The tamarisk tree has long been a symbol of hospitality, dating back to Biblical times in the land of Israel. It is a tree that thrives in the desert, growing strong and protecting travelers with its pleasant, cooling shade. According to Biblical lore, Abraham planted a tamarisk tree upon his arrival in Beersheva. Today, the tamarisk is frequently planted throughout Israel, sprouting up in parks along the boulevards of its coastal cities.

Consistent with its quest to enrich the quality of life for older adults and their families, the Jewish Seniors Agency has chosen Tamarisk as the name of its unique assisted living residence. It is in the spirit of this desert tree that Tamarisk will rise on our land as a symbol of hospitality, making all who come here feel welcomed, comforted and protected.
