When she was 88, Hilda Jaffe decided to open a new chapter in her life.
She sold her home in New Jersey and moved to a one‑bedroom apartment in the heart of Manhattan. At over 100 years old, Jaffe has been a longtime volunteer tour and exhibition guide at the historic New York Public Library. She cleans her small apartment by herself and walks about half a mile from her home to the library, and to local grocery stores, carrying her groceries home.
