We’re all superheroes<br />
fighting this pandemic together<br />
Yes, we’ve all been superheroes navigating<br />
our way through the uncharted waters<br />
of this pandemic for the past 18 months.<br />
By wearing a mask where warranted,<br />
maintaining social distancing and<br />
following critical health and safety<br />
guidelines, you’ve worked hard to keep<br />
your friends and family safe. Just like the<br />
JCC has worked tirelessly to keep our<br />
members, visitors, staff and community<br />
safe by implementing appropriate<br />
protocols. It’s been a very draining and<br />
wild ride, and we’re not out of the woods<br />
yet, but we’re getting there and we’ll<br />
continue to do so by working together.<br />
Thank you for your commitment to<br />
the JCC and working with us to keep our<br />
campus community and the community<br />
at large safe. Your support during<br />
these trying times—whether through<br />
membership, registering your children in<br />
our programs or making a tax-deductible<br />
donation—has been tremendous and much<br />
appreciated. Working together has brought<br />
out the best superhero qualities in all of us.<br />
For the latest information on current<br />
COVID-19 protocols at the JCC, visit our<br />
website www.jccsyr.org. If you have any<br />
questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate<br />
to contact us at 315-445-2360 or<br />

A note about our photos...<br />
Some people pictured in this issue are not wearing masks because of different<br />
COVID-19 protocols at the time or the photos were taken pre-pandemic.<br />
<strong>2021</strong> KlezFest CNY postponed until next year<br />
The organizers of KlezFest<br />
CNY, sponsored by the<br />
Jewish Federation of Central<br />
New York, have postponed<br />
this year’s September 19<br />
music festival to Sunday,<br />
September 18, 2022. This<br />
tough decision was made<br />
out of an abundance of<br />
caution to help protect the<br />
health and safety of the community due<br />
to the rapidly spreading COVID-19 Delta<br />
variant. The organizers thank the artists,<br />
sponsors and vendors who recently signed<br />
on and appreciate their understanding<br />
and flexibility as the festival works to<br />
come back bigger and better next year. For<br />
questions about the 2022 KlezFest CNY,<br />
please contact the JCC of Syracuse at<br />
315-445-2360 or pjcny@jccsyr.org.<br />

Supporting Your Center<br />
315-445-2360 | www.jccsyr.org<br />
The JCC of Syracuse is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your continued<br />
financial contributions, gifts, grants and endowments allow us to serve<br />
you, your family and the larger community six days per week, year round.<br />
Funds raised are critical to daily operations, special programming, future<br />
development and improvements, and scholarships and financial aid.<br />
End-of-year donation<br />
Public support is imperative to the JCC of<br />
Syracuse’s survival. The center depends on<br />
these donations for a full 7% of its annual<br />
budget. Information about making a taxdeductible,<br />
end-of-year contribution will<br />
be sent out in late fall.<br />
Matching gifts<br />
Many area companies have matching gift<br />
programs, which encourage charitable<br />
giving by their employees. Under these<br />
programs, companies match gifts—often<br />
dollar for dollar or even two dollars to<br />
one—that individuals make to nonprofit,<br />
tax-exempt organizations. Your gift to<br />
the JCC may qualify. Please check with<br />
your employer to determine eligibility<br />
requirements.<br />
Tribute cards<br />
To commemorate special occasions,<br />
including births, birthdays, graduations,<br />
anniversaries, marriages, Bar or Bat<br />
Mitzvah, or to celebrate and honor<br />
the memory of a loved one, the JCC<br />
welcomes tax-deductible gifts to one of<br />
our many endowment or special funds.<br />
(See the tributes on page 26.) The JCC<br />
will send an acknowledgement card to the<br />
individual (or next of kin) in whose name<br />
the contribution is made. Tribute cards<br />
recognize someone special and help the<br />
JCC. For more information, contact Erin<br />
Hart at 315-445-2040, ext. 112.<br />
Volunteer<br />
An agency such as the JCC is dependent<br />
on the enthusiasm and willingness of<br />
community members who volunteer their<br />
time and talents. Volunteers are invaluable<br />
in bringing vital perspective, experience,<br />
community and manpower to complement<br />
those of our staff members.<br />
Senior Adult Dining <strong>Program</strong><br />
Our Bobbi Epstein Lewis Senior Adult<br />
Dining <strong>Program</strong> (see page 21) offers<br />
seniors a hot, nutritious kosher meal<br />
five days a week at a very affordable<br />
price. It’s our way of “giving back” to<br />
local seniors who form the foundation<br />
of our community. You can help<br />
keep this valuable program going by<br />
making a contribution or becoming a<br />
sponsor of our monthly senior newsletter.<br />
For more information, contact<br />

Jewish Federation of CNY<br />
The JCC of Syracuse is a beneficiary<br />
agency of the Jewish Federation of<br />
Central New York. The JCC receives<br />
funding from the Federation and<br />
works in close partnership with it to<br />
provide the Jewish community with<br />

JCC made virtual learning<br />
The Club J All Day program, which ended in June,<br />
was one of the JCC’s many innovative responses<br />
to helping families during the pandemic.<br />
Starting in March of 2020, when the pandemic first hit,<br />
families were forced to figure out how to work and learn,<br />
all from home. When virtual leaning began, no one could<br />
imagine the toll this would take on the children and their<br />
education and emotional health. Often working parents<br />
struggled to continue their children’s learning while also<br />
working to provide for the family.<br />
The Sam Pomeranz Jewish Community Center saw<br />
how difficult this was for working families and knew<br />
it needed to provide some type of programming. We<br />
were one of the only<br />
local summer camps<br />
to operate with all the<br />
COVID restrictions<br />
during the summer of<br />
2020. The new safety<br />
measures and protocols were intense, but with dedicated<br />
staff we were successfully able to operate a seven-week<br />
camp program for children. Both the children and the<br />
parents needed this program, not only for the children’s<br />
wellbeing and mental health, but so the parents could<br />
continue to work.<br />
By August of 2020 New York State announced the new<br />
mandates for schools and the dreaded hybrid learning<br />
idea came to fruition. Parents were at a loss of what to do.<br />
Both their child’s education and the ability to continue<br />
to work and provide for their families was at stake. Many<br />
jobs require<br />
parents to leave<br />
the house or,<br />
if working<br />
remotely, do<br />
not allow<br />
time for much<br />
assistance with<br />
the demands of<br />
virtual leaning.<br />
The JCC’s<br />
mission is to<br />
provide quality<br />
programs to fit the needs of its families and we soon<br />
realized those needs were dramatically changing. The<br />
children’s programming team came together last year<br />
and was able to start a new program called Club J All<br />
Day. This program allowed children from the Jamesville-<br />
DeWitt School District to attend virtually on days when<br />
not physically in school. Trained staff were onsite and<br />
worked with the children to adapt to virtual learning<br />
and support them through this new school structure.<br />
It seemed like a win-win for many families. Not only<br />
would their child be supported while virtual learning<br />
they would also get some social interactions with other<br />
children going through the same thing.<br />
To say Club J All Day was difficult was an<br />
understatement. Children are not meant to sit in<br />
front of a screen all day to learn. They crave the faceto-face<br />
engagement and interaction that expands on<br />
their learning. JCC staff were amazed at the children’s<br />
resiliency as they continued to adapt and staff worked to<br />
motivate them.<br />
When the JCC heard the news last spring that the<br />
school district was beginning to bring back its students<br />
in-person full time it was bittersweet. The JCC staff knew<br />
getting back to school was best for the children’s learning,<br />
but they had created their own “school” and worked<br />
together through the hard times. JCC staffers would miss<br />
helping the children each day but were excited to still get<br />
to be a part of their day during the JCC’s After School<br />
<strong>Program</strong>.<br />
Isabella Balash, 3rd grader at Moses DeWitt<br />
elementary school said it best when on her last Club J<br />
day last spring she stated, “School will be good, but I will<br />
miss coming to Club J.” Children returning to school<br />
in-person full time is a step in the right direction for<br />
hopefully getting back to our new normal soon. In the<br />
meantime, the JCC will continue to change and adapt to<br />
meet the needs of its families and the community at large.<br />

How to Register<br />
Registration for the <strong>2021</strong>-2022 school year<br />
has been ongoing, and space is typically<br />
very limited. Each new school year requires<br />
registration. When a class is filled, based on<br />
New York State licensing requirements, a<br />
wait list is developed. Once the school year<br />
begins, children are admitted from the wait<br />
list on a space-available basis.<br />
There is a $36 wait list reservation fee.<br />
This does not guarantee placement in a<br />
classroom. We will notify you if a placement<br />
becomes available, and you will have 48<br />
hours to accept the placement.<br />
Withdrawals, changes<br />
Enrollment in ECDP is a commitment to<br />
our 10-month school year which consists<br />
of three sessions: September–November,<br />
December–February and March–June. Any<br />
withdrawals or enrollment changes must be<br />
made 30 days before the start of a session.<br />
For more information, and to schedule a<br />
tour, please call us at 315-445-2040, ext. 120.<br />
Infant Level<br />
We offer the highest quality of care to our<br />
youngest members in the Syracuse area. To<br />
maintain a developmentally appropriate<br />
environment for our infants, they are<br />
separated by age.<br />
The ECDP provides a responsive<br />
environment that supports and encourages<br />
exploration through a variety of classroom<br />
routines and experiences. Infant caregivers<br />
We are committed to developing the social, emotional, physical<br />
and intellectual well being of each child, allowing them to grow and<br />
flourish as productive members of the community. Our<br />
Hours<br />
Monday–Friday<br />
7 am – 6 pm<br />
focus on daily routines such as hellos and<br />
goodbyes, diapering and toileting, feeding,<br />
dressing and soothing to sleep as part of<br />
the curriculum. These one-on-one routines<br />
help to build positive relationships between<br />
infant and caregiver, promoting trust and<br />
allowing infants to feel secure in their<br />
environment.<br />
Once infants have developed a<br />
trusting relationship with their caregivers<br />
they will start to gain new skills and<br />
participate more actively in daily routines.<br />
The teachers are then able to provide<br />
intentional indoor and outdoor experiences<br />
that allow children to learn while imitating<br />
and pretending, connecting with music<br />
and movement, exploring with sand and<br />
water and creating with art.<br />
emphasis is on helping children become independent,<br />
self-confident, inquisitive and enthusiastic learners.<br />
Toddler Level<br />
• Must be 18-months old by September 9, <strong>2021</strong><br />
Toddler children are at an age when they<br />
establish secure attachments with their<br />
caregivers more quickly and are now eager<br />
to experience their world. They react to<br />
what they experience through their senses<br />
and physical activity. ECDP teachers<br />
provide intentional experiences for<br />
toddlers through a variety of indoor and<br />
outdoor experiences.<br />
Learning materials that match the<br />
children’s growing abilities and interests<br />
are provided and the children start to<br />
explore objects and begin to use them<br />
purposefully. While playing with toys,<br />
imitating and pretending, exploring<br />
sand and water, creating with art and<br />
going outdoors, the toddlers learn to<br />
communicate and socialize with peers and<br />
adults, to think mathematically and to<br />
discover like scientists.<br />
Toddlers start to enjoy special<br />
programming outside of the classroom<br />
setting, such as Toddler Tango and gym<br />
class. Toddlers are placed into classrooms<br />
according to their chronological age.<br />
Children do not need to be toilet trained,<br />
and when appropriate, toilet training will<br />
be incorporated into one of the goals for<br />
your child.<br />

Three-Year Old Level<br />
• Must be age 3 by December 1, <strong>2021</strong><br />
With kindergarten just two years away,<br />
this is an important time for every child<br />
to learn that the world is bigger than<br />
imagined. Children learn new skills<br />
and concepts through our thematic,<br />
hands-on approach to learning. Daily<br />
activities are carefully planned to<br />
promote children’s social, emotional and<br />
cognitive development. Our teachers are<br />
trained to recognize differences in rates<br />
of development within this age group,<br />
and individualize<br />
instruction to<br />
meet every child’s<br />
needs. Materials<br />
and activities are<br />
appropriately tailored<br />
in an effort to<br />
challenge children’s<br />
abilities while<br />
building their selfconfidence.<br />
Throughout the<br />
year, children will<br />
discover the wonder<br />
of the world they live in. All of our threeyear<br />
olds are actively engaged in group<br />
discussions, long-term studies, sensory<br />
play, cooking, process art and more. Our<br />
three-year olds are reading stories, singing<br />
songs and playing their way through the<br />
day. We also tailor gym time with our<br />
specialized gym instructor to the needs of<br />
our three-year olds. We play outside every<br />
day, weather permitting, on our beautiful<br />
fenced-in playgrounds.<br />
With all of these wonderful<br />
activities happening in our three-year<br />
old classrooms, the Early Childhood<br />
Development <strong>Program</strong> provides a well<br />
rounded and positive learning experience<br />
for your child.<br />
Pre-K Level<br />
• Must be age 4 by December 1, <strong>2021</strong><br />
Our oldest children explore the world<br />
through our hands-on, developmentally<br />
appropriate<br />
approach to<br />
learning. We<br />
include both<br />
child initiated<br />
play and<br />
teacher-directed<br />
academic<br />
experiences on<br />
a daily basis.<br />
Planned lessons<br />
and activities<br />
allow teachers<br />
to informally<br />
and continually assess each child in order<br />
to effectively modify and individualize<br />
instruction.<br />
Academically, we focus on exposing<br />
children to the skills and concepts needed<br />
to succeed in kindergarten. This includes<br />
creative expression, math and reading<br />
readiness, along with fine and gross motor<br />
skill development to help each child learn,<br />
grow and succeed. Each classroom is also<br />
equipped with a SMART board where the<br />
children are engaged in daily interactive<br />
lessons which promote creativity and<br />
critical thinking.<br />
Children at the Pre-K level attend field<br />
trips which coincide with what they are<br />
learning. In the fall our classes will visit<br />
the apple and pumpkin farms. Later in the<br />
school year the teachers will plan specific<br />
trips per their curriculums.<br />
FUNDRAISERS<br />
Square One Art<br />
In October the Early Childhood<br />
Department will be raising money using<br />
your child’s artwork! Parents can purchase<br />
coffee mugs, key chains, T-shirts and<br />
magnets that express their little one’s<br />
creativity. Order forms will be in your<br />
child’s mailbox.<br />
PJ Library<br />
PJ Library in CNY (PJ for pajamas), a JCC<br />
of Syracuse program, holds a monthly<br />
PJ Library day in ECDP. Children are<br />
encouraged to wear their pajamas to school<br />
when the PJ Library coordinator visits to<br />
read stories, sing songs and plan activities<br />
with the children. PJ Library offers free,<br />
high-quality Jewish books and music each<br />
month to parents raising Jewish children<br />
ages six months to eight years all across<br />
North America.<br />

JCC wraps up another successful summer camp season<br />
315-445-2360 | www.jccsyr.org<br />
With the relaxing of COVID-19<br />
restrictions at the start of this summer,<br />
things finally began to feel more “normal”<br />
again for the Sam Pomeranz Jewish<br />
Community Center’s summer camp.<br />
Hundreds of campers ranging in age from<br />
infants to school-age children—including<br />
many new faces—descended upon the<br />
JCC campus from June 28 – August 20 for<br />
the JCC’s Camp Joe and Lynne Romano.<br />
After last year’s “pandemic summer,” the<br />
children were excited to get back to being<br />
children again. “We were extremely pleased<br />
this summer to offer more offsite specialty<br />
camps for school-age children, schedule<br />
several outdoor field trips to public places<br />
after not offering any last summer, and to<br />
bring back our teen Counselor in Training<br />
(CIT) and Camp Aide programs,” said<br />
Pamela Ranieri, JCC director of children’s<br />
programming. From arts and crafts, games<br />
and swimming to water fun and more,<br />
there were plenty of laughs and excitement<br />
to go around<br />
for all JCC<br />
campers.<br />

Free nutrition counseling for seniors at the JCC<br />
Want to eat healthier to be healthier? If<br />
you’re age 60 or older or a caregiver for<br />
a senior, you are eligible to receive free<br />
nutrition counseling at the JCC.<br />
Nutrition counseling<br />
appointments are available the<br />
third Monday of every month<br />
from 11 a.m. to noon and from<br />
1–2 p.m. Registered Dietitian<br />
Laurie Zirilli, MA, RD, CDN,<br />
is a consulting dietitian for the<br />
Onondaga County Office for<br />
Aging and will provide this service at the<br />
JCC.<br />
Whether you are newly diagnosed with<br />
an illness that requires you to alter your<br />
eating habits, or just need to discuss proper<br />
nutrition, Zirilli is available<br />
to help. Again, there is no<br />
charge for this service, however<br />
voluntary contributions are<br />
accepted and appreciated.<br />
A nutrition counseling<br />
appointment is required to meet<br />
with Zirilli. To schedule an<br />
appointment, contact Cindy<br />
Stein at 315-445-2040, ext. 104, or email<br />
cstein@jccsyr.org.<br />
Do you know how to “Google” something,<br />
setup your email or keep track of<br />
appointments using an online calendar? If<br />
you’d like to become more proficient with<br />
these skills and many more computer, tablet<br />
or smartphone tools, then look to the JCC<br />
of Syracuse.<br />
Starting in November we’ll be rolling<br />
out our “Digital Basics” classes to help<br />
adults and seniors of any age become<br />
more proficient and confident in their use<br />
of technology. Each class will focus on a<br />
different aspect of your digital life—from<br />
Web browsing and email, to contacts and<br />
calendars. Learn what “The Cloud” is and<br />
how to best organize and find your files.<br />
The first set of Digital Basics classes will<br />
focus on using Google’s free software as<br />
an intro into the digital world with no<br />
extra purchase cost needed. Learn simple<br />
tricks and workflows that will help save<br />
you time and frustration. Look for future<br />
announcements and information posted<br />
on our website www.jccsyr.org about<br />
upcoming classes. For more information<br />
and suggestions on classes and content,<br />

Tap is coming back! After taking nearly<br />

instructor Barry Shulman is bringing back<br />
adult Tap Dance classes with some help<br />
from a second instructor, Angela Saturno.<br />

Fitness Center will hold weekly adult Tap<br />
Dance classes this fall on Tuesdays and<br />
Wednesdays from 6:30–8<br />

Rd., DeWitt. Shulman will<br />
teach the Advanced Tap<br />
Dance class on Tuesdays and<br />
Saturno will teach Beginner<br />
and Intermediate Tap on<br />
Wednesdays. The classes will<br />
run through Nov. 24.<br />
If you’ve ever wanted to<br />
try tap dancing, now is a great time. The<br />
JCC’s Tap classes are open to anyone age<br />
12 and older. No prior dance experience is<br />
necessary. The cost is $5 per person each<br />
night. Advance registration is not required,<br />
although tappers are asked to arrive early<br />
to sign in. A limited number of tap shoes<br />
are available to borrow at no cost each<br />
night on a first come, first served basis.<br />
Plenty of free parking is available.<br />
The Tap classes are taught “New<br />

commit to every class and can attend as<br />
much as they’d like.<br />

The Syracuse Chargers Track Club’s<br />
Everyone Can Run Beginners Running<br />
<strong>Program</strong> starts on Oct. 6 at the Sam<br />
Pomeranz Jewish Community Center’s<br />
Neulander Family Sports & Fitness Center.<br />
Greg Tuttle of the Syracuse Chargers, a<br />
USA Track & Field-certified coach, will<br />
lead the sessions<br />

indoor track.<br />
Patrick Scott, the JCC’s sports and<br />
fitness director, says this program is for<br />
everyone and that people of all fitness<br />
levels are welcome.<br />
“The Chargers do a great job of<br />
teaching people how to run properly,” he<br />
says. “The strength of your leg muscles,<br />
your bones, your body posture, your gait—<br />
all of these affect your stamina. By the end<br />
of the program, you will be able to run for<br />
30 minutes with relative ease.”<br />
The class will start with walking and<br />
the number of running intervals will<br />
increase every week<br />
on a set schedule.<br />
Each participant<br />
will also be given a<br />
Syracuse Chargers<br />
pedometer and a twoweek<br />
trial pass to the<br />
JCC’s Fitness Center.<br />
