Seak Beach, CA, June 21 — On a recent spring evening, Southland seniors took a trip down memory lane as Chabad of Los Alamitos hosted an evening of classic black and white Yiddish cinema. The event gave the older audience a chance to enjoy some rarely seen classics and share an evening of kinship with fellow Jewish seniors. This Yiddish film festival is part of Chabad’s ongoing effort to embrace one of California’s most valuable natural resources: senior citizens.
