Please join us to celebrate the recipients of our inaugural 16 over 61 awards.
Jewish tradition is filled with stories of individuals who take transformative journeys late in their lives. Moses, Abraham, Sarah, Miriam, and Naomi are just a few who make invaluable contributions at mature ages. Instead of diminishing, their relevance to their communities intensifies as they age.
The 16 Over 61 Awards are a unique partnership between the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan’s Wechsler Center for Modern Aging and the Forward, in which we spotlighted the creativity, leadership, and initiative of older adults who exemplify our collective values.
Please register in advance and the program link will be sent to you.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. Support our work by becoming a Forward Member and connect with our journalism and your community.
