November 2021 

Dear Friends, 

What a difference a year makes. Last year we were unsure 

of what our future would be and what our “new normal” 

would look like. We are pleased to say that our “new normal” 

is a vibrant and, quite frankly, a thriving JCC. It may be one 

of masks, COVID screenings and cautions, but we are in fact 

thriving. If this past year has taught us anything it’s that we 

must hold true to our core mission and continue meeting the 

needs of our community. 

Enrollment in our early childhood program, camps, after 

school program and children’s sports classes is healthy. Seniors 

are once again enjoying delicious kosher lunches in-person 

five days a week. Our Fitness Center is open and offers many 

virtual and in-person classes. 

Although we are saddened that some Fitness members 

have not renewed their memberships because of the pandemic, 

we are seeing a cautious shift to renewal. Some members 

have returned with the COVID vaccine rollout and the JCC’s 

recent policy requiring all staff to be fully vaccinated. In 

addition, our board of directors voted in September to make 

our building accessible for vaccinated individuals only. This 

courageous decision was made to protect our membership, the 

children, seniors and staff. 

We are optimistic and enthusiastic about the future. Our 

childcare enrollment is thriving. More and more individuals 

are coming back to the “J.” We are excitedly planning 

our 2022 Annual Meeting and Gala on May 22 at Owera 

Vineyards. Things are finally starting to move forward. 

As always, but especially now, your JCC needs your 

support. Whether through your membership, tax-deductible 

donation or frankly both, your generosity will allow us 

to continue being the “town square” of our community. 

The place where a child is raised in our Early Childhood 

Development Program, then attends our after school program 

and summer camp, holds their first job as a lifeguard or camp 

counselor, and then sends their own children to our programs. 

Please help to perpetuate this lifecycle by supporting your 

JCC now and forever. Help us maintain our long tradition 

of serving the diverse needs of our community. You can be 

proud of how well we have adapted and be assured that your 

generous donation will positively impact many lives. 

Sincerely, 

Marci Erlebacher 

Executive Director 

Steven Sisskind 

Board President

Supporting Your Center 

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. 

Matching gifts 

Many companies in the Syracuse area 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 company 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 26.) 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. 

End-of-Year Donation 

Designate your United Way 

donation to support the JCC 

If you participate in the United Way 

Community Campaign where you work 

or as an individual donor, please consider 

designating all or part of your gift to 

the JCC of Syracuse. This can easily be 

done on your pledge card. Your generous 

contribution to the JCC through the 

United Way donor program will go a long 

way in supporting your JCC. 

Volunteer 

An agency such as the JCC is dependent 

on the enthusiasm and willingness of 

members of the community who volunteer 

their time and talent. Volunteers are 

invaluable in bringing vital perspective, 

experience, community and manpower to 

complement those of our staff members. 

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. We recently mailed out 

our end-of-year campaign letters 

requesting your generous support. For 

your convenience, a copy of this letter 

is reprinted on page 3 along with the 

form to use for making a tax-deductible 

end-of-year contribution if you haven’t 

already done so. No gift is too small 

and all donations to the JCC are greatly 

appreciated! 

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. 

Senior Adult Dining Program 

Our Bobbi Epstein Lewis Senior Adult 

Dining Program (see page 21) 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.

How Young Children Learn 

Much of what children learn and do in 

an early childhood program doesn’t come 

home in a backpack. Young children 

learn best through hands-on and direct 

interactive experiences. This type of 

learning happens through play and 

exploration. 

The Jerome and Phyllis Charney Early 

Childhood Development Program uses the 

Creative Curriculum paired with the NYS 

Early Learning Guidelines, using a Reggio 

Emilia inspired approach to learning. 

The Reggio Emilia Approach is an 

innovative and inspiring approach to 

early childhood education which values 

the child as strong, capable, resilient and 

rich with wonder and knowledge. Every 

child brings with them deep curiosity and 

potential, and this innate curiosity drives 

their interest to understand their world 

and their place within it. 

REGGIO-INSPIRED 

CREATIVE CURRICULUM 

The Reggio-inspired Creative 

Curriculum for infants, toddlers 

and twos 

There is an emphasis on the following 

routines and experiences: 

Routines 

• Hellos & goodbyes 

• Diapering & toileting 

• Eating & mealtimes 

• Sleeping & naptimes 

• Getting dressed 

Experiences 

• Playing with toys 

• Enjoying songs & stories 

• Imitating & pretending 

• Connecting with music & movement 

• Creating with art 

• Tasting & preparing food 

• Exploring sand & water 

• Going outdoors 

The Reggio-inspired Creative 

Curriculum for preschoolers 

There is an emphasis on the following 

experiences and the teachers intentionally 

tie in math, literacy, social studies and 

science. 

• Dramatic play 

• Blocks 

• Art 

• Sensory experiences 

• Read aloud 

• Cooking 

• Music & movement 

• Outdoors 

For more information about our 

curriculum and approaches to learning,

Development Program section on the JCC’s

commitment. If paying by monthly automatic payments 

from a credit card, I authorize the JCC of Syracuse to 

automatically charge my credit card account for each 

consecutive month of the plan. 

I understand that membership dues are automatically 

renewed each year unless I give notice in writing. 

Note that the JCC of Syracuse reserves the right to 

cancel a membership for any reason at any time with 

appropriate notice. I understand that membership 

is not transferable and membership dues are 

non-refundable.

We provide a dynamic array of programs and activities for school-age 

children in a safe, nurturing, flexible and welcoming environment that 

supports their families’ needs. Programming focuses on a healthy 

combination of constructive play, child- and counselor-led activities, 

active play and Judaic culture. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged 

to become vital members of our programs. 

Busy families looking for the right place 

for their children to go after school need 

only look to the JCC! Our licensed After 

School Program is a great place for kids in 

grades K–6 to go for fun, educational and 

recreational activities.

schools. In some cases, the JCC’s own bus 

provides transportation to the program. 

For all the quality and value that we 

offer, you’re sure to agree there’s no other 

place like JCC!

JCC to offer beginners computer class Dec. 5 

Do you know how to “Google” something, 

setup your email or keep track of 

appointments using an online calendar? 

If you’d like to 

become more 

proficient with 

these skills and 

many more 

computer, tablet 

or smartphone 

tools, then the 

Sam Pomeranz 

Jewish 

Community 

Center of 

Syracuse wants 

to help. 

The JCC 

of Syracuse will hold a “Digital Basics” 

computer class on Sunday, December 5 

from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the center 

on 5655 Thompson Rd., DeWitt. The 

class will focus on using Google’s free 

software as an 

introduction 

to the digital 

world and 

teach simple 

tricks and 

workflows to 

help save time 

and frustration. 

The cost is $25 

and registration 

is required by 

calling the JCC 

at 315-445- 

2360. 

A limited number of laptop computers 

will be available to borrow, however 

attendees are encouraged to bring their 

own laptops to the class. Additional 

“Digital Basics” classes will be offered in 

the future to help adults and seniors of any 

age become more proficient and confident 

in their use of technology. Future classes 

will focus on different aspects of your 

digital life—from Web browsing, email and 

contacts to calendars and saving files in 

the “cloud.” The “Digital Basics” instructor 

is Alec Erlebacher, founder and owner of 

the local technology and media company 

Smart Alec Support. 

Look for future announcements and 

information about upcoming classes 

posted on the JCC website www.jccsyr.org.

our senior program. You don’t have to be a 

JCC member or play Mah Jongg at the JCC 

to place an order.” 

All card orders will be mailed by the 

National Mah Jongg League directly to 

purchasers’ homes by mid-March. Card 

purchasers will automatically receive a 

one-year membership in the National Mah 

Jongg League. 

Mah Jongg players finally returned to 

the JCC last summer after more than a 

yearlong hiatus. The games have been fun 

and engaging, and the players are glad to 

finally be back. 

Join the fun! Come play Mah Jongg 

at the JCC on 

Thursdays 

from 11 a.m. 

to 2:30 p.m. 

Proof of COVID 

vaccination 

required —please
