Widowers and Widows Social Group

The monthly lunch get-togethers of the Widowers and Widows social group are generally the first Monday of each month, and the next meeting will be Monday, June 5th at noon at Lemongrass restaurant in Bellevue. Group founder Gil Fox says "Losing a spouse at any time in one’s life brings sudden & significant change. Whether it’s going to a movie alone or being the new single at a dinner with other couples - it might feel challenging and lonely. Our group is composed of widowers and widows from all over the Nashville Jewish community; individuals who lost his/her spouse 2 months, 2 years, and even 20 years ago. Our monthly lunches and other activities allow people who have undergone similar life changes to meet others in the same situation in order to socialize and make new friends.” To sign up or get more information, please email Gil.

Tzedakah is the cornerstone of our Jewish community. Sometimes we give; sometimes we need to receive. It's okay to ask for help. We are here with confidential resources to lend a hand. Reach out for assistance HERE.
