Suburban Thursday Afternoon Retirees, better known as STAR, meets every Thursday from 1-3 pm, except on Jewish and national holidays. This vibrant group includes attendees from West Suburban Temple and Oak Park Temple, as well as the broader community. We are planning for February meetings to be available both in person at West Suburban Temple Har Zion and via zoom. Please join us in person if you can!
STAR, a joint endeavor of both Temples, offers a place for candid discussions on a variety of topics as well as an opportunity to socialize and to support each other. Recent presenters have included Dr. Max Fitzgerald of Rush Oak Park on preventing falls, Oak Park Temple member Gordon Hellwig on his experiences as a foreign service officer with the US State Department, STAR members DeeDee and Maury Mufson on their life in southern West Virginia, and Marla Goldberg, the Community Outreach Liaison of the Council for Jewish Elderly (CJE).
STAR has longterm partnerships with Rush Oak Park Hospital, Dominican and Concordia Universities, Brookdale, Oak Park and River Forest Townships, Arbor West Neighbors, Jewish Child and Family Services and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
In February, STAR will meet as follows:
Thursday, February 6th - A chance to schmooze and perhaps a special guest or movie
Thursday, February 13th - Our speaker will be Ben Bernstein, the Community Outreach Manager for Senior Living Specialists
Thursday, February 20th - Our speaker will be Sean O'Connor, Program Manager for NAMI Metro Suburban
Thursday, February 27th - Our presenters will be Mr. Nisan Chavkin, Executive Director of The Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago, and the Reverend Stanley L. Davis, Jr., Executive Director Emeritus
