Summer camp is for friendship and fun 

The JCC of Syracuse is the place to be for children 

and teens to enjoy friendship and fun under the 

summer sun! The JCC’s Camp Rishon summer 

day camp will run weekdays for eight weeks from 

June 26 through August 18. There will be plenty 

of non-stop excitement, fun and adventure for 

everyone to experience.

Lobby renovations to begin soon 

Camp Rishon offers a unique camp 

experience tailored to three distinct 

age groups. 

• Early Childhood Camp 

Ages 6-weeks old through entering 

kindergarten 

• School-Age Camp 

Children entering grades 1–6 

• SyraCruisin’ Teen Travel Camp 

Young teens entering grades 7–10 

Throughout each week campers will have a 

blast as they interact with peers, make new friends 

and broaden their horizons. There’s no time for 

boredom at the JCC as campers go swimming and 

are kept active every day. 

We know that security equals peace of mind. That’s why the JCC will soon be building a 

new wall inside our main lobby to add another layer of security. Once the wall is complete, 

members must use their JCC membership card to enter through the new doors.

Summer Camp 

• Continued from page 1 

Each camp day begins and ends at the 

JCC on 5655 Thompson Rd. in DeWitt. 

Depending on the camp, some campers 

may go off-site for scheduled field trips and 

specialty camp activities. Early and late 

care options are available for all campers. 

Young teens entering grades 7–10 

looking to take on some responsibility 

should check out the Junior Camp Aide, 

Camp Aide and Counselor in Training 

(CIT) programs. They offer many 

opportunities to hone teamwork and 

leadership skills. 

Camp Rishon registration is currently 

in full swing. Register your child anytime 

right up until the start of camp on June 

26 and throughout the summer prior to 

the start of each camp session. But don’t 

delay. Spots go quickly and some schoolage 

specialty camp sessions closeout early. 

Except for the Camp Aide and Counselor 

in Training teen programs, current JCC 

membership is not necessary for Camp 

Rishon registration. However, JCC 

members receive discounted camp rates. A 

discount for siblings is also available.

summer camp, and to request the camp

POOL GUIDE 

AttEntion JCC oF SyRACUSE MEMBERS: 

Please remember to use your membership card to enter the building on Saturdays and access the pool. 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 

The 2017 outdoor 

swimming season has 

finally arrived! The JCC of 

Syracuse’s outdoor heated 

pool is 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.

Lobby Renovations 

• Continued from page 1 

Being able to offer a safe and welcoming 

environment here at the JCC is our top priority. 

The new, secured entrance inside our main 

lobby will be constructed of the highest quality 

protective materials. It will provide an extra 

level of control to compliment the many security 

measures already in place. Yet it won’t be 

obtrusive or distracting. In fact, it will integrate 

seamlessly with our building traffic and flow. 

Our members will enjoy quick and easy entry 

through the new doors during business hours 

with a swipe of their membership card. 

While the JCC’s new wall is at the top of our 

to-do list, it comes at an unexpected time. 

That’s where you come in. We are seeking 

the support and generosity of our JCC family 

and the community to help us. Please make a 

tax-deductible donation toward the construction 

of our new lobby entrance. Your help with 

this important upgrade will afford even greater 

peace of mind among all who enter our building. 

Please donate today to help build the JCC 

wall. All gifts are graciously welcomed and 

greatly appreciated. 

To make a donation, or to discuss special 

recognition opportunities for more significant 

contribution amounts, please call our main 

office at 315-445-2360.

PJ Library in CNY | A Jewish Community Partnership 

Free Jewish stories and programs for the summer 

PJ Library (PJ for pajamas) is a nationally 

acclaimed literacy program started by the 

Harold Grinspoon Foundation which sends 

free Jewish children’s stories to families 

raising Jewish children. In addition to this 

wonderful free gift for Jewish children and 

their families, the PJ Library in CNY offers 

special PJ family playdates and events. 

These playdates are designed to connect 

children and parents in the PJ Library 

program through different holiday, book 

and Jewish themed events. 

Stay tuned for fun summer PJ playdates 

and get-togethers! 

The PJ Library CNY chapter is a

and Martin Charitable Foundation, 

Jewish Federation of Central New York, 

Congregation Beth Sholom-Chevra Shas,

8.5-11 year-olds by offering choice and creative 

outlets. Every month, kids visit the website to

titles with Jewish themes; the books are 

then mailed to kids’ homes. Kids can also post 

comments and reviews on the website.

The worth of a good name 

By Rabbi Evan Shore 

Some people have the custom to study 

Pirkei Avot, Chapters of the Ancestors, 

every single Shabbat afternoon, during 

the summer months. In it, we find the 

following teaching, loosely 

translated, a crown of a good 

name surpasses and exceeds all 

other crowns. 

Throughout the ages 

countless rabbis have attempted 

to explain this concept. To me 

it is very simple. An individual 

may be at the top of a particular 

field: a superb teacher, outstanding 

physician, erudite professor, or prodigy in 

the arts, and if a good name is absent, all 

is for naught. Many professions chosen by 

people do so by means of being gifted in 

that particular pursuit. Accordingly, we see 

the crown of a good name is so different. 

One works an entire life to earn, build and 

maintain a good name. It is 

not instinct or a gift, rather an 

attribute we work upon and toil 

in every day. 

In essence, our true self 

is not the title we are known 

by, rather the good name we 

pursue during our life. Unless 

accompanied by the Keter Shem 

Tov, crown of a good name, the other 

crowns, that of Torah, the priesthood and 

royalty, lose their luster and value. Rabbi 

Baruch Epstein, writes in his commentary 

on Pirkei Avot, “A good name is like sugar 

that sweetens a particular product.” 

The most important lesson we should 

teach our children, family and friends 

is the worth of a good name. In our 

relationships with others a little sugar can 

go a long way! We all have the ability to 

achieve this level and please G-d warrant 

wearing the crown of a good name. All we 

have to do is invest in the effort.

Plant a tree in Israel—without 

getting your hands dirty! 

If you’ve ever wanted to make our world a 

little greener—whether right here in New 

York or in a desert region such as Israel— 

the JCC of Syracuse can help. And, you 

don’t have to get your hands dirty to make 

it happen! 

The JCC 

of Syracuse 

is continuing 

its fundraiser 

to have trees 

planted in 

Israel and at 

various other locations around the world, 

including here in the United States. To 

support this initiative, simply purchase a 

“Plant a Tree” card from the JCC. Then go 

online according to the card’s instructions 

to have your tree planted at one of more 

than 35 reforestation sites around the 

world. Each card costs $18 or you can buy 

five and get one free. 

“Plant a Tree” cards may be purchased 

over the phone or in person from the 

JCC’s main entrance receptionist, Jerome 

and Phyllis Charney Early Childhood 

Development Program or Neulander 

Family Sports & Fitness Center. Donors 

may choose to have their tree donation 

benefit the JCC’s After School Program, 

Early Childhood Development Program, 

Sports & Fitness Center, PJ Library in CNY 

or Seniors Department. Tree donations 

also may be designated as a tribute in 

honor or memory of someone special. 

“We’re really pleased to be rolling 

out this type of fundraiser,” said JCC 

of Syracuse Executive Director Marci 

Erlebacher. It’s a first for us and a great way 

for our supporters to help out their chosen 

JCC program while making a positive 

impact on the environment.” 

As a dry desert region, Israel has 

limited trees and no natural forests. Thus 

all forests must be hand-planted, which 

Israel has done quite successfully. In less 

than 60 years Israel has become one of only 

two countries with a net gain in its number 

of trees. 

For more information about the 

JCC’s “Plant a Tree” fundraiser, call 

315-445-2360 or visit www.jccsyr.org.
