Village Shalom will hold an open house celebration for its 25th anniversary at its current location, the Helzberg Campus. Community members are invited to the gathering on Sept. 7 from 3 to 6 p.m.
Shirley and Barnett Helzberg, Jr., whose leadership and funding helped bring the campus to life, will be celebrated as honorary chairs. The afternoon will include live music, gallery talks, legacy family exhibits, resident engagement stations, food, drink and a video tribute that reflects on the past while looking toward the future of Jewish senior care. The event is free, but for security and spacing, RSVP is required.
Village Shalom’s anniversary celebrations, which honors both 25 years on the Helzberg Campus and more than 100 years of Village Shalom’s mission to care for elders and enrich Jewish life, have been multifaceted. Celebrations began with the annual Father’s Day Run and Anniversary Block Party, where 409 participants ran to benefit memory support.
On June 20, the anniversary of Village Shalom’s opening day, team members wore commemorative t-shirts and ate scoops of Cherry Jubilee Surprise, a limited-edition ice cream flavor created by Summersalt Ice Cream especially for Village Shalom. All residents were offered the ice cream during dinner, adding a sweet touch to the milestone.
The festivities to honor 25 years on the Helzberg Campus will culminate with the open house. Shirley and Barnett Helzberg, Jr. will be joined with many other celebration committee families who have helped shape Village Shalom’s story.
