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

Concerts

Featuring Cantor Vadim Tunitsky and Pianist Yanina Didyk

Through the beautiful music of Cantor Vadim Tunitsky, the Music and Spirit Program adds personalized musical outreach to seniors in 6 assisted living facilities and nursing homes as well as to homebound seniors or those recovering from illness.

Through the Cantor's personal visits, performances accompanied by the talented pianist Yanina Didyk, and one-one-one conversations, The Music and Spirit Program helps seniors who are not otherwise receiving communal services.
