Jewish tradition does not treat honoring older adults as optional. It frames this act as a moral and spiritual obligation rooted in the inherent dignity and sacredness of every older adult.
Seivah is a national initiative of Sacred Spaces dedicated to strengthening the capacity of Jewish organizations to prevent elder abuse, respond when it occurs, and build communities where older adults can age with dignity, autonomy, and safety.
Through consultation, education, practical resources, and collaboration, Seivah helps organizations build the knowledge, skills, and systems needed to create safer, more supportive environments for older adults. At the same time, Seivah is building a network of Jewish organizations committed to learning from one another, sharing promising practices, and advancing a coordinated approach to supporting older Jewish adults.
Together, we are working to uphold our Jewish values by fostering a Jewish community where older adults are valued and able to age with dignity, autonomy, and safety.
