History
One hundred years ago, an elderly Jewish man was left alone in the basement of a local Synagogue. Reverend Braude and the Jewish population of Syracuse realized a need to protect their elderly. Today Menorah Park is their legacy. Since 1912, their vision has been cultivated and has grown to include the most comprehensive senior care facility in Central New York.
1912 - A 17 room house was purchased for $17,000 on Irving Avenue. Backers for this project included the Society of Hochnoses Orchim (Welcoming Guests) and the Society of Linas Hatzedeck (the Friendly Inn). Together with Reverend Braude and Women's Auxiliary furnished the large home and arranged for around the clock caregivers. Creating the foundation for what would become known as The Jewish Home for the Aged.
1925 - The Home moved from Irving Avenue to its current location on East Genesee Street.
1929- A large addition was added onto the property to meet the increasing need.
1930 - Additional property was purchased alongside the existing property line.
1935 - A second addition was completed.
1959 - Major renovations and reconstruction was completed connecting the existing structures.
1965 - Apartments for elderly couples were added onto the growing campus.
1975 - The Rubenstein Pavilion was completed, increasing capacity to a 106 bed nursing care facility.
1981- The Heiman Center was added to the campus greatly improving space and structure to the growing rehabilitation areas and social centers.
1997 - The Oaks at Menorah Park was completed, creating a new 50 bed independent living retirement community. The Oaks broadened our focus to provide options for independent seniors looking for active retirement living.
2002 - Construction of the new Jewish Health and Rehabilitation Center. This state of the art skilled nursing center includes 132 units providing both rehabilitation and long term care needs. The original buildings were renovated to accommodate The Inn at Menorah Park, which provides supportive housing with over 61 apartments.
Today Menorah Park provides the most comprehensive services on our continuing care campus. For over 100 years our leadership has devoted themselves to enhancing our residents' quality of life and promoting independence for all we serve.
