**********
“He’s so great at 11. Just
imagine when he grows up!”
That’s what people at the
Jewish Home of Atlanta say
about 11-year-old Josh Cohen.
“Josh is like the Boy Scout
who’s ready and waiting to
help someone cross the street.”
Josh helps everyone at the
Jewish Home, where he vol
unteers every other Sunday.
He knows that some people
have trouble working with old
people. He doesn’t know why,
but he admitted he was scared
at first. “But I got used to the people. In many ways, they’re just
like everybody else. I just give them some happiness when I’m here
and that really makes me feel good.”
When the elderly people at the Home see Josh, their faces light
up. As he passes them, they reach out and kiss his hand or pat him.
In return, Josh gives them a hug or warm greeting.
One of Josh’s jobs is helping in the lunchroom. He helps feed the
old people who need help, cutting their meat or buttering their
bread.
One resident (a person who lives there) taught Josh how to play
chess. “Sometimes Mr. Cantor lets me win on purpose,” Josh said.
“But I learn so much from the people here.” He is just sad that he is
the only kid around and wishes more kids would come and help.
“I’m having all the fun myself,” he said.
Josh said he learned about volunteering from his mom. His
mother, Cissy Cohen, taught him that “Judaism means action.
Without action, you have nothing.” Both of his parents taught him
to save money to help others and to give his time to people who
need him.
Josh has good advice for other kids. “Just ‘Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you.’ Don’t tease or be mean to people be
cause one day it could happen to you.”
