Letter from the President/Capital Campaign update<br />
Thanks to our community, Reflections, our annual gala, was a great success. Reflections celebrated<br />
its 5th year with over 450 people in attendance who enjoyed the food, the amazing live auction, the<br />
dancing, and the celebration! There were heartfelt speeches from our incredible honorees - Andy<br />
and Audrey Franklin and Danny and Karli Sherwinter. Our community came together and raised over<br />
$110,000 to support ongoing operations and programming that we all enjoy at the <strong>JCC</strong>. Where would<br />
we be without this wonderfully vibrant and generous community?<br />
As we continue to grow, we look forward to our move to the new facility. Because of our success in 2011, we are on track<br />
to break ground in <strong>2012</strong>. To those of you who have already made a commitment to our future, thank you. If you have not<br />
yet joined us and would like more information, please contact me at susanrona@boulderjcc.org, or our executive director,<br />
Jonathan Lev, at jonathan@boulderjcc.org.<br />
Please stay updated on the progress of the building at www.boulderjccbuilding.org. You can also register to receive updates<br />
and be advised when we are presenting to the City of <strong>Boulder</strong>. We would love to have our supporters out in big numbers for<br />
those meetings. Thanks so much for being part of what makes <strong>Boulder</strong> so special.<br />
Susan<br />
Letter from the executive director<br />
Greetings. As the Executive Director of the <strong>Boulder</strong> <strong>JCC</strong>, it is my great honor and pleasure to lead this<br />
organization as we continue to grow our wonderful programming and enhance our ability to bring the Jewish<br />
community together. Let me take a moment to celebrate with you many of our great accomplishments over<br />

<strong>Boulder</strong> <strong>JCC</strong> event.<br />
• Established a formal Building Committee and a Design Advisory Group to work in conjunction with the architects on the<br />
new facility and hired a Project Manager, Architects, and Construction Firm.<br />
• Finalized design plans for the new <strong>Boulder</strong> <strong>JCC</strong> and selected architects, an owner’s representative, and contractors.<br />
• Enhanced the reputation of the Boudler <strong>JCC</strong> in our community with several news articles published about us, a “go<br />
to” booth at the <strong>Boulder</strong> Jewish Festival, and the implementation of new outreach programs that reached over 2500<br />
participants.<br />
• Launched summer and winter specialty day camp programs that reached over 115 campers.<br />
• Enrolled 94 children in our preschool – the highest number ever.<br />

attendance ever by <strong>Boulder</strong> women at the Choices event.<br />
• Established the <strong>Boulder</strong> Jewish Teen Council of JTeen and opened a teen lounge.<br />
• Upgraded our library system to enable a fully online searchable database.<br />
• Won an award for our participation in the Crayons to Calculators program as “Community Partner – Honorable Mention.”<br />

Jewish Holidays<br />
The months of March, April, and May are chock-full of<br />
Jewish holidays. While some are most likely familiar<br />
(Purim and Passover are examples) others might<br />
be less well-known. The following information was<br />
gleaned from Wikipedia, Jewish Literacy by Rabbi<br />
Joseph Telushkin, and www.myjewishlearning.com.<br />
Heard it all before? Take the quiz at the bottom on the<br />
next page to see how much you really know!<br />
Purim (March 7-8)<br />
Purim, literally the Feast of Lots, is a joyous holiday that recounts the saving of the Jews of Persia from a potential massacre at<br />
the hands of Haman, the Vizier to King Ahasuerus. The story is recorded in the Book Of Esther, (Megilat Esther) which is found<br />
in the Writings section of the Old Testament. The holiday is traditionally celebrated by hearing a recitation of the megilla (story),<br />
additional prayers being added to the Grace after the meal, giving gifts of food and drink (mishloach manot), giving gifts to<br />
the poor (matanot l’evyonim) enjoying a celebratory meal (se’udah). Other customs include drinking wine, wearing masks and<br />
costumes, and public celebration. In Walled Cities, people celebrate Purim on the 15th of Adar rather than the 14th. This later<br />
celebration is called Shushan Purim.<br />
Passover (April 6-14)<br />
Passover (Pesach) is the holiday that commemorates the Exodus of the Jews from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Land of<br />
Israel. The name Passover comes from the legend that the Angel of Death “passed over” the houses of the Israelites during the 10<br />
Plagues, saving the Jewish sons from death while the Egyptian first born males perished. Passover is one of the most observed<br />
Jewish holidays in America today, with many Jews choosing to attend a Seder, eat matzah, and do a thorough spring cleaning to<br />
rid one’s house of any chametz (leavened foods) for the duration of the holiday. Passover is one of the three Pilgrimage Holidays<br />
(Shalosh Regalim) where, in ancient times, Jews would come to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices. Since the destruction of the Temple,<br />
Passover has become a home-based holiday.<br />
yom HaShoah (April 19)<br />
The full name of this modern day holiday is Yom Ha’Shoah v’ha Gevurah (Holocaust Memorial Day and the Day of Remembering<br />
Acts of Courage). At 11 am on the 27th of Nissan, a siren is sounded for 2 minutes and all citizens are asked to stop and stand<br />
at attention. People driving will get out of their cars and stand beside them (even on the highway!) There wasn’t a specific act of<br />
the Holocaust that took place on the 27th of Nissan that the holiday commemorates; however, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was<br />
fought during this time.<br />
yom HaZikaron, observed (April 25)<br />
Yom HaZikaron is Israel’s Memorial Day. The observance begins the night before when at 8 pm, a siren blasts for one minute<br />
and all citizens are asked to stand in silence, commemorate the fallen and show respect. A two-minute siren is heard at 11:00 the<br />
following morning, which marks the opening of the official memorial ceremonies and private remembrance gatherings at each<br />
cemetery where soldiers are buried. Many Israelis visit the resting places of loved ones throughout the day. The holiday ends with<br />
the start of the next holiday on the list, Yom Ha’Atzmaut.<br />
yom Ha’Atzmaut, observed (April 26)<br />
Yom Ha’Atzmaut is Israeli Independence Day and commemorates the Declaration of Israeli Statehood on May 14, 1948. It<br />
intentionally falls 24 hours after Yom HaZikaron so Israelis experience the sadness of remembering those lost in war to the joy of<br />
becoming an autonomous people in the historic Land of Israel.<br />

Lag B’omer (May 10)<br />
Lag B’Omer falls on the 33rd day of the counting of the Omer, which begins on the second night of Passover. The time between<br />
Passover and Shavuot is a time of semi-mourning, and traditional Jews do not celebrate weddings at this time and men will not<br />
shave their beards until Lag B’Omer. While the origins of this holiday are somewhat unclear, many use it to commemorate Rabbi<br />
Akiba, who was a supporter of the Bar Kochba revolt against the Romans. Today, it is celebrated by lighting a bonfire and playing<br />
with bows and arrows in the great outdoors.<br />
yom yerushalayim (May 20)<br />
Yom Yerushalayim is an Israeli National Holiday that celebrates the reunification of Jerusalem. When the War of Independence<br />
concluded in 1948, Israel had control over much of the city of Jerusalem, but the Old City, including the Kotel (Western Wall) was<br />
controlled by the Jordanians. For 19 years, Israelis were not permitted to enter the Old City, but that changed after the Israeli<br />
victory in the Six Day War. In 1967, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel declared Jerusalem Day a minor religious holiday to thank God<br />
for victory in the Six-Day War and for answering the 2,000-year-old prayer of “Next Year in Jerusalem”.<br />
Shavuot (May 26-28)<br />
Shavuot (Weeks) celebrates the Jews receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai. The date of Shavuot is closely related to Passover,<br />
since it marks the conclusion of the counting of the Omer, which begins on the second night of Passover. This counting of days<br />
and weeks is understood to express anticipation and desire for the Giving of the Torah. It is customary to celebrate Shavuot by<br />
staying up all night studying and Ashkenazic Jews celebrate by eating dairy products like blintzes and cheesecake. Traditionally,<br />
Shavuot is celebrated in Israel for one day but in the Diaspora for two days.<br />
Quiz<br />
How many times is G-d’s name mentioned in the Book of Esther?<br />
a) 0 b) 18 c) 100 d) 180<br />
The word seder means<br />
a) Story b) Order c) Plague d) Service<br />
Had the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) not selected the 27th of Nissan to observe Yom Ha’Shoah, what other dates might<br />
have been chosen?<br />
a) T’sha B’Av (the date commemorating the destruction of the Temple)<br />
b) The 10th of Tevet (the day the walls of the Temple were breeched)<br />
c) None, new holidays shouldn’t be created<br />
d) The 15th of Nissan (the first night of Passover)<br />
Why are Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’Atzmaut listed as “observed” and not any other of the holidays on this list?<br />
Which of the following is NOT one of the Shalosh Regalim (three pilgrimage holidays)?<br />
a) Shavuot b) Passover c) Rosh HaShanah d) Sukkot<br />
Which holiday is the newest addition to the Jewish calendar?<br />
a)Yom Ha’Atzmaut b) Yom Yerushalayim c) Yom HaZikaron d) Lag B’Omer<br />
True or False: Shavuot has no mitzvot (Torah-prescribed commandments) associated with it.<br />
A B ALL OF THE ABOVE! Most interesting to the author is D. April 19, 1943 was the date the Warsaw Uprising<br />
began, however, it was also the 15th of Nissan, the first night of Passover! Due to this fact, the Knesset decided against<br />
observing Yom HaShoah on this date. Shabbat impacts the dates of the holiday! The holidays are always celebrated on the<br />
4th and 5th of Iyar except for years in which the 5th of Iyar is Shabbat (like this year!) C B TRUE! Shavuot has many<br />
customs, but no commandments that outline how the holiday should be observed.<br />

This stunning 2006 documentary tells the<br />
epic story of the systematic theft, deliberate<br />
destruction, and miraculous survival of Europe’s<br />
art treasures during the Third Reich and WWII. The<br />
film takes the audience on a journey through seven<br />
countries into a violent whirlwind of fanaticism,<br />
greed, and warfare that threatened to wipe out the<br />
artistic heritage of Europe. Joan Allen narrates this<br />
breathtaking chronicle about the battle over the<br />
very survival of centuries of western culture.<br />

“Modigliani”<br />
With talk back by Mizel Museum Curator<br />
Georgina Kolber<br />
Set in Paris in 1919 when the city’s bohemian<br />
community was in full flower, this feature film stars<br />
Andy Garcia as the Jewish Italian artist Amedeo<br />
Modigliani. An honest portrait of the uniquely<br />
gifted painter and sculptor, the film focuses on the<br />
troubled artist’s last days, depicting his rivalry with<br />
Pablo Picasso and his tragic romance with Jeanne<br />
(Elsa Zylberstein), who was disowned by her<br />
wealthy family for falling in love with a Jew.<br />

“Herb and dorothy”<br />
With talk back by art collector david raddock<br />
Herb and Dorothy Vogel redefine what it means to be an<br />
art collector, as this 2008 documentary so astonishingly<br />
attests. Herbert Vogel, the son of a Russian Jewish<br />
garment worker, spent his life working as a clerk at the<br />
post office. Dorothy Faye Hoffmann, the daughter of an<br />
Orthodox stationary merchant, worked as a librarian.<br />
Herb and Dorothy married in 1962 and in their cramped<br />
one bedroom apartment amassed one of the world’s most<br />
important collections of Minimalist and Conceptual art.<br />

“American Splendor”<br />
With special pre-show talk at<br />
6:30 by Kathryn Bernheimer<br />
Jewish Comic Book Creators:<br />
From Superman, Batman,<br />
Spiderman, and X-Men to<br />
R. Crumb’s underground comix<br />
Paul Giamatti plays cult comic book creator Harvey Pekar<br />
in this 2003 biographical comedy-drama about a morose<br />
artist who shares the sad monotony of everyday life with<br />
his fans. When he meets fellow neurotic Joyce Brabner<br />
(Hope Davis), he finds his depressive soul mate. The<br />
deadly funny film employs a combination of live-action film,<br />
video, and animation, including narration and commentary<br />
from the real-life Harvey Pekar.<br />
“Movies about artists’ lives are usually deadly and<br />
diminishing. This cubistic approach, blurring the line<br />
between the man and his work, gives us the impression<br />
we’re seeing the world from inside Pekar’s head. It’s<br />
as if the filmmakers let themselves be invaded by their<br />
subject’s quirky, cranky spirit.”<br />

Champagne and Chagall:<br />
Celebrating Hadassah’s Centennial<br />
As thousands gather across the country to toast Hadassah’s<br />
100th anniversary on March 22, <strong>Boulder</strong> celebrates with a<br />
party that includes champagne and cake, and a screening of a<br />
60-minute documentary about Marc Chagall, the legendary and<br />
quintessentially Jewish artist. Chagall’s stained glass windows<br />
at the Hadassah hospital in Jerusalem, created and donated<br />
for Hadassah’s 50th anniversary, are among the artist’s most<br />
beloved and well-known works. Hadassah is blessed with many<br />
works of art which convey the message that soothing the soul<br />
is as important as healing the body, and Chagall’s spiritual and<br />
spirited works are testaments to that faith in the healing power of<br />
art.<br />

Performance by Judy Winnick<br />
As a Polish Catholic social worker during<br />
WWII, Irena Sendler risked her life to rescue<br />
2,500 children from the Warsaw Ghetto. A<br />
member of the Polish underground, Sendler<br />
was the leader of the children’s section of<br />
the Zegota resistance. As an employee of<br />
the Social Welfare Department, she had a<br />
special permit to enter the Warsaw Ghetto, and she was able to provide<br />
children with false documents and shelter them in individual and group<br />
children’s homes outside the Ghetto.<br />
An actress, scholar, and distinguished retired teacher on<br />
the Colorado Humanities/Chautauqua Speakers Bureau,<br />
Judy Winnick has made a second career of portraying<br />

Hilarious and heart-warming, this brand new Israeli-hit comedy about<br />
four overweight guys who learn to love themselves through the Japanese<br />
sport of sumo wrestling is a “coming out” story with a twist. When Herzl<br />
(Itzik Cohen) starts working in a Japanese restaurant, he discovers the<br />
world of Sumo, where large people such as himself are honored and<br />
appreciated. Through the restaurant owner, a former Japanese Sumo<br />
coach, Herzl and his friends fall in love with a sport involving “two fatsos<br />
in diapers and girly hairdos.” Utterly irresistible!<br />

“Finding My Way:<br />
An American Maverick in China”<br />
With David Raddock<br />
Looking back on more than 40 years of time spent in China,<br />
David Raddock has written a memoir that is as much<br />
about him as it is about China. The central message of<br />
these recollections is that Americans see things in different<br />
cultural ways: He gets caught up in several cross-cultural<br />
misunderstandings, in his own disregard for the magical<br />
secrecy that the Chinese invoke, and the utilization of<br />
police and arrest. Along the way, the writer, professor, and<br />
businessman becomes one of the first American scholars to<br />
collect and write about vanguard art in China.<br />

steroids. Bring your own favorite baseball story to share<br />

Teddy BearTea<br />
and Concert<br />
You are invited to a “beary” special party!<br />
For families with children 2 ½ - 5 ½ years<br />
You’re invited to a “beary” special tea party and a special Teddy Bear concert with Amy and Kelye of Musicare ® .<br />
At the party, we’ll dance and sing along to lots of teddy bear songs. During our “tea-riffic” celebration, there will be<br />
a visit by a big, dancing teddy bear, so you may want to bring your camera! We’ll finish by sipping herbal tea and<br />
eating teddy bear treats.<br />
Please bring your child’s favorite plastic tea cup (tea cups for adults provided). Also, if they have a favorite teddy<br />
bear have them bring it along as well (if not we will have extra teddy bears available). The tea party will feel even<br />
more special if<br />
your children wear their “tea-party best”.<br />
Sunday, March 11 | 4 - 5 pm<br />

Helping adults and families for 20 years.<br />
We look forward to springtime and awakening the garden! As we play outside, we<br />
see so many signs of new growth (and lots of snow!). Not only is our natural world<br />
budding, flowering and turning green, but our children are also growing. Their<br />
expanding confidence in themselves opens the door for a whole new arena of<br />
possibilities. We see things all around us that drive our interest in finding out more.<br />
And through trial and error, we generate a whole new set of questions that continues<br />
the flow of learning and all of the wonderful opportunities that go with it.<br />
We are in the process of registering for summer camp and for the next school year (<strong>2012</strong>-13).<br />
Please call the preschool office to schedule a tour, 303-448-9939 and you can check out the<br />

Community Supported Agriculture<br />
(CSA) program is now open!!!<br />
Community Supported Agriculture is a unique<br />
way to support small scale, sustainable<br />
organic farms. When you buy a<br />
CSA share, you effectively<br />
buy a share in a local<br />
farm. Farmers benefit by<br />
receiving money early<br />
in the growing season<br />
to buy seeds and cover<br />
expenses. You benefit later<br />
in the growing season when<br />
you reap the rewards of the<br />
harvest including a weekly share of fresh picked organic<br />
vegetables loaded with flavor and nutrition. Tuv Ha’Aretz<br />
goes one step beyond the traditional CSA by giving Jewish<br />
individuals and families the opportunity to join a unique<br />
Jewish community and to further engage with the questions<br />
related to the intersection of food, sustainability and Jewish<br />
tradition through education and experience.<br />

Passover<br />
Dining<br />
Halibut in a Velvet Lemon Sauce<br />
1 large onion, thinly sliced<br />
1/4 cup sugar<br />
2 teaspoons sea salt<br />
Pinch white pepper<br />
1 1/2 to 2 pounds bone-in halibut, about 6 to 8 pieces<br />
(salmon steaks may be substituted)<br />
The Sauce<br />
2 large eggs<br />
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice<br />
2 teaspoons potato starch,<br />
mixed to a cream with the minimum of water<br />
In a lidded skillet, large enough to hold all the fish in 1 layer, bring 2<br />
cups water, the onion, sugar, salt and pepper to the boil. (Adding<br />
the sugar at this stage greatly improves the fish without noticeably<br />
sweetening it.) Lower the heat while you prepare the fish.<br />
Wash and salt the fish and put in the skillet. Bring the poaching liquid<br />
back to the boil, then lower the heat so it is barely bubbling. Partly<br />
cover and simmer very gently for 20 minutes.<br />
Lift out the fish with a slotted spoon or fish slice, draining any liquid<br />
back into the skillet. Place the fish in an oval serving dish about 1 ½<br />
inches deep. Remove any skin but leave in the bone, then leave to<br />
cool while you make the sauce.<br />
To make the sauce, boil the remaining fish poaching liquid for 3<br />
minutes to concentrate the flavor, then strain it and measure out 1<br />
cupful. Beat the eggs thoroughly with a rotary whisk, then whisk in<br />
the cup of fish liquid, the lemon juice and the potato starch cream.<br />
Alternatively, mix all the sauce ingredients for 10 seconds in a food<br />
processor or blender. This makes it easier to thicken the sauce<br />
without fear of its curdling.<br />
Put this liquid in a thick-bottom saucepan and cook gently over low<br />
heat until the sauce thickens to the consistency of a coating custard<br />
-- you will need to stir it constantly. Do not let it boil or the eggs may<br />
curdle. To make the sauce in the microwave, cook the blended<br />
ingredients, uncovered, in a jug or bowl on 50 percent power for<br />
2 minutes; whisk well, then cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes, until<br />
thickened.<br />
Taste the sauce and add extra lemon juice, if necessary, to make<br />
it equally sweet and sour. Pour the sauce over the fish, coating it<br />
completely. Leave in the refrigerator overnight, covered with aluminum<br />
foil. This classic Passover dish needs to be refrigerated at least 24<br />
hours and up to 4 days before serving. Serves 6 to 8.<br />

Macaroon Crusted orange tart<br />
For the coconut tart shell:<br />
3 1/3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut<br />
3 large egg whites<br />
1 1/2 cups kosher confectioners’ sugar*<br />
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
For the orange filling:<br />
4 large egg yolks<br />
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk<br />
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
1 teaspoon orange oil or extract<br />
1/2 cup orange juice<br />
2 oranges, zested<br />
Tart Shell: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium<br />
bowl, mix the 3 1/3 cups coconut, egg whites, confectioners’<br />
sugar, and vanilla together. Lightly press this macaroon<br />
mixture against the sides and bottom of a buttered 9-inch tart<br />
pan to form the walls of the tart.<br />
Bake the shell until the bottom crust is tanned and the sides<br />
are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool on a rack.<br />
Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees F.<br />
Orange Filling: While the shell is cooling, in a medium bowl,<br />
mix the yolks, sweetened condensed milk, extract, oil, orange<br />
juice, and zest together. Pour the filling into the cooled shell<br />
and bake until just set, about 15 minutes. Set on a rack to<br />
cool, then refrigerate until chilled.<br />
* Kosher confectioner’s Sugar<br />
To make Kosher for Passover confectioner’s sugar, replace<br />
1/2 Tbsp. from 1 cup of sugar with 1/2 Tbsp. potato starch<br />
and process until very fine.<br />

Science Matters in Colorado offers an exciting and educational program<br />
for children five through twelve years of age at the <strong>Boulder</strong> <strong>JCC</strong>!<br />
Investigate the wonders of the ocean and marine biology while examining different types of ocean<br />
life—like sharks and squid- and experimenting with blubber and kelp! Students will explore the<br />
layering of water and salinity, the types of living things that thrive in the world’s oceans, and learn<br />
about sonar and submarines. We’ll even investigate the evidence that Colorado was once covered by<br />
a HUGE ocean, and you’ll uncover the clues why this was true! We get to look inside/outside a shark in<br />
this 4 day WONDER CAMP. We’ll be swimming deep into the wild wonders of the deep blue seas!<br />
