Healthy Bones and Joints
Being active is one of the best ways to keep your bones and
joints working well. Where aerobic exercise gets your heart pump-
ing, weight-bearing exercise such as walking, climbing stairs and
even dancing helps ensure bone and joint health.
Our bodies are constantly working hard to build new bone
while replacing the old; this process is improved when moder-
ate exercise and smart food choices are involved. Eating right
for bone health often comes down to two nutrients: calcium
and vitamin D.
Join your neighborhood experts on the second Wednesday
of each month for these health-minded talks, which are
held at several UH locations. Our next Health Matters talk
on November 9 is "Healthy Bones and Joints." Whether you
are young and still developing bone structure or mature and
trying to maintain its integrity, learning how to help keep your
skeletal system strong is essential.

Volunteers Honored
Menorah Park is grateful for its volunteers who do so much, from
friendly visiting to dishing up delicious breakfasts, lunches and
snacks at Pearl's Place. A volunteer dinner, funded by the Sylvia Wald
Volunteer Appreciation Fund, was recently held at which the follow-
ing individuals were recognized:
Faye Diamond · 2016 Gertrude Himmel, Volunteer of the Year
"Volunteering is in my blood," Faye expressed. During her childhood,
she remembers making friendly visits in her neighborhood with her
Bubbe and Zeyde, when she fi rst learned the importance of volunteer-
ing. A 15-year resident at the R.H. Myers Apartments, she was dedicat-
ed to helping wherever she was needed. Faye is often seen wearing
her Yacov Daniels baseball cap behind the Pearl's Place counter. She
also helps set up and serve at Menorah Park's Oneg Shabbat every Sat-
urday, assists residents at the Rosh Hashanah and Passover banquets,
and provides fresh fl owers for the bima. She has also donated minia-
ture shadow boxes that she and her late husband created.
"I don't do it for the accolades. I thoroughly enjoy what I do," Faye
explained. "My mother lived at Menorah Park and I appreciate all that
was done for her. This is my opportunity to give back."
Faye was surprised by this honor and said, "It was so touching that the
Himmel family was in attendance when I was presented with this award."
Dalia Wilkoff · Sandra Hertz Memorial Junior Volunteer Award
Dalia Wilkoff began volunteering when she was 13, working in every-
thing from maintenance to daycare and home health to Pearl's Place. Now
a senior at Fuchs Mizrachi School, she is considering a role in activities and
a possible career path because of the wonderful interaction she has had
with residents and their appreciation of her creative expertise.
Dalia's volunteerism extends beyond Menorah Park. She has partic-
ipated in Girls on the Run, a program to help young girls learn about
self-esteem and a healthy lifestyle; Habitat for Humanity, pet shelters, and
a variety of other opportunities she encountered when on NCSY's Give
West, a summer program of vol-
unteerism and fun for teenage
girls on the West Coast. Dalia
plans to attend Amit's seminary
in Jerusalem where she will
learn and work with children in
a foster home. Dalia received a
$1,000 scholarship.
