About Sparks for Life-
Sparks of Life is a non-profit organization founded by Rabbi Moshe Gruskin who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease back in 2009. At the time, it was hard to face the reality of what the future held. Unfortunately, within four years his symptoms had progressed and he found himself living life as an invalid. This prompted him to seek professional guidance and educate himself about the disease. Understanding the benefits of exercise, Rabbi Gruskin implemented a physical regimen that included simcha dancing in his basement every night. Today he looks and feels like a new man,and is passionate about creating awareness within the Jewish community to better the lives of those challenged with Parkinson’s. https://sparksoflifejcp.org
