Leaders who lead with heart inspire change. Susan knows what CJE means to older adults – and why dignity, care, and connection matter.
“For me, supporting CJE ensures older adults are never alone. I’ve seen firsthand how the care CJE provides – the meals and programs – make aging with dignity possible. Everyone deserves to age with respect – and CJE makes that possible every single day.”

Earlier this month, nearly 600 Jewish nonprofit professionals gathered in Toronto for the Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies (NJHSA) PowerNET Conference. Among them were President & CEO, Dan Fagin, and members of CJE SeniorLife’s Holocaust Community Services (HCS) team. The conference brings together social service organizations to share best practices, build connections, and address key challenges facing human service leaders.
In collaboration with JFS Edmonton, our HCS team presented “Transforming Services and Workforce Strategies for Holocaust Survivors’ Evolving Needs,” highlighting innovative programs supported by the Jewish Federations of North America's Center on Aging, Trauma, and Holocaust Survivor Care.
HCS Senior Director, Dr. Yonit Hoffman, and Survivor Services Director, Maya Gumirov, also contributed to conference planning and facilitation. Dr. Hoffman participated in the Poster Showcase with Dr. Jenni Frumer and delivered remarks honoring NJHSA Chief Program Officer Lisa-Lorraine Smith.
We’re grateful to NJHSA for bringing this community together and look forward to PowerNET 2027 in Florida!

What if your father left you the keys to one of history’s most defining moments? That’s the question Laurie Pasler confronted after inheriting her dad’s hidden World War II memorabilia from his service at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. An award-winning creative director and producer, Laurie spent a decade piecing together the story through original artifacts, documents, and archival research. This journey led to Courtroom 600, a pioneering curriculum that teaches WWII through the lens of Nuremberg’s irrefutable evidence—and offers a different angle for confronting antisemitism and hate.
