2019 

Pool Guide 

ATTENTION JCC OF SYRACUSE MEMBERS: 

Please remember to use your membership card to enter the building on Saturdays and access the pools. Don’t 

have a membership card? Stop by the Fitness desk to get yours, call 315-445-2360 or email info@jccsyr.org. 

Welcome JCC Members 

Are you ready for the 

2019 outdoor swimming 

season? The JCC’s 

outdoor heated pools are 

a great gathering place for 

members and their guests 

to cool off, relax and 

exercise. 

Make the most of your membership by using the 

pool to its fullest this summer. Come swim after 

work, on weekends with family and friends or after 

early morning workouts. Incorporating the pool 

into your personal fitness training will add a new 

dimension to your exercise routine. 

Pool rules 

1. Upon entering the pool area, all swimmers must 

check in at the lifeguard desk. 

2. No swimming without a lifeguard on duty 

3. No glass containers of any kind are allowed in 

the pool area (food, beverages, lotions, etc.). 

4. No food or gum is allowed in the pool area at 

anytime. Beverages are allowed and must be in a 

can, plastic bottle or paper cup. Please help keep 

the pool area clean and free of bugs by promptly 

placing all garbage in trash receptacles. 

5. No running, pushing or boisterous play. 

6. No urination, defecation, spitting or nose blowing. 

7. Persons with rashes, open sores, inflamed eyes 

and/or communicable diseases are not allowed 

in the pool. Remove all bandages before entering 

the pool area. 

8. Shower before and after using the pool. 

9. Diving is permitted only in the designated area at 

the deep end of the large pool. 

10. The decision of the lifeguards in all matters 

concerning the pool and the enforcement of 

these rules is final. 

Children and the pool 

1. All children under age 15 must be supervised at 

the pool by an adult, sibling or babysitter age 15 

or older. 

Like last year, we’re offering several aquatics 

programs throughout the summer (details on the 

pages that follow). They include learn-to-swim 

group lessons, private and semi-private swimming 

lessons, and children’s pool parties. 

Because the JCC pool is a members-only benefit 

(guests are welcome when accompanied by a 

member, see below), please remember to bring 

your membership card to the pool and check-in at 

the lifeguard desk upon entering the pool area. If 

you have any questions or comments regarding 

the pool, please contact us at 315-445-2360. 

Thank you for being a JCC of Syracuse member. 

We hope to see you pool side! 

2. Children who are unable to stand with their heads 

completely above the water in the pool’s shallow 

end must be accompanied in the water by a 

supervising adult, sibling or babysitter age 15 or 

older, unless they pass a test with the lifeguard. 

The test consists of swimming two widths of the 

pool and treading water for 30 seconds. 

3. Swimming accessories such as inflatable toys, 

kickboards, water noodles etc. may only be used 

in either pool with permission from the lifeguard. 

Permission may be denied if the pool is crowded 

or if items are deemed potential safety hazards. 

4. No child is allowed in the small pool unless 

accompanied by an adult, sibling or babysitter 

age 15 or older. 

5. The small pool is intended for non-swimmers. 

It is not to be used as a play area by those with 

swimming ability. At the lifeguard’s discretion, 

older children may be asked to leave the small 

pool. 

6. Children who are not toilet trained must wear 

disposable diapers and plastic pants or special 

swimming diapers while in the pool. 

7. Lifeguards have the final authority regarding 

safety issues in the pool and pool area.

Choose the path that brings honor 

By Rabbi Andrew Pepperstone 

Congregation Beth Sholom-Chevra Shas 

During the summer months, between 

Passover and Shavuot, there is a custom 

to study a particular work of the Rabbinic 

Sages called Pirkei Avot, which is filled 

with ethical and moral teachings. 

In the beginning of the second chapter 

of Pirkei Avot, Rabbi Judah 

the Prince asks a big question: 

“What is the correct path that a 

human being should choose?” 

Of course, he is not asking 

about how to get around in 

the woods, trying to figure out 

which path one should take to 

get through them. Rabbi Judah 

is asking the big question: What is the 

right way for a human being to live their 

life? At any given moment, how should we 

choose what to do? 

Rabbi Judah offers the following 

answer: “That which brings honor (tiferet) 

to one’s Maker, as well as honor (tiferet) 

from humanity. And be as attentive with a 

minor commandment as with a major one, 

because you don’t know the reward for each.” 

Rabbi Judah’s answer is fascinating, 

combining a human-divine axis with 

a human-human axis, and in essence 

combining them together. For Rabbi Judah, 

one cannot serve God without serving 

humanity. Or, perhaps to put it another 

way, one only serves God when one serves 

humanity in a way that brings honor. 

Over the generations, many other 

rabbis have studied Rabbi Judah’s teaching 

and have added their own insights to his 

teaching. Rabbi Ovadia from 

Bartenura (Spain) focuses on 

the use of the word for honor, 

which in Hebrew is tiferet. 

Tiferet can mean honor, and 

it also has roots in other areas 

of Jewish thought. In Jewish 

mystical teachings, God is 

understood to have two main 

aspects, chesed/lovingkindness and 

gevurah/strength or discipline. Each 

one alone is insufficient. Love without 

discipline is chaos. Discipline without love 

is cruel. The balance of these two qualities 

is called Tiferet, a harmonious balance 

between love and strength, between freeflowing 

compassion and structure. Rabbi 

Ovadia thinks that Rabbi Judah is calling 

for people to find a middle path between 

the extremes on either side. 

Another sage, Rabbi Yonah comments 

on Rabbi Judah’s focus on bringing honor 

to humanity. For Rabbi Yonah, it is all 

about doing the right thing for someone 

at the right time, which creates honor, 

beauty and balance. For example, if 

someone is sick in the hospital, and has 

made it clear that they do not want visitors, 

that is their right. But if someone says, 

“Well, I cannot visit them later on, so I 

will go now, even though they don’t want 

visitors.” That person has not brought the 

recovering person honor. On the surface, 

they have fulfilled the commandment to 

visit the sick, but at the completely wrong 

time. They made visiting the sick about 

themselves, and not about the person who 

is recovering. 

This summer, when you have a choice 

to make between two or more options, you 

can ask yourself Rabbi Judah’s question: 

Will this choice bring honor to my Maker 

and to humanity? Is this a choice of an 

extreme nature or is it along a balanced 

middle path? Is this a choice I am making 

for my interests alone or for the sake of 

others as well? Every choice we make has a 

consequence, even the smallest of choices 

can have a large impact.

The JCC of Syracuse is a great place for

kosher meal on Monday evenings 

all summer long. 

The JCC’s Dr. Morton and Mrs. 

Libby Maloff Summer Senior Dinner 

program will kick off on June 17. The 

weekly dinners will be held on Mondays 

at 5 p.m. at the JCC of Syracuse on 5655 

Thompson Rd. in DeWitt. A variety of live

Registration is required the Wednesday

“We’re very excited to be starting up 

our senior dinner program again this 

summer,” said Marci Erlebacher, JCC 

of Syracuse executive director. “This 

wonderful gathering allows seniors to get 

together and socialize over a delicious and 

affordable kosher meal.” 

The JCC’s weekly summer dinners are 

an additional component to its successful 

Bobbi Epstein Lewis Senior Adult Dining 

Program. The dinner program was 

renamed three years ago after the late 

Dr. Morton and Mrs. Libby Maloff thanks 

to a generous gift from their surviving 

family members. 

The weekday senior lunches at the JCC 

will continue at noon Tuesdays through 

Fridays during those weeks the summer 

dinners are held. The lunch program 

offers seniors age 60 and over a nutritious 

and well-balanced kosher meal for a $4 

suggested contribution. 

The JCC Senior 

Adult Dining Program 

is the only senior 

nutrition program 

available outside of 

New York City serving 

kosher meals five days 

per week. The program 

is funded in part by 

the Onondaga County 

Department of Aging 

and Youth and the New York State Office 

for the Aging and Administration for 

Community Living. For more information, 

and to register for a lunch or dinner, call 

315-445-2360.

community program, call 315-445-2360.

Your guide to personal training 

Have you ever walked through the JCC 

Fitness Center’s front door, looked around, 

and thought to yourself, “Well now what 

do I do?” Or do you have an idea of what 

you need to be doing, but are getting tired 

of the same old routine? A personal trainer 

might be just what you need to keep seeing 

the results you want. 


Even if you have made some progress, 

but have plateaued recently, a personal 

trainer can help evaluate where you 

are now, where you want to go, and 

recommend the best plan to get you there. 

Whether your goals 

are as simple as 

improving balance 

and flexibility, 

or training for a 

bodybuilding show, 

a personal trainer 

can help you. All 

of our trainers 

here at the JCC are 

nationally certified, 

and ready to help 

you get the results 

you have been 

working towards.

endurance, flexibility, coordination, balance, power and 

core stability across a wide range of resistance.

looking forward to making this a fun,

younger adults.” 

The kickball league

JCC that was recently 

started by volunteers 

Brian Raphael and Adam 

Goldberg. The kickball 

league’s team captains are

to give young Jews 

in Central New York 

an outlet for coming 

together and making 

connections through events and outings,” 

said Raphael. “We’re really excited to 

get the kickball league started and bring 

people together socially for some fun 

and excitement. If anyone is interested 

in helping out with the league, we would 

certainly welcome the assistance.”

educational programming. And 

Caravan members will perform 

a private hour-long show for the

Seniors: Does your health insurance plan include a gym membership? 

Each teen brings his or her life 

experiences to this entertaining show. 

Their stage show is filled with enthusiasm 

that is palpable and contagious. The show 

will take you on a voyage of sounds and 

images that represent Israel’s people, 

cultures, heritage and landmarks. 

After the show, Caravan 

members will mingle with the 

audience to provide further 

opportunities for face-to-face 

interaction, exchange of ideas 

and friendship. Organizers are 

delighted to share this special 

experience within the Central 

New York region. 

This year’s performances

anniversaries, weddings, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, or to perpetuate the 

memory of a loved one—the JCC welcomes tax-deductible gifts to 

one of our many endowments and special funds. The JCC will send 

an acknowledgement card to the individual (or next of kin) in whose 

name the contribution was made. Some of our funds are listed below.
