November <strong>2021</strong><br />
Dear Friends,<br />
What a difference a year makes. Last year we were unsure<br />
of what our future would be and what our “new normal”<br />
would look like. We are pleased to say that our “new normal”<br />
is a vibrant and, quite frankly, a thriving JCC. It may be one<br />
of masks, COVID screenings and cautions, but we are in fact<br />
thriving. If this past year has taught us anything it’s that we<br />
must hold true to our core mission and continue meeting the<br />
needs of our community.<br />
Enrollment in our early childhood program, camps, after<br />
school program and children’s sports classes is healthy. Seniors<br />
are once again enjoying delicious kosher lunches in-person<br />
five days a week. Our Fitness Center is open and offers many<br />
virtual and in-person classes.<br />
Although we are saddened that some Fitness members<br />
have not renewed their memberships because of the pandemic,<br />
we are seeing a cautious shift to renewal. Some members<br />
have returned with the COVID vaccine rollout and the JCC’s<br />
recent policy requiring all staff to be fully vaccinated. In<br />
addition, our board of directors voted in September to make<br />
our building accessible for vaccinated individuals only. This<br />
courageous decision was made to protect our membership, the<br />
children, seniors and staff.<br />
We are optimistic and enthusiastic about the future. Our<br />
childcare enrollment is thriving. More and more individuals<br />
are coming back to the “J.” We are excitedly planning<br />
our 20<strong>22</strong> Annual Meeting and Gala on May <strong>22</strong> at Owera<br />
Vineyards. Things are finally starting to move forward.<br />
As always, but especially now, your JCC needs your<br />
support. Whether through your membership, tax-deductible<br />
donation or frankly both, your generosity will allow us<br />
to continue being the “town square” of our community.<br />
The place where a child is raised in our Early Childhood<br />
Development <strong>Program</strong>, then attends our after school program<br />
and summer camp, holds their first job as a lifeguard or camp<br />
counselor, and then sends their own children to our programs.<br />
Please help to perpetuate this lifecycle by supporting your<br />
JCC now and forever. Help us maintain our long tradition<br />
of serving the diverse needs of our community. You can be<br />
proud of how well we have adapted and be assured that your<br />
generous donation will positively impact many lives.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Marci Erlebacher<br />
Executive Director<br />
Steven Sisskind<br />
Board President<br />

Supporting Your Center<br />
Your continued financial<br />
contributions, gifts, grants and<br />
endowments allow us to serve<br />
you, your family and the larger<br />
community six days per week,<br />
year round. Funds raised are<br />
critical to daily operations, special<br />
programming, future development<br />
and improvements, and<br />
scholarships and financial aid.<br />
Matching gifts<br />
Many companies in the Syracuse area have<br />
matching gift programs, which encourage<br />
charitable giving by their employees.<br />
Under these programs, companies match<br />
gifts—often dollar for dollar or even two<br />
dollars to one—that individuals make to<br />
nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations. Your<br />
gift to the JCC may qualify. Please check<br />
with your company 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 />
End-of-Year Donation<br />
Designate your United Way<br />
donation to support the JCC<br />
If you participate in the United Way<br />
Community Campaign where you work<br />
or as an individual donor, please consider<br />
designating all or part of your gift to<br />
the JCC of Syracuse. This can easily be<br />
done on your pledge card. Your generous<br />
contribution to the JCC through the<br />
United Way donor program will go a long<br />
way in supporting your JCC.<br />
Volunteer<br />
An agency such as the JCC is dependent<br />
on the enthusiasm and willingness of<br />
members of the community who volunteer<br />
their time and talent. Volunteers are<br />
invaluable in bringing vital perspective,<br />
experience, community and manpower to<br />
complement those of our staff members.<br />
Public support is imperative to the JCC of Syracuse’s survival. The center depends<br />
on these donations for a full 7% of its annual budget. We recently mailed out<br />
our end-of-year campaign letters<br />
requesting your generous support. For<br />
your convenience, a copy of this letter<br />
is reprinted on page 3 along with the<br />
form to use for making a tax-deductible<br />
end-of-year contribution if you haven’t<br />
already done so. No gift is too small<br />
and all donations to the JCC are greatly<br />
appreciated!<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 />
essential programs and services.<br />
JCC families and members can help<br />
by giving generously to the Jewish<br />
Federation of CNY campaign.<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 />

Early Childhood Development <strong>Program</strong><br />
How Young Children Learn<br />
Much of what children learn and do in<br />
an early childhood program doesn’t come<br />
home in a backpack. Young children<br />
learn best through hands-on and direct<br />
interactive experiences. This type of<br />
learning happens through play and<br />
exploration.<br />
The Jerome and Phyllis Charney Early<br />
Childhood Development <strong>Program</strong> uses the<br />
Creative Curriculum paired with the NYS<br />
Early Learning <strong>Guide</strong>lines, using a Reggio<br />
Emilia inspired approach to learning.<br />
The Reggio Emilia Approach is an<br />
innovative and inspiring approach to<br />
early childhood education which values<br />
the child as strong, capable, resilient and<br />
rich with wonder and knowledge. Every<br />
child brings with them deep curiosity and<br />
potential, and this innate curiosity drives<br />
their interest to understand their world<br />
and their place within it.<br />

I, the undersigned primary member, for myself and all<br />
persons listed above, hereby agree to the following:<br />
I am applying for membership with the Jewish<br />
Community Center (JCC) of Syracuse. I agree to<br />
abide by its rules and bylaws. I understand that all<br />
members 18 years and older may participate in the<br />
JCC’s annual meeting.<br />
I understand that membership dues are payable in full<br />
at the time of joining or renewal unless a payment plan<br />
has been approved in advance. A payment plan only<br />
specifies the manner in which payments will be made<br />
and does not reflect a month-to-month membership<br />
commitment. If paying by monthly automatic payments<br />
from a credit card, I authorize the JCC of Syracuse to<br />
automatically charge my credit card account for each<br />
consecutive month of the plan.<br />
I understand that membership dues are automatically<br />
renewed each year unless I give notice in writing.<br />
Note that the JCC of Syracuse reserves the right to<br />
cancel a membership for any reason at any time with<br />
appropriate notice. I understand that membership<br />
is not transferable and membership dues are<br />
non-refundable.<br />
Trial and discounted promotional memberships are not<br />
eligible for child care or other program discounts.<br />
I have read and agree with these membership terms<br />
as acknowledged by my signature below.<br />

combination of constructive play, child- and counselor-led activities,<br />
active play and Judaic culture. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged<br />
to become vital members of our programs.<br />
Busy families looking for the right place<br />
for their children to go after school need<br />
only look to the JCC! Our licensed After<br />

Children may attend up to five days a<br />

for Syracuse Hebrew Day School students<br />
to get to the program. Students from<br />

Fayetteville-Manlius and area private<br />
schools. In some cases, the JCC’s own bus<br />
provides transportation to the program.<br />

Order your 20<strong>22</strong> Mah Jongg cards!<br />
The Sam Pomeranz Jewish Community<br />
Center is taking preorders for next<br />
year’s National Mah Jongg League cards.<br />
Available in both standard and large print<br />
sizes for $9 and $10, respectively, sales of<br />
the 20<strong>22</strong> cards will benefit the JCC’s Senior<br />
Meal <strong>Program</strong>. The order deadline is<br />
January 14, 20<strong>22</strong>.<br />
“Anyone in<br />

Mah Jongg<br />
cards through<br />
the JCC,” says<br />
Cindy Stein,<br />
JCC director of<br />
adult and senior<br />
programming.<br />
“It’s very<br />
convenient and<br />
a portion of the proceeds will help support<br />
our senior program. You don’t have to be a<br />
JCC member or play Mah Jongg at the JCC<br />
to place an order.”<br />
All card orders will be mailed by the<br />
National Mah Jongg League directly to<br />
purchasers’ homes by mid-March. Card<br />
purchasers will automatically receive a<br />
one-year membership in the National Mah<br />
Jongg League.<br />
Mah Jongg players finally returned to<br />
the JCC last summer after more than a<br />
yearlong hiatus. The games have been fun<br />
and engaging, and the players are glad to<br />
finally be back.<br />
Join the fun! Come play Mah Jongg<br />
at the JCC on<br />
Thursdays<br />
from 11 a.m.<br />
to 2:30 p.m.<br />

<strong>Program</strong> was postponed last fall due to<br />
concerns over the pandemic. It will now<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 />
