Summer camp fun is for everyone! 

There’s plenty of summer camp fun and adventure 

for children and teens to experience at the JCC of 

Syracuse this year! The JCC’s Camp Joe & Lynne 

Romano summer day camp will run weekdays 

for eight weeks from June 25 through August 17. 

There will be plenty of non-stop excitement, fun 

and adventure for everyone to experience. 

Each week campers will have a blast making 

new friends and participating in enriching 

activities. There’s nothing boring about summer 

camp at the JCC as campers go swimming and are 

kept active every day. 

Camp enrollment is broken out into three 

different age groups. The early childhood camp 

is for children 6-weeks old through entering

entire week. In addition to staples such as 

gymnastics, art, rocketry and fishing, two 

new Specialty Camps that we’ve added 

this year—Cheerleading and Coding & 

Engineering—are sure to be instant hits. 

Young teens ages 14 and 15 looking 

to take on some responsibility should 

check out the Camp Aide and Counselor 

in Training (CIT) programs. They offer 

many opportunities to hone teamwork and 

leadership skills. 

Camp Romano registration is currently 

in full swing. Register your child anytime 

right up until the start of camp on June 

25 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 

Romano registration. However, JCC 

members receive discounted camp rates. A 

discount for siblings is also available.

2018 

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 

2018 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.

The world stands on three things 

By Rabbi Andrew Pepperstone 

Congregation Beth Sholom-Chevra Shas 

During the early summer weeks, there is 

a custom to study Pirkei Avot, a collection 

of teachings by the early rabbis. In the first 

chapter, Shimon the Righteous addresses 

a particular question: “If the world were 

compared to a three-legged chair, what 

would be its three legs?” For 

such a chair, all three legs 

would be necessary or the chair 

would fall over. What are the 

three things without which the 

world could not exist? 

Environmentally speaking, 

the world needs clean air, 

clear water and clean soil. 

Astrologically speaking, the world needs 

to rotate on its axis, orbit around the sun, 

and have the moon in its orbit. Without 

any of these things, life on earth would be 

radically different or physically impossible. 

Shimon the Righteous had a different, less 

physical, take on this question. He taught: 

“The world stands on three things— 

on Torah, on Avodah, and on G’milut 

Chasadim.” What are these three elements? 

What is Torah? Torah is the Hebrew 

word for ‘teaching’ or ‘instruction.’ 

For Shimon, without the process of 

internalizing one’s learning - from our 

faith traditions, from the natural world, 

and from each other - the world would 

be unable to exist. Without 

the pursuit of wisdom, 

understanding and knowledge, 

and applying that knowledge to 

make the world a better place, 

we would still be stuck in the 

Stone Age. 

What is Avodah? Avodah is 

the word both for ‘work’ and for 

‘worship.’ If Torah is about internalizing 

what one has learned, Avodah is about 

reaching out beyond the self in prayer, 

which can take many forms. It can be 

joining in song with a congregation. It 

can be done in solitude in the woods. 

It can be done in still quiet meditation. 

It can be done while participating in a 

march or rally for social justice. Avodah 

is about seeing the world as it is now, and 

envisioning the world as it should be. The 

next step is going out to make the world we 

envision into the world as it is. 

What is G’milut Chasadim? G’milut 

Chasadim is the Hebrew phrase for ‘acts 

of lovingkindness.’ G’milut Chasadim 

is about reaching out beyond the self to 

others and doing good deeds: visiting the 

sick, comforting the mourner, hospitality, 

giving money, food, shelter or clothing to 

those in need, and so on. 

Shimon the Righteous is teaching us 

that we need to be three-dimensional: to 

reach inward with our learning, reach 

upward in prayer, and to reach out to each 

other with acts of lovingkindness. It is 

the combination of these three elements 

that make the world worthy of its physical 

existence.

Adults and Seniors Program 

JCC’s senior kosher dinners start up again June 18 

By Ankur Dang 

Each weekday at noon seniors come 

together at the Sam Pomeranz Jewish 

Community Center to have lunch. Some 

of them do so after sweating it out in the 

JCC’s gym or attending a group exercise 

class. As an Onondaga County-designated 

senior nutrition program, the tasty 

kosher meals served satisfy a third of the 

FDA’s recommended daily nutritional 

requirements. The menu, which changes 

every month, regularly features a variety of 

popular dishes including meatloaf, brisket, 

cornish hen, and more. What’s not to love? 

Well, there’s always more to love, 

especially in the summer. 

The JCC’s Dr. Morton and Mrs. Libby 

Maloff Summer Senior Dinner program 

will be serving a well-balanced kosher 

dinner every Monday starting June 18. The 

weekly dinners start promptly at 5 p.m. 

and a variety of live entertainment will be 

included each week as a part of the meal 

program. This summertime tradition will 

run through August 28. 

The summer dinners are open to 

seniors age 60 and older. The suggested 

contribution is $5. Registration is required 

by the Wednesday before each dinner by 

calling 315-445-2360. The JCC’s weekday 

senior lunches ($4 suggested contribution) 

will continue at noon Tuesdays through 

Fridays during those weeks the summer 

dinner is held. Lunch registration is 

required by noon the business day before 

the lunch. 

“We are excited to be kicking off our 

summer dinner program for seniors next 

month,” said Marci Erlebacher, JCC of 

Syracuse executive director. “The dinners 

have become very popular and offer a 

wonderful outlet for seniors to socialize 

while enjoying a delicious kosher meal.” 

The JCC’s Bobbi Epstein Lewis 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. 

Senior dinner volunteers needed 

Volunteers are sought to help serve Monday 

evening senior kosher dinners at the JCC 

starting on June 18. Volunteers age 13 and 

older are welcome and should be available 

starting at 4:45 p.m. Flexible weeks are 

available. Students seeking to fulfill community 

service requirements will receive 

confirmation of volunteer hours served. 

For more information and to sign-up to help 

with this worthwhile 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. 

Ready to get started?

sports & fitness director, at 315-234-4522

For those looking for some variety... 20 minutes of 

cardio, 20 minutes of muscle sculpting and 20 minutes 

of stretching. Wow!

fat- and calorie-burning workout in town. 

Group Cycle 

Designed by an Olympic mountain-biking coach, 

the Keiser M3 Plus bike brings the mountain-biking 

experience indoors to safely deliver a full-body 

workout. Unlike other cycling classes which just work 

the legs, this cutting-edge class works the whole body. 

Line Dancing 

Get moving with line dancing—a fun way to exercise! 

Line dance to all varieties of music using a series of 

basic steps and patterns of all dance styles. Challenge 

yourself as the dances change direction and move 

around the room. Class is designed for beginners, 

those who want moderate exercise, and also for those 

who want a more intense workout. 


Instructors use barbells, free weights, bands and balls 

to create the ultimate total body shaping class.

multiple levels of participation uses bands, magic 

circles, stability balls and BOSUs. Mostly done on a 

mat, but some standing work is incorporated as well. 

Tai Chi for Arthritis 

Tai Chi is an ancient practice proven to improve mental 

and physical well being. Tai Chi for Arthritis uses gentle 

Sun-style Tai Chi movements to help reduce stress, 

improve breathing and develop balance, mobility and 

body awareness. All ability levels are welcome and you 

don’t need to be diagnosed with arthritis to participate. 

Yoga 

A hybrid style drawing from Vinyasa, Lyengar and

we recommend that you bring your own Yoga mat.

along with intervals of strength movements help 

increase muscle tone and the body’s metabolism. An 

overall power packed workout! 

TRX Suspension Training 

Free; $15 for non-Fitness members 

• Registration required‐—call/stop by the Fitness desk 

TRX (total body resistance exercise) utilizes a band 

(two-handled nylon strap) to harness the power of

result is a mix of support and mobility to train strength, 

endurance, flexibility, coordination, balance, power and 

core stability across a wide range of resistance. 

TRX for Golf

• Registration required‐—call/stop by the Fitness desk 

TRX (total body resistance exercise) training specifically

to optimize mobility and power in the hips and upper 

spine, making the golfer’s swing unyielding and smooth. 

WERQ Dance Fitness

on the hottest dance music and can be modified for

invoke an attitude of confidence and empowerment. 

Zumba
