Our Story Serving the Jewish elderly on the Lower East Side Project Ezra is a nonprofit organization that works with the frail Jewish elderly to live with dignity companionship and community on NYCs Lower East Side. Founded in 1972 we provide hundreds of elders with a variety of services and activities to reduce their social isolation and to enhance their lives. We were founded to bring light and joy into seniors lives by following the principle of tikkun olam and the Psalm Do not forsake us in our old age as our strength seeps away do not abandon us. Today five decades after our founding the need for our work is more acute than ever.
