Chief Executive Officer
Menorah Park’s mission is to assure maximum independence and dignity offering a broad range of the highest quality of health, residential and community services. Menorah Park is committed to maintaining Jewish values and traditions. All are welcome, invited, and celebrated at Menorah Park.
We are a proud member of the Association of Jewish Aging Services.
For over 112 years, Menorah Park has been committed to enriching the quality of life for older adults throughout Central New York.
Through our continuum of care, we offer a broad range of high-quality, affordable health, housing, and community services and programs, providing a more comprehensive, cohesive, and holistic approach to healthy aging.
Our 36-acre campus is home to our independent senior living, assisted living, skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation facilities. Menorah Park’s Homecare, adult day medical program, and Syracuse Jewish Family Service, enable us to extend our reach into the community where we support older adults and their families through the aging journey.
Over 112 years ago, an elderly Jewish man was abandoned in the basement of a local synagogue. Jewish community leadership, under the guidance of Reverend Moses J. Braude, realized the need to protect their elderly. Today Menorah Park is their legacy. Since 1912, their vision has been cultivated and has grown to include one of the most comprehensive senior care facilities in Central New York, providing high-quality care
