New York Jewish Week via JTA Muriel Mandell shows few signs of slowing down as she nears her 100th birthday on August 19.
The former wartime reporter-turned children’s book author-turned tech-savvy senior continues to lead quite the active life, as a reporter learned while visiting her apartment recently in downtown Manhattan’s Greenwich Village.
She’s still reviewing children’s books and taking classes. And as a founder of SeniorTechNYC at the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan and its predecessor, the SeniorNet Learning Center, she teaches classes in animation, photo editing and Microsoft Word. During the pandemic, she has continued teaching the classes on Zoom.
