1910 – Beginnings
Hymen Goldman was a 25-year-old salesman when he
encountered an elderly Jewish man weeping outside a grocery
store. Seated on a breadbox, the lonely, dejected man had
become homeless following his wife’s death. Goldman
discussed the man’s plight with a group of Jewish civic-minded
individuals, who began collecting funds, nickels and dimes,
to board the gentleman in a widow’s home. The Hebrew
Home was born. Hymen Goldman became known as “Mr.
Hebrew Home,” and the organization’s top honor bears his name.
1949
1914 –
415 M Street, NW
As the number of elderly
seeking shelter grew,
Bernard Danzansky led
fundraising efforts to
purchase and convert
a brick row house on
M Street into the Hebrew
Home for the Aged. The
mission, as spelled out in
the 1916 Certificate of
Incorporation, was “to
provide a home where food,
clothing and shelter shall
be furnished free of charge
to indigent aged persons
of the Hebrew faith.”
1933
1933 – An early activity
On Spring Road, Hebrew Home residents benefited from
numerous recreational activities organized by the Home’s
Ladies Auxiliary, as well as a library housing over 4,000
volumes and daily Yiddish and English newspapers,
Jewish “moving pictures,” Torah study classes, Jewish
holiday and birthday celebrations, and more.
1925 – 1125 Spring Road, NW
1949 – Passover Seder
Within a decade, there was mounting realization that a
new and larger facility was needed. On November 29,
1925, in dedication ceremonies attended by President
Calvin Coolidge, U.S. congressmen, senators, and local
government officials, the community celebrated the grand
opening of a 35-bed Hebrew Home for the Aged, situated
on four acres of land purchased for $50,000.
Residents of the Home maintained important religious
traditions throughout the Jewish calendar year. Describing
the Home’s Seder in 1949, a report noted, “The room
was decorated beautifully, and vases of fresh flowers
and candelabras were placed on each table, and
Mr. Maser [the Home’s Executive Director for 36 years],
in his beautiful white gown, conducted the services
in a very grand manner.”
Celebrate our century of service
On Isabelle Press’ 100th birthday:
The Hebrew Home has many admirable attributes. However,
what makes it such a special place are the kind, caring and
dedicated people who work there at all levels – the nurses,
aides, dining room servers, receptionists, maintenance people,
and on and on. You are always ready with a friendly greeting
and willingness to help, no matter how busy you may be. We
have seen the tender care you provide to all the patients, regardless of whatever disabilities they may have. We have walked
into the TV room and seen an aide sitting next to Isabelle just
quietly holding her hand. We have walked into the dining room
and seen an aide sitting next to her helping her finish her dinner. When we wheel her down a hallway she gets a “hello
Isabelle” from virtually every staff person we pass.
We know how difficult your jobs are, so your friendliness and
caring are all the more impressive and appreciated. It gives her
family a great deal of comfort to know Isabelle is in such good
hands. So, on her 100th birthday, her children, grandchildren,
great grandchildren, brother, niece and all of their spouses
would like to say thank you for all you have done to help make
her past two years such good ones.

100 Years Ago...
CHARLES E. SMITH
Charles E. Smith Life Communities takes its name
from a visionary leader in the Washington Jewish
community. Charles E. Smith (1901-1995) was a
persuasive philanthropist who generously supported the most vulnerable in our society. As president
of the Hebrew Home from 1959–1962, he laid
the groundwork for the Home’s 1969 move to its
current Rockville campus.
Recognizing the need for continued philanthropic
support and the emerging continuum of care on our
campus, his son and son-in-law, Robert H. Smith
and Robert P. Kogod, and their families made an
extraordinary $12 million investment in our future.
Our name, adopted in May 2006, unites our entities, sustains both the legacy and leadership of
Charles E. Smith and honors the memory of a
remarkable leader.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Charles E. Smith Life
Communities is to fulfill Jewish values by providing
a continuum of quality services for elders and their
families, and affirm our commitment to the dignity
of each individual.
OUR VISION
The Charles E. Smith Life Communities
will be viewed and supported by our
community as the leader and provider
of choice in delivering innovative and
compassionate services for elders.
Our services and programs are
open to all in the community.
2 | The Charles E. Smith Life Communities
It all started 100 years ago in 1910. With an
increase of Jewish immigrants from the 1880s and
1890s, many elderly faced an uncertain future. This
was during a time when Medicare, Medicaid and Social
Security did not exist. Fortunately, a small group of
concerned Jewish leaders took notice. Together, they
worked to provide shelter for those senior citizens in
need. And after four years, the founders of the Hebrew
Home for the Aged acquired a brick row house on M
Street in Northwest Washington to provide a home for
10 elderly residents. In this home, the new residents
experienced an environment founded on the Jewish
values of care, compassion, justice, and learning. And
as the number of those who needed long-term care
grew, so did the Hebrew Home.
In our first 40 years, we grew from a row house for
10, to a new facility designed specifically for eldercare
on Spring Road in NW Washington that housed 35,
to an expansion that accommodated 165 men and
women. And then we planned our really big move,
to our campus in Rockville, Maryland. Of course,
we couldn’t have done this alone. As in our humble
beginnings, community members, volunteers and
philanthropists have always played a huge role in our
ability to expand and serve our constantly growing
community. Individuals such as Charles E. Smith,
our first president Bernard Danzansky, our dear Aunt
Minnie Goldsmith, and countless others helped us
transform into one of the area’s premier eldercare
communities—serving 1,000 seniors daily on the
Charles E. Smith Life Communities campus.
the Hebrew Home opened its doors, its arms, and its heart
Today, as we look at our next 100 years,
we are focused on how we can grow and evolve to
continually improve our care. We know the best way
to prepare for that future is to build on our strengths.
Our person-centered approach to care allows us to
concentrate on enhancing each of our residents’ lives.
And, as we begin to integrate technology into our
delivery of care, we know that we are making an even
greater impact. Electronic health records will make
it easier for us to give timely health updates to our
residents and their family members, and to coordinate
care through the continuum of services.
Currently, we stand on the brink of tremendous
change:
• The baby boomer generation will create the largest
wave of retirees this country has witnessed, a
“tsunami” of aging, and they bring new expectations
and perspectives on care for the aging.
• We are operating within a rapidly shifting healthcare
climate, and we are trying to decipher how healthcare
reform and new policies will impact our organization.
As our residents’ interests, needs, and priorities
have continued to change, so have ours.
But, much like in the beginning, our future success
will depend on our extended family. Our donors,
board, volunteers and staff working together, and our
determination to stay true to our values -- that’s what
got us to this point in our history. And that is what
will lead us as we move into our second century, as
we work to meet the changing needs of our individual
residents and of our community as a whole.
After 100 years of service, the Hebrew Home
of Greater Washington has much to celebrate. Our
success is a testimony to our vibrant past, vital present
and visionary future. Our goal is always about making
life more caring, more vital for that one man, that one
woman, that one family. That will never change.
Throughout this centennial year, we celebrate with
all who truly make us the Hebrew Home, and we
invite you to join us.
• Dwindling Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements,
rising costs, increasing need for charity care, and
other financial challenges confront our ability to
sustain our vision.
No matter what changes and challenges face us,
the Hebrew Home is committed to being at the forefront of this changing dynamic.

Comparing these two charts shows that nearly 70 percent of the
nursing care provided at the Hebrew Home is for residents on
Medicaid, yet only about half the income received is from
Medicaid reimbursements. This gap creates the significant
shortfall shown on our financial summary. It also should be
noted that Medicare payments support short-stay residents in
our rehabilitation program, where care is more costly due to the
intensive therapy, medication and nursing they receive.

Aunt Minnie Goldsmith Award
Mrs. Charles Goldsmith, who was born in 1871, opened her heart to all those in distress.
Lovingly known as “Aunt Minnie,” she took it upon herself to lead fundraising efforts on
behalf of the Hebrew Home and its elderly residents. Each spring, she celebrated her
birthday by inviting friends to a luncheon to raise funds for the Home. The Aunt
Minnie Luncheon, which draws hundreds of women, continues that tradition, and the
award in her name is presented annually “for idealistic service to humanity and community welfare.”

Guardian Campaign
Since the founding of the Hebrew Home in 1910, we have counted on
the charitable support of the community to help us fulfill our mission
to shelter and care for the area’s elderly, regardless of their financial
status. For 51 years, the annual Guardian Campaign has provided this
critical support. Despite a challenging economic climate, a record
number of donors responded to the 2009 campaign, and contributed
nearly $980,000 to help offset our deficit.

Legacy Gifts – Builders of the Future
Builders of the Future have created legacies through Bequests, Charitable Gift Annuities or Remainder Trusts,
or by naming the Hebrew Home as a beneficiary of a trust, IRA or insurance policy. Builders have taken the
hard steps today to guarantee that their support of the Home will live beyond them. Their legacies will help
us provide a continuum of care for frail elders and their families for generations to come. We are grateful to
the following individuals who have informed us that the Hebrew Home will be receiving a gift in the future
because of actions they have already taken. There are many others whose names we do not know or who
request anonymity.

Legacy Gifts – Permanent and Designated Funds
The Hebrew Home enters its second century of service with a permanent endowment strengthened by gifts from
generations of donors, including those who have established Permanent or Designated Funds. Named permanent
funds are created for many reasons: in memory of someone dear, in honor of a person or an event, or for the
comfort of providing Charles E. Smith Life Communities with needed financial support for those with nowhere
else to turn. These funds directly benefit those we serve through a wide variety of programs or services that
contribute to our “Margin of Excellence.”
The term “Permanent Fund” indicates the original gift creates an endowment from which earnings will be
distributed. A “Designated Fund” is totally expended for the specific purpose chosen by the donor. We owe all
of the wonderful donors who have created or donated to these funds a great debt of gratitude for their generosity
and compassion.

In Memoriam
“Jewish tradition is based upon compassion,
based upon respect for parents, based upon providing for parents in their
later years. The Hebrew Home has enabled that to happen in the right
tradition, with the right values, in the most appropriate environment.”
– Robert H. Smith
We were deeply saddened at the passing of Robert H. Smith in December 2009.
Mr. Smith, with his wife Clarice and his sister and brother-in-law Arlene and
Robert P. Kogod, sustained his father Charles E. Smith’s passion for supporting
the elderly and was a generous patron of the Hebrew Home.
The Smith-Kogod Residence, which opened in 1981, doubled the Home’s size.
In December 2005, Robert Smith, with his family, made a $12 million gift,
unprecedented in the Home’s history, to bring together our eldercare services under
the name Charles E. Smith Life Communities, capping a half century of support.
Harold L. Hirsh, M.D., J.D.
Dr. Harold L. Hirsh was a valued friend and supporter
of the Hebrew Home for over three quarters of a century.
He began visiting the Home at the age of 8 to read
Tehillim to residents, leaving 25 cents in the tzedakah
box. As a physician in the 1950s, Dr. Hirsh organized
doctors from the Jewish community to attend to our
residents’ medical needs. A volunteer medical panel with
36 practitioners was formed, and Dr. Hirsh chaired this
panel until 1972. In 1991, the Hirsh Health Center was
established with a generous donation from Harold and
Jane Hirsh, who also passed away in 2009.
Dr. and Mrs. Hirsh, with Medical Director Dr. Damien Doyle, 2008
1953 – Spring Road
Expansion
1967 – Groundbreaking
Ceremony
A major addition was made to the Spring
Road Home to alleviate overcrowding.
Resident capacity rose to 165. A medical
panel was also established, under the
direction of Dr. Harold Hirsh.
Over 1,000 guests, including
rabbis, political dignitaries and the
Pentagon’s Military Color Guard,
attended the afternoon ceremony.
Because of 90-degree heat, Maryland
Governor Spiro T. Agnew, third from
left, decided against delivering his
lengthy keynote address (it was
printed in The Jewish Week instead),
recommending that it be read “in the
cool of your homes.”
Charles
E. Smith
(1901–1995)
A leading philanthropist in the
Washington Jewish
community and
president of the
Hebrew Home
from 1959 to 1962,
Charles E. Smith boldly organized the
important studies and massive fundraising
campaign to relocate the Hebrew Home,
along with the Jewish Social Service
Agency and the Jewish Community
Center, to a campus setting in Montgomery
County, Maryland. At the time, the
Advisory Board of the Home, of which
Mr. Smith was a member, included:
Leonard I. Abel, Lawrence Brandt,
Samuel P. Cohen, Joseph B. Gildenhorn,
Hymen Goldman, Myer C. Handleman,
Dr. Harold L. Hirsh, Simon Hirshman,
George Hurwitz, Herman Kozlow,
Charles J. Pilzer, Arthur D. Schaffer,
and Louis Zions. Samuel Roberts was
Executive Director.
1953
Mrs. Charles Goldsmith
(1871–1971)
1969 – Moving Day
to Rockville
On May 20, 1969, 172 elderly residents
were transported from Spring Road to
the Wasserman Residence in Rockville
with the aid of the DC National Guard
and the Red Cross. The new Hebrew
Home of Greater Washington was
spacious, modern (with air conditioning),
and could now accommodate 266
residents. In 1981, the Smith-Kogod
residence doubled the Home’s size.
1995 – Rehabilitation
Center Opens
Responding to the need for skilled
rehabilitation services for those
recovering from illness or accidents,
the Rehabilitation Center
opened at the Home in
1995. Today, the Muriel
and Stanley Rakusin
1967
Rehabilitation Center treats over 1,000
short-stay patients of all ages annually. It recently won the Outstanding
Program Performance Award from
RehabCare Group, Inc. Plans are currently proceeding to expand the rehabilitation program from 70 to 103 beds.
Minnie Goldsmith, affectionately
known as “Aunt Minnie,” served as
chairman of the Building Fund
Committee in 1922, helping to engineer
the Home’s move to Spring Road.
“My favorite charity is, was, and
always will be The Hebrew Home for
the Aged,” she once informed a friend.
Aunt Minnie used the celebration of
her April birthday as an annual
luncheon occasion to raise important
funds for the Home. In 1941, the
Women’s Auxiliary began hosting
these luncheons; in 1955, the event
drew 1,200 guests to the Willard Hotel,
the largest luncheon crowd the hotel
had ever served. A Washington
institution, the “Aunt Minnie
Luncheon” is still celebrated today.
