Senior programming  ranges from health and fitness group and personal classes to a wide variety of educational, artistic, and recreational opportunities. Attendance has steadily grown in the last year from paper to lace tablecloths and from an average of 15 people to a minimum of 50 for a hot, kosher lunch for $3.00 every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. A wide variety of fun and educational programs also surround these meals. Exciting field trips and special events also enhance the senior experience at the Sabes JCC.
