Our Jewish Community Center

November 2017 

Dear Friends, 

We at the Sam Pomeranz Jewish Community Center have 

a lot to be thankful for. A wonderful community where 

we live and work. Awesome members and families whom 

we serve. And excellent, caring employees and board 

members. We count our blessings every day because 

earlier this year we went through some pretty challenging 

times. 

During the waves of threats made against many Jewish 

organizations at the start of this year, our campus was 

targeted three times. 

Thankfully, the threats were 

not credible and no one 

was harmed. However, our 

bottom line was bruised as 

several families left our childcare programs. But we did 

not let this diminish our spirit or our commitment to the 

community. 

Happy is he who performs a good deed: 

for he may tip the scales for himself and 

the world. 

– Talmud, Kiddushin 

We came out swinging, figuratively, and clawed our way 

back to some sort of normalcy. The financials slowly 

started to come around. We ended the school year still 

a bit wary but happy with our progress. Our summer 

camp season was excellent, which further boosted our 

confidence and determination. And after completing 

our new secure lobby entrance this fall, we feel like we’ve 

come full circle with our enhanced safety and security 

measures. 

I care about the Sam Pomeranz Jewish Community Center of Syracuse and its future. I also identify with and understand 

the importance of the JCC to Jewish life in this community. I would like to make the following contribution*: 

q Pillar $1,000 

q Founder $500 

q Supporter $250 

q Patron $100 

Which brings us to where we are now. As the end of this 

year rapidly approaches, we are grateful for everyone 

in our community who has stood with us through such 

trying times. Despite the uncertainty, we continued 

to support hundreds of local working families with 

quality childcare and area seniors with our kosher meal 

program. Your past contributions to our end-of-year 

campaign have enabled us to meet the needs of our 

members and neighbors. We once again look to your 

generosity as we seek to maintain our key place within 

the community. Please remember that when you give to 

the JCC you provide a gift that will last throughout the 

year. 

Help us continue our long tradition of serving the 

diverse needs of those in our community. Your generous 

donation will positively impact many lives. Please make 

a tax-deductible contribution to the JCC today. Your 

end-of-year gift will help ensure that our essential 

programming and services continue moving forward 

throughout the coming year. 

Sincerely, 

Marci Erlebacher Steven Sisskind

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 34.) 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 the back of 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 taxdeductible 

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 25) 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.

PJ Library in CNY gives back 

PJ makes a difference! When our country 

was struck by natural disasters in 

September, PJ Library started a Hurricane 

Harvey book drive to send books to those 

families and institutions affected by 

Harvey in Houston, Texas. This book drive 

took place in communities throughout the 

country, and Syracuse also participated via 

PJ Library in CNY, a program of the JCC 

of Syracuse. 

In one week’s time, local 

residents donated over 300 

of their old PJ books to 

PJ Library in CNY. Those 

books were then sorted 

by age and content and 

divided into packages of 

12 books per age group. 

Syracuse sent 288 books 

to Houston, which was the 

equivalent of a year’s supply 

of books for 24 different 

children! With the help of 

PJ communities throughout 

the country, Houston has 

received enough books 

for at least 75 children in every age range 

(6 months to 8 years old) to receive a 

year’s supply of books. These books are 

intended to replace books that families 

and institutions lost in the flooding of 

Hurricane Harvey. 

Thank you to everyone locally who 

contributed books for such a wonderful 

cause! We are always collecting extra PJ 

Library books, so if you are interested in 

donating your books for future needs, 

please contact Carolyn Weinberg at 

pjcny@jccsyr.org. 

UPCOMING EVENTS... 

On Dec. 10 from 2–3 p.m. we will be 

having a special “Build a Bear Donation 

Party.” Families are asked to purchase 

bears in advance that will then be 

completed at Build a Bear in Destiny USA 

and donated to children at Gollisano 

Children’s hospital. 

Look for details coming 

soon on a January Tu 

B’shevat planting party! 

For more information 

about any of the upcoming 

PJ Library in CNY events, 

please contact Carolyn at 

pjcny@jccsyr.org. 

PJ Library (PJ for pajamas) 

is a nationally acclaimed 

literacy program started by the 

Harold Grinspoon Foundation

stories, CDs and DVDs 

to families raising Jewish 

children. The PJ Library in 

CNY chapter is a program of the JCC of Syracuse 

and supported by the Pomeranz, Shankman 

and Martin Charitable Foundation, Jewish 

Federation of Central New York, Congregation 

Beth Sholom-Chevra Shas, Shaarei Torah 

Orthodox Congregation of Syracuse, Syracuse 

Hebrew Day School, Temple Adath Yeshurun 

and Temple Concord. The PJ Library in CNY 

serves children from 6 months to 8 years old 

in Cortland, Madison, Onondaga and Oswego 

Counties.

JCC accepts SilverSneakers and Silver&Fit programs 

Let your light 

shine for all 

By Rabbi Daniel Fellman 

Short days and long nights, cold weather 

and slippery roads—all are a part of the 

beauty of winter in Central New York. 

But look a little closer and you will see 

light and joy, warmth, smiles and hope too. 

Winter has its challenges, but it also has 

more than its share of blessings. 

We Jews gather at the darkest time of the 

year to light the Chanukah candles. The 

lights glow with joy and beauty, reminding 

us of challenges faced and overcome. And 

the lights beckon us to do more, to reach 

out, to connect with others. 

Chanukah celebrates the victory of a small 

band of Jews over a much larger foe. But 

the holiday celebrates much more than 

that historical occurrence. 

Chanukah calls us to support those who 

are facing challenges. Chanukah calls us to 

reach out and interact with each other, 

celebrating survival and the freedom 

to believe and practice as we see fit. 

Chanukah calls us to join together with 

others, to see that the real beauty of the 

light shines most brightly when it shows 

people trading darkness and isolation for 

light and connection. 

The JCC is one such place to experience 

the light and joy we need on short winter 

days. Look through the pages of this book 

and see all that is possible. Then make a 

choice to be a part of it all, and shine your 

light with all of us! 

Did you know that if you have a certain type of 

health insurance plan, you can workout at the 

JCC for little or no cost? The JCC’s Neulander 


is a participating gym in both 

the SilverSneakers and Silver&Fit 

programs for seniors. 

SilverSneakers is an insurance 

benefit included in more than 

65 Medicare health plans. Many 

health plans from companies 

such as Humana, Aetna, MVP, UnitedHealthcare 

and others, as well as group retirement 

plans, provide SilverSneakers gym memberships 

to their insureds, at no additional cost. 

For further information, visit 

www.silversneakers.com. 

Silver&Fit is another gym program for seniors 

similar to SilverSneakers. 

Silver&Fit is offered through 

various health insurers including 

Excellus BlueCross BlueShield 

and Aetna. For details, visit 

www.silverandfit.com. 

For more information about SilverSneakers 

and Silver&Fit, and to 

see if you’re eligible, contact the JCC’s Nick 

Finlayson, membership director, at 315-445-2040, 

ext. 140, or nfinlayson@jccsyr.org.

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

HAPPY CHANUKAH 

December brings with it Chanukah, the 

“Festival of Lights,” and our classroom 

Chanukah parties that have become a 

favorite ECDP tradition! Our Chanukah 

parties will be held on Friday, Dec. 15 

for rooms 2, 7, 8, A and B. The boys and 

girls will be eating potato lakes and jelly 

doughnuts. Songs will be sung, dreidels 

will be spun, candles on the menorah will 

be lit and stories of brave Maccabees told. 

Each child will also receive a specially 

decorated goodie bag filled with a dreidel, 

Chanukah stickers and chocolate gelt to 

take home. 

If your child will not be scheduled to 

attend our Dec. 15 Chanukah Party, you 

may pay for extra time if space is available. 

Otherwise, parents may bring in their child 

and STAY WITH THEM for the duration 

of the party. NYS licensing regulations 

requires a specific student/teacher ratio be 

maintained at all times in every classroom. 

Ratios vary according to age. Thank you 

for your understanding and cooperation 

with this matter. 

WINTER VACATION CAMP 

The Early Childhood Development 

Program will be closed Dec. 26–29 for 

winter break. There will be a vacation 

camp offered Dec. 26–29 for our working 

parents who need extended-day and fullday 

childcare. The teachers who will be 

caring for children that week may NOT be 

your child’s regular teachers. 

The winter vacation camp is subject to 

minimum enrollment. The fee is $50 per 

day. Please look for the registration form 

in your child’s mailbox. We cannot accept 

registration forms after Dec. 12 due to staff 

scheduling. 

PRESCHOOL BOOK FAIR 

You’re invited! We look forward to seeing 

you at our annual Scholastic Preschool 

Book Fair which will be held Jan. 22–26 

from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the JCC’s Early 

Childhood wing. 

Our book fair is the perfect way to 

update your home library at half the cost! 

Many of our parents love to purchase 

books for their child’s classroom. To make 

this easier for you, please look for the 

specially marked book bins at the checkout 

which contains the wish list of books 

for classroom libraries. Your child will 

be able to place a special sticker inside 

the book that lets the teacher know who 

purchased it for the classroom. Please note 

that purchasing a book from the wish bin 

is optional and not required. The Early 

Childhood Development Program greatly 

appreciates all wish bin books that are 

purchased.

SNOW DAY? DROP OFF THE KIDS 

AT THE JCC! 

Open to everyone in grades K–7 

Don’t let school closings cause child-care 

problems. We can help and we have a great 

sledding hill in our own backyard! Children can 

be dropped off as early as 7 a.m. and picked 

up as late as 6 p.m. Families registered in the 

After School Program at least one day per week 

may attend for only $10/day while all others are 

welcome at $45/day for JCC members and 

$55/day for non-members. 

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. 

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM PROGRAM 

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–7 to go for fun, educational and 

recreational activities. 

We’re open school days until 6:00 p.m. 

and children may attend up to five days a 

week. It’s just a short walk down the hall 

for Syracuse Hebrew Day School students 

to get to the program. Other students 

from nearby schools arrive just as easily 

as busing is provided from East-area 

Syracuse City Schools, Jamesville-DeWitt, 

Fayetteville-Manlius and area private 

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

can even provide 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!

I, the undersigned primary member, for myself and all 

persons listed above, hereby agree to the following: 

I am applying for membership with the Jewish 

Community Center (JCC) of Syracuse. I agree to 

abide by its rules and bylaws. I understand that all 

members 18 years and older may participate in the 

JCC’s annual meeting. 

I understand that membership dues are payable in full 

at the time of joining or renewal unless a payment plan 

has been approved in advance. A payment plan only 

specifies the manner in which payments will be made 

and does not reflect a month-to-month membership 

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. 

I have read and agree with these membership terms

“Once again we’re looking for bands

competition,” said Mick Hagan, JCC 

director of children and teen services. 

“This year was one of our biggest concerts 

ever as we had a total of nine bands play. 

The event has grown tremendously over

bands get some valuable public exposure.” 

All bands entering the JCC Battle of 

the Bands competition are limited to a

concert has typically 

drawn up to ten 

bands from all over 

Central New York. 

The shows are filled 

with quality talent 

and get the house 

rocking. Last year’s 

winner was classic 

rock band Posted

Longtime JCC exercise instructor retires 

On Monday, Oct. 23, Donna Lipton taught 

her last group exercise class at the JCC 

of Syracuse’s Neulander Family Sports & 

Fitness Center. She has been a volunteer 

and teaching a class for seniors at the JCC 

for the past 15 years. Although the 81-year 

old Lipton, a self-professed “exercise 

addict,” said that now is the time for her 

to retire from teaching at the JCC, she still 

plans on staying active. 

“I will continue working out here at 

the JCC,” said Lipton. “I take Tai Chi and 

other classes here. The people are just 

wonderful. I’ve made so many friends. I 

just love the people.” 

Lipton began volunteering at the JCC 

as an instructor with Onondaga County’s 

Fit for the Next Fifty exercise program. 

Back then the county held their free classes 

at the JCC. After the classes relocated to 

another venue, the JCC continued to offer 

a free seniors class every Monday morning 

which Lipton continued to teach. 

Even before she began volunteering 

at the JCC, Lipton taught exercise classes 

at the Manlius 

Senior Center, 

and has 

continued 

teaching there 

all these years. 

She has been 

committed to 

staying fit for a 

long time. 

“When I was 

in my thirties I 

started taking 

aerobics to be 

more physically 

fit,” said Lipton. 

“I got inspired 

so I started lifting weights, and I’ve been 

active ever since.” 

At the end of her final class at the JCC, 

Lipton’s many students in attendance 

wished her well on this next chapter she’s 

embarking on. 

“Donna has truly been remarkable all 

these years—giving so much of herself to 

After volunteering at the JCC for the past 15 years, Donna Lipton, pictured at the 

front of the class facing the camera, teaches her last Senior Strength & Balance 

class at the JCC on Oct. 23. 

the JCC and to her students,” said Paula 

Pacini, JCC group exercise coordinator. 

“She’s been an inspiration and will be 

missed. Although we’re lucky that we’ll 

still be able to see her working out here at 

the JCC.”
