CHALLAH DELIVERY PROGRAM AT THE
HOSPITAL OF UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
(BALA CYNWYD, PA) The Golden Slipper Club &
Charities (GSC) is well known in the community
for its unmatched summer camp for children, a
college scholarship fund for deserving students, a
welcoming center for senior citizens, and many other
initiatives. It has now added yet another new
endeavor: delivering challah on Friday evenings and
Jewish holidays to hospitalized Jewish patients at
the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP). Challah
is a special often braided bread that is eaten on
the Jewish Sabbath and on holidays; it is being
provided by Jewish Family and Children's Service of
Greater Philadelphia

Under the leadership of Roy Kardon, president
of the Golden Slipper Center for Seniors,
Golden Slipper members are training at HUP,
located at 3400 Spruce Street in Philadelphia, prior
to the commencement of the delivery program. It is
expected to be fully operational in August. The
GSC executive director is Paul Geller and the
chair of the board is Stephen H. Frishberg.
"Our mission is wide, and this is yet another
wonderful family service charitable program" states
Paul Geller. Adds Steve Frishberg: We've provided
assistance in so many ways. This new initiative is
one designed to warm the heart." Learn more at
