SUMMARY:The Edith Sulzberg Memorial Intergenerational Program Sukkot Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Make a new friend\, share a meal\, and build meaningful connections across generations!  \n\n\n\nSign up is required. Email Lexi Trifon at alexis.trifon@tufts.edu to sign up! \n\n\n\nThe Edith Sulzberg Memorial Intergenerational Program brings Tufts students together with residents of Cabot Park Village for conversation\, community\, and Jewish celebration. This event will take place in the Tufts Hillel Sukkah. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nA partnership between Tufts Hillel and Cabot Park Village \n\n\n\nWhat started as a weekly Challah for Hunger delivery turned into something much deeper. \n\n\n\nEdith Sulzberg\, mother of Tufts Hillel’s Director of Operations and Finance Marilyn Goldman\, was a fierce supporter of Jewish life\, young people\, and her daughter’s work. Each Thursday\, students would send challah—and handwritten notes—to residents at Cabot Park Village\, including Edith. But Edith wanted more than a taste of Shabbat. She wanted to meet the students behind the notes\, to see where Marilyn worked\, and to feel the energy of Tufts Hillel for herself. \n\n\n\nWith the help of Tufts Student Eli Fraiman and Cabot Park Village’s Executive director Todd Raymond\, Edith made it to Hillel. That visit sparked a tradition: shared meals\, thoughtful conversations\, and real friendships between Tufts students and Cabot Park Village residents. \n\n\n\nToday\, in Edith’s memory\, this intergenerational program brings students and seniors together for festive lunches\, Shabbat dinners\, and meaningful connection. It’s a space to eat\, laugh\, and build relationships across generations—with your very own Bubbes and Zaydes.
