FALL 2011

The Jewish Community Center,

putting you at the center of everything

this fall!

Dear Members,For each of us, the Jewish Community Center can mean something unique and different depending on our interests and needs. For some it is Camp or Early Childhood and the wonderful growth and learning opportunities provided. For others, it is a safe and wholesome environment for teens to socialize and to grow as leaders. Some rely on us to provide respite while we serve their disabled child. And for many, it is the chance to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle by utilizing our fitness and wellness facilities and programs.

Our ability to help our members meet these diverse needs has led us to develop a new branding concept entitled “Find Your Center”. Each of you can interpret this theme differently, but we believe you will find that the JCC fulfills a critical center in your lives.

We continually strive to be a dynamic and relevant institution, which means always modifying and changing what we do. Over the past year, we have been working diligently on three new initiatives that will enable us to expand our services to our members and the community. They are:

1. Enhancing our effectiveness in providing quality Jewish Arts and Culture programming.

2. Positioning the JCC to be the “go to place” for wellness by evaluating our current services and understanding what new services we should be providing.

3. Developing opportunities to reach and serve individuals and families who live beyond the walls of our physical facilities.

Over the next year, we plan to develop ideas for creative and dynamic opportunities in these three areas. If you have some thoughts about what we should be doing in Arts and Culture, Wellness and Outreach to Families, we would love to hear from you. You can email your ideas to [email protected] or use our suggestion box at the front desk.

As always, we never want to take your loyalty to the JCC for granted and we are committed to do our utmost to serve the needs of you and your family.

We wish all of you a healthy and happy new year.

LaShanah Tova,

Louis “Buddy” Sapolsky

Seventeen-year-old Fania, her baby daughter, her elderly uncle, and her emotionally impaired brother arrive at the port of Jaffa, having survived a pogrom in which all other members of their family were killed. Having no real choice, Fania marries Yechiel, a widower whose wife died of malaria, leaving him to care for their two children himself.

Israeli Film Academy Award – Best Documentary

Ahead of TimeWednesday, October 26; 7:30pm Director: Robert RichmanCountry: USA/IsraelYear: 2009Language: English/Hebrew

A documentary on the remarkable life of Ruth Gruber. At 97, Brooklyn-born Ruth still has that same sharp intellect and moxie that propelled her to become the world’s youngest PhD at age 20. A New York Herald Tribune reporter and photographer at 24, she was the first journalist to enter the Soviet Arctic. As a trusted member of the Roosevelt Administration during WWII, she was given a dangerous secret mission. A feminist before feminism, Ruth was never just an observer; she was a participant in the making of history. Ruth covered the turbulent Middle East throughout the 1940’s. The film combines verité footage of Ruth traveling back to Israel, with interviews and archival material.
