Bringing Spiritual Support and Healing to Seniors in Our Community

There is increasing scientific evidence that music has emotional, psychological and even physical benefits for isolated seniors, whether still living independently or in a facility. Alexander JFS is pleased to add this service to assure seniors they are not forgotten by the Houston Jewish Community.

The Music and Spirit Program Provides:
  • Personalized musical outreach to seniors
  • Home Visits
  • Vocal and violin performances
  • Religious services

Music for Everyone

Featuring Cantor Vadim Tunitsky and Pianist Yanina Didyk
