The KleinLife Senior Center, formerly of Congregation Adath Jeshurun, has moved to a new home in Congregation Keneseth Israel of Elkins Park, the Jewish Exponent reported. A celebratory grand opening party was held on Wednesday, November 13 at the synagogue.

According to the story, the rental agreement at 8339 Old York Road is indefinite.

“We looked around and decided that KI was a really good fit,” program director Gail Korostoff said, noting that Keneseth Israel has an elevator and easier access for handicapped people, handicapped parking, and a library that can be used to host classes.

Inna Gulko, director of Support Services, wants to continue to improve the adult fitness and exercise classes.

“It’s not the same senior center that existed 10 years ago. We are focused on socialization, health, wellness, and that’s why the programming is appealing to a younger, more vibrant and more active demographic,” she said.

“We’re a community center, and the demographics of the community in Northeast Philadelphia as well as Elkins Park are shifting,” Gulko said. “We have people from different ethnicities and cultures, and when they come here, of course we don’t turn them away. We welcome them with open arms. It’s a mixed community, and it’s fun to see.”
