A Wide Variety of Delicious Meals

Nutrition meets nostalgia

As with every aspect of The Saul & Claribel Simkin Centre, Jewish tradition plays an integral role in the planning and preparation of meals for the facility’s 200 residents.   Food plays a vital role in our lives, serving as a bridge across time and history, connecting generations.  Traditional Jewish cuisine offers more than sustenance; it evokes memories and a sense of warmth for our residents.  Jewish philosophy and law state that what we eat is not only nourishment for the body, but also for the soul.  Adhering to kosher principles reinforces a sense of Jewish identity, connecting individuals with their faith, community, and history.

Our goal is to make meal times a healthy experience for body and spirit, and a time of meaningful social interaction.
