My
Emigration It's well known that it is very hard to immigrate, particularly for elderly. At the time of immigration they have to change the country, the culture, the habits and friends. And the most important is the language. It means to change the whole life. This process is easier when we have such a sure friend and helper like Jewish Family Service of Greater Hartford. Particularly the process of assimilation would proceed more painfully without Jewish Family Service. Maybe, it wouldn't be possible at all. The first office where the new Jewish immigrants come in the new country is Jewish Family Service. Before they come, Jewish Family Service gives to the relatives furniture and all what is necessary for life. During the first four months Jewish Family Service completely supports the families with monthly checks from the Jewish Federation and services from Jewish Family Service. How important and nice that Jewish Family Service organizes English classes and special classes for citizenship for the elderly at the Beth Israel Synagogue for free. For young people it means that they have the possibility to study English. Jewish Family Service helps them to make the resume and trains them for interviews. Then Jewish Family Service gives addresses for the vacancies they know and helps them to get work. Personally to my family, Jewish Family Service helped straight away. The office made an appointment with the doctor for my husband in two weeks after we arrived instead of the usual four to five weeks. We didn't even have our Medicaid cards, but Jewish Family Service guaranteed the payment and the doctors saved my husband's life with a very serious heart operation. Jewish Family Service assigns volunteers to New American families. The volunteers are very helpful. My son's family had a family of volunteers that became the best friends. I can't forget how pleasant it was when the volunteers from Jewish Family Service brought a pram for my daughter's little boy and a worker of Jewish Family Service brought a lot of toys for the little one. On the Jewish holiday, Passover, Jewish Family Service congratulates the elderly always and brings gifts to our homes. It is very important for us their warm congratulations in their letters. We can get an answer on any question and get any advise at the office of Jewish Family Service at any time. I express my deep heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Jewish Family Service who helped and helps a lot the Jewish refugees to adapt in this hospitable, great country of the United States of America. Let God bless all the staff of Jewish Family Service for their hard and noble job. by
