 2021

Jewish tradition is filled with stories of individuals who take transformative journeys late in their lives. Moses, Abraham, Sarah, Miriam, and Naomi are just a few who make invaluable contributions at mature ages. Instead of diminishing, their relevance to their communities intensifies as they age.

The lessons we can learn from today’s older adults are no less significant.

It was this inspiration that the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan Wechsler Center for Modern Aging partnered with the Forward to present the “16 Over 61 Awards.”
