Blessed to celebrate on her 104th birthday!

I feel so happy and grateful to have been able to celebrate with our dear Ruth Anderson, on her 104th birthday!

According to Ruth, "smiling makes you live longer". Thank you for sharing your smile with us and reminding us what's truly important.

Even in the most difficult of times, we can always rely on Ruth to bring a genuine smile and motivated attitude.

All it takes is for her to step into a room, and her zest for life fills it to the brim until no one can help but be lifted up by her energy. Ruth may be the oldest in our community by age, but when it comes to joyful spirit, I count her amongst the youngest.

When people ask Ruth how she’s made it to her age, still so active and full of positivity, she smiles big and says,

“Every night I send an email to God, to thank Him for a good day, and ask him for another good day, and it happens!”

A steadfast Partner and supporter of Chabad of Naples, Ruth lives with the truth that it is that which we give that we truly own forever.

We are so blessed to have such a remarkable woman among us.

On her 104th birthday, let’s all take a moment to thank God for a good day, ask him for another, and smile as we watch it happen.

Join Ettie Zaklos and me in sending Ruth love and blessings from the entire Chabad of Naples family.

Mazel Tov Ruth! Looking forward to 120!
