Our Jewish Community Center 

Summertime reflections… 

By Marci Erlebacher 

JCC Executive Director 

The Sam Pomeranz Jewish Community Center (JCC) of Syracuse 

is the nucleus of the Jewish community built on the foundation of 

Jewish ethics and values. We provide quality services and programs 

for all ages serving everyone in the Central New York Region. 

July 10, 2018 

I love Monday nights during the summer at the JCC. Our Senior Meal Program’s Dr. Morton 

and Mrs. Libby Maloff Summer Senior Dinners get this place hopping on Mondays. Seniors 

reserve weeks in advance for these Monday evening meals and the room is always jumping with 

anywhere from 60 to 75 attendees. 

Last night in particular, as I was leaving the JCC to go home, I was thrown into a time warp. 

There was this wonderful voice singing “Que Sera, Sera” coming out of our auditorium. It brought 

me back to my aunt playing this song made famous by Doris Day on her record player over and 

over again with the two of us singing along slightly off key. 

I can’t tell you the nostalgia this filled me with. As I looked into the auditorium filled with 

seniors, who were just finishing up with their dinners, so many had big smiles on their faces and 

some were even singing along. 

It was hard to pull myself away from the room but, as I did, I heard a lot of noise and 

excitement coming from our swimming pool. Families were enjoying the warm weather and 

children were taking swim lessons. 

A few feet down the hall I was almost run down by a very determined baby just figuring out 

that she could run but wasn’t sure how to stop as her dad was chasing behind her. 

As I got into my car and looked onto a crowded parking lot, I can’t tell you how overwhelmed 

I was with the joy of what was going on at the JCC. We were alive with laughter and life. We were 

feeding people, singing together, laughing and teaching children how to swim. We were fulfilling 

our mission to the utmost. 

As I write these thoughts we are at the beginning of our summer. We are three weeks into 

our eight weeks of summer camps and doing great. Fall semester will be here in the blink of an 

eye. Fall promises to bring us a successful year with record enrollment in our Jerome and Phyllis 

Charney Early Childhood Development Program, memberships at an all time high, after school 

attendance at record numbers and high expectations for another great year. 

I have confidence that the JCC will continue to meet the expectations of our mission statement 

in exemplary ways continuing our tradition of food, laughter, song, building healthy bodies and 

minds, and caring for children.

Supporting Your Center 


The JCC of Syracuse is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your continued 

financial contributions, gifts, grants and endowments allow us to serve 

you, your family and the larger community six days per week, year round. 

Funds raised are critical to daily operations, special programming, future 

development and improvements, and scholarships and financial aid. 

End-of-year donation 

Public support is imperative to the JCC of 

Syracuse’s survival. The center depends on 

these donations for a full 7% of its annual 

budget. Information about making a taxdeductible, 

end-of-year contribution will 

be sent out in late fall. 

Matching gifts 

Many area companies have matching gift 

programs, which encourage charitable 

giving by their employees. Under these 

programs, companies match gifts—often 

dollar for dollar or even two dollars to 

one—that individuals make to nonprofit, 

tax-exempt organizations. Your gift to 

the JCC may qualify. Please check with 

your employer to determine eligibility 

requirements. 

Tribute cards 

To commemorate special occasions, 

including births, birthdays, graduations, 

anniversaries, marriages, Bar or Bat 

Mitzvah, or to celebrate and honor the 

memory of a loved one, the JCC welcomes 

tax-deductible gifts to one of our many 

endowment or special funds. (See the 

tributes on page 34.) The JCC will 

send an acknowledgement card to the 

individual (or next of kin) in whose name 

the contribution is made. Tribute cards 

recognize someone special and help the 

JCC. For more information, contact Erin 

Hart at 315-445-2040, ext. 112. 

Volunteer 

An agency such as the JCC is dependent 

on the enthusiasm and willingness of 

community members who volunteer their 

time and talents. Volunteers are invaluable 

in bringing vital perspective, experience, 

community and manpower to complement 

those of our staff members. 

Senior Adult Dining Program 

Our Bobbi Epstein Lewis Senior Adult 

Dining Program (see page 25) offers 

seniors a hot, nutritious kosher meal 

five days a week at a very affordable 

price. It’s our way of “giving back” to 

local seniors who form the foundation 

of our community. You can help 

keep this valuable program going by 

making a contribution or becoming a 

sponsor of our monthly senior newsletter. 

For more information, contact 

Erin Hart at 315-445-2040, ext. 112. 

Jewish Federation of CNY 

The JCC of Syracuse is a beneficiary 

agency of the Jewish Federation of 

Central New York. The JCC receives 

funding from the Federation and 

works in close partnership with it to 

provide the Jewish community with 

essential programs and services. 

JCC families and members can help 

by giving generously to the Jewish 

Federation of CNY campaign.

Sold out 2018 Gala a big-time celebration 

The Sam Pomeranz Jewish Community 

Center of Syracuse does things in a big 

way. Whether it’s childcare, cuttingedge 

fitness facilities, summer camp or 

programs for seniors, the JCC is constantly 

striving for excellence. So it’s no surprise 

that this year’s 155th Annual Meeting & 

Gala, presented by naming sponsor The 

Wladis Companies, was one of the center’s 

biggest and most successful to date. 

The sold-out event, held on Sunday, 

June 3, at Owera Vineyards in Cazenovia, 

drew over 260 people. Supporters came 

together to celebrate the JCC and honor 

a large slate of award recipients, all while 

enjoying an authentic New York-style deli 

brunch catered by Essen New York Deli 

from Brooklyn. 

“We are so fortunate to have such 

wonderful support from our community, 

which has allowed us to make this year’s 

celebration one of the biggest yet,” said 

JCC of Syracuse Executive Director 

Marci Erlebacher. “The fantastic lineup

of honorees this year is even more 

meaningful as we also recognized the 

law enforcement agencies that assisted us 

through last year’s bomb threats. We are so 

appreciative of the wonderful support from 

this year’s sponsors, guests and donors.” 

Following a brief business meeting 

where the JCC board of directors installed 

its new and returning board members, as 

well as its officers, it was on to the awards 

portion. 

But first, before the full slate of 

Gala awards were presented, a special 

recognition award was given to Irv and 

Cheryl Schotz for starting the Michele 

Schotz Foundation in memory of their 

loving daughter. The foundation is giving

name to help children in the JCC’s After 

School Program excel from “caterpillar to

The JCC Gala awards program followed 

and the Kovod Award, which signifies 

honor and importance, was presented 

to Donna Lipton and Lynne Della Pelle 

Pascale. 

Lipton recently retired after 15 years of 

volunteering at the JCC as a senior exercise 

class instructor. Pascale, a JCC of Syracuse 

board member since 2013, has served as 

gala committee chairperson. She also is 

the owner of Farmer Street Pantry, a local 

specialty food business. 

Next up was the Kovod Gadol Award, 

the JCC’s highest honor which in Hebrew 

translates to great honor. This year’s 

awards were presented to those 

instrumental in keeping the JCC safe 

during and after last year’s bomb 

threats. The recipients were Susan 

Case DeMari, Jewish Federation of 

Central New York security liaison; 

the Federal Bureau of Investigation 

(FBI); New York State Police; 

Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office; 

Town of DeWitt Police Department; 

and Centro.

Thank you 

for an amazing summer! 



Reality cannot be changed 

or doctored 

By Rabbi Evan Shore 

Sha’arei Torah Orthodox 

Congregation of Syracuse 

Recently, my wife and I vacationed in 

Orlando. I couldn’t believe how many 

people viewed their experience through the 

lens of a smart phone or camera. Even while 

watching attractions at Disney, I noticed 

many people viewing the show through the 

blue light of their screens. I began to think 

if the same people recorded their own 

actions, experiences and live interactions, 

would they want to share the footage with 

others? 

In reality, our lives and every day actions 

are recorded. Our Rabbis in the Talmud 

teach us, there is a Seeing eye, Hearing ear 

and all of our actions are recorded. With 

our smart devices it is very easy to delete a 

scene or picture. We may try to Photoshop 

a picture but the truth remains. Reality 

cannot be changed or doctored. 

The upcoming High Holidays afford us a 

chance to begin anew and to start over. 

There may be actions we need to change, 

others to eliminate, while there may be 

character traits we need to adopt and take 

on. 

Rosh Hashanah is quickly approaching and 

the Master Producer and Director, Hashem, 

is about to call out ACTION!!! The question 

that remains to be answered is clear: If we 

are able to look over and view our actions 

next year at this time, would we be proud 

or ashamed, pleased or unhappy? 

The call of the shofar is about to sound. 

Let us heed its call and give our best 

performance of our lives so truly the year 

5779 will be one we can look back at with a 

sense of accomplishment and pride in all of 

our actions. 

Please God, let this year be one of peace, 

health, happiness and true realization 

of Jewish ideals. To all: A Shanah Tova 

Tikateivu!!!

provided busing for JCC 

staff and children to its 

offsite evacuation area 

during the incidents. 

“It was truly fitting to 

recognize all who ‘had 

our back’ during such 

a trying time last year,” 

said Erlebacher. “We 

got through it and now 

our programs are on the 

upswing and doing very 

well.” 

Next was the Hall of Fame Award, 

which recognizes and celebrates 

individuals who have dedicated themselves 

to the Syracuse Jewish community and 

to the advancement of the JCC. The first 

award, which was unable to be given last 

year, was presented to Bob and Diane 

Miron. The Mirons couldn’t attend last 

year’s Gala because of Bob Miron’s illness. 

He’s since made a great recovery and the 

Miron’s looked great as they graciously 

accepted their award. 

This year’s Hall of Fame Awards were 

then presented to Sheldon 

“Shelly” Kruth and Marilyn 

Pinsky. Kruth is a managing 

partner with the public 

accounting firm D’Arcangelo 

and Co. As a child, he attended 

the JCC summer camp and 

participated in other JCC 

programs. His connection to 

the JCC continued as an adult

How to Register 

Registration for the 2018-2019 school year 

has been ongoing, and space is typically 

very limited. Each new school year requires 

registration. When a class is filled, based on 

New York State licensing requirements, a 

wait list is developed. Once the school year 

begins, children are admitted from the wait 

list on a space-available basis. 

There is a $25 wait list reservation fee. 

This does not guarantee placement in a 

classroom. We will notify you if a placement 

becomes available, and you will have 48 

hours to accept the placement. 

Withdrawals, changes 

Enrollment in ECDP is a commitment to 

our 10-month school year which consists 

of three sessions: September–November, 

December–February and March–June. Any 

withdrawals or enrollment changes must be 

made 30 days before the start of a session. 

For more information, and to schedule a 

tour, please call us at 315-445-2040, ext. 120. 

Infant Level 

We offer the highest quality of care to our 

youngest members in the Syracuse area. To 

maintain a developmentally appropriate 

environment for our infants, they are 

separated into two age groups: Infant I 

and Infant II. Infants who are 6 weeks to 

12 months old at time of enrollment are 

placed in the Infant I classroom. Infants 

who are 12 months to 24 months at the 

We are committed to developing the social, emotional, physical 

and intellectual well being of each child, allowing them to grow and 

flourish as productive members of the community. Our 

Hours 

Monday–Friday 

7 am – 6 pm 

time of enrollment are placed in the 

Infant II classroom. 

The ECDP provides a responsive 

environment that supports and encourages 

exploration through a variety of classroom 

routines and experiences. Infant caregivers 

focus on daily routines such as hellos and 

goodbyes, 

diapering 

and toileting, 

feeding, 

dressing and 

soothing 

to sleep as 

part of the 

curriculum. 

These oneon-one 

routines help to build positive 

relationships between infant and caregiver, 

promoting trust and allowing infants to 

feel secure in their environment. 

Once infants have developed a 

trusting relationship with their caregivers 

they will start to gain new skills and 

participate more actively in daily routines. 

The teachers are then able to provide 

intentional indoor and outdoor experiences 

that allow children to learn while imitating 

and pretending, connecting with music 

and movement, exploring with sand and 

water and creating with art. 

emphasis is on helping children become independent, 

self-confident, inquisitive and enthusiastic learners. 

Toddler Level 

• Must be 18-months old by September 4, 2018 

Toddler children are at an age when they 

establish secure attachments with their 

caregivers more quickly and are now eager 

to experience their world. They react to 

what they experience through their senses 

and physical activity. ECDP teachers 

provide intentional experiences for 

toddlers through a variety of indoor and 

outdoor experiences. 

Learning materials that match the 

children’s growing abilities and interests 

are provided and the children start to 

explore objects and begin to use them 

purposefully. While playing with toys, 

imitating and pretending, exploring 

sand and water, creating with art and 

going outdoors, the toddlers learn to 

communicate and socialize with peers and 

adults, to think mathematically and to 

discover like scientists. 

Toddlers start to enjoy special 

programming outside of the classroom 

setting, such as Toddler Tango and gym 

class. Toddlers are placed into classrooms 

according to their chronological age. 

Children do not need to be toilet trained, 

and when appropriate, toilet training will 

be incorporated into one of the goals for 

your child.

Three-Year Old Level 

• Must be age 3 by December 1, 2018 

With kindergarten just two years away, 

this is an important time for every child 

to learn that the world is bigger than 

imagined. Children learn new skills 

and concepts through our thematic, 

hands-on approach to learning. Daily 

activities are carefully planned to promote 

children’s social, emotional and cognitive 

development. Our teachers are trained to 

recognize differences in rates 

of development within this 

age group, and individualize 

instruction to meet every 

child’s needs. Materials and 

activities are appropriately 

tailored in an effort to 

challenge children’s abilities 

while building their selfconfidence. 

Throughout the year, children will 

discover the wonder of the world they live 

in. All of our three-year olds are actively 

engaged in group discussions, long-term 

studies, sensory play, cooking, process art 

and more. Our three-year olds are reading 

stories, singing songs and playing their way 

through the day. We also tailor gym time 

with our specialized gym instructor to 

the needs of our three-year olds. We play 

outside every day, weather permitting, on 

our beautiful fenced-in playgrounds. 

With all of these wonderful 

activities happening in our three-year 

old classrooms, the Early Childhood 

Development Program provides a well 

rounded and positive learning experience 

for your child. 

Pre-K Level 

• Must be age 4 by December 1, 2018 

Our oldest children explore the world 

through our hands-on, developmentally 

appropriate approach to learning. We 

include both child initiated play and 

teacher-directed academic experiences on 

a daily basis. Planned lessons 

and activities allow teachers 

to informally and continually 

assess each child in order 

to effectively modify and 

individualize instruction. 

Academically, we focus 

on exposing children to the 

skills and concepts needed 

to succeed in kindergarten. 

This includes creative expression, math 

and reading readiness, along with fine 

and gross motor skill development to help 

each child learn, grow and succeed. Each 

classroom is also equipped with a SMART 

board where the children are engaged in 

daily interactive lessons which promote 

creativity and critical thinking. 

Children at the Pre-K level attend field 

trips which coincide with what they are 

learning. In the fall our classes will visit 

the apple and pumpkin farms. Later in the 

school year the teachers will plan specific 

trips per their curriculums.

PJ Library day in ECDP. Children are 

encouraged to wear their pajamas to school 

when the PJ Library coordinator visits to

with the children. PJ Library offers free, 

high-quality Jewish books and music each

Fall tap dance classes start Oct. 9 

Adult tap dance classes will start up again 

at the JCC on Tuesdays beginning Oct. 9. 

Four class levels will be offered each 

evening: remedial starting at 6:30 p.m., 

beginner at 7:00 p.m., intermediate at 8:00 

p.m. and advanced at 9:00 p.m. The weekly 

group sessions will run through Dec. 18. 

The JCC’s tap classes are open to 

anyone age 12 and older. No prior dance 

experience is necessary. The cost is $5 per 

person each night. No RSVP is necessary 

and plenty of free parking is available. 

The remedial and beginner classes 

are for newcomers and teach from the 

beginning. A limited number of tap shoes 

are available to borrow each night on a first 

come, first serve basis. Class registration is 

not necessary, although tappers are asked 

to arrive early to sign in. 

Local attorney and choreographer 

Barry Shulman will once again lead the 

classes. Shulman, who has held the tap 

classes each fall and spring at the JCC for 

many years, teaches “New York City” style. 

Students do not need to commit to every 

class and can attend as much as they’d like. 

Fall 2018 Tap Dance class schedule | Tuesdays 

Oct. 9, 16, 23, 30 • Nov. 6, 13, 20, 27 • Dec. 4, 11, 18 

“We’re excited to have Barry bring tap 

back again this fall,” said Patrick Scott, 

JCC sports & fitness director. “He’s an 

excellent teacher and makes the classes 

lively and entertaining. For all levels of 

dancers, Barry does a great job of getting 

everyone moving and having fun.” 

Shulman, a partner with the law firm 

Mackenzie Hughes LLP, has taught many 

principal dancers on Broadway and with 

national tours. He keeps the cost of the 

tap classes to a minimum and donates the 

proceeds to the JCC of Syracuse. Shulman 

received the JCC’s Kovod Gadol award in 

2013 for his extraordinary commitment, 

energy and loyalty to the center.

their world in a hands-on manner.
