ON THE COVERMeet the Terranovas
We had a great time chatting with this fantastic new JCC family and had the opportunity to ask them some really fun questions about spring, vacations and superheroes. Amanda and Adam have two children in our KJCC preschool and are already signed up for Camp Kef this summer. The Terranovas enjoy spending time together at local neighborhood festivals and the Jersey Shore. They are excited to spend many years with the JCC….swimming this summer, playing and learning.
Q: What is your favorite thing about Spring?A: Definitely the first warm day! When we can take the kids outside and let them run around the park!Q: What is your dream vacation?A: Disney would be the perfect place to take the kids because they're at a great age to do so! We also can't wait until the kids are old enough to pack up and go on a road trip across the country. Q: What is your favorite superhero?A: Superman and Cyborg!Q: Final very important and serious question…what is your favorite animal?A: We love all kinds of animals, but "stuffed" animals are at the top of the list at the moment.
If you see the Terranovas around the J, please say hi and welcome them to our J Family.

Support the athletesThe words below were spoken by a local Jewish athlete that benefited from participating in the JCC Maccabi Games©. The Games provide Jewish youth with a supportive environment that fosters mutual respect and sportsmanship as well as helping to cultivate an appreciation of Jewish values and culture. Teens will enrich their Jewish identity and help those who are less fortunate through community service projects; and, become better athletes, better people and better Jews. Some athletes are unable to make the financial commitment to attend these Games. Please consider supporting the Team Philly Athlete Scholarship Fund and help create memories for a local Jewish athlete.

There's Something About this Place
When you walk through the doors of the J you might see a preschool class making their way to our gym for play time; a group of members gathered around Nana's Café in the lobby chatting with Gladys, or you might hear a couple of senior adults bidding each other “Shabbat Shalom” before parting ways on a Friday afternoon. You can set your watch to the arrival of the basketball guys who come to play a quick game of pick-up during their lunch break each day. Soon after stepping through our doors you'll be on a first name basis with our staff and come to realize the JCC feels a lot like home.
The J is the heart of the community and we strive to transcend all differences and provide programs for everyone. We are an independent non-profit organization and, in spite of the revenue we receive from membership fees, tuition and program fees, it is not enough to cover the cost of operating our center. We rely on the generosity of businesses, grant making organizations and individuals like you to help reach our goals each year. We strive to make our programs accessible to everyone and provide over $100,000 each year in need-based financial assistance to families in our community.
Make Your Tax Dollars Do GoodInvest in a child's futurePA Education Tax Credit Program
The Foundation for Jewish Day Schools was created by the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia in partnership with six local day schools, and is an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Foundation
provides need-based scholarships to students from lower and middle-income families attending the six day schools and dozens of pre-schools in the Greater Philadelphia area, including the Kaiserman JCC’s Robert J. Wilf Preschool & Kindergarten.
What is the EITC Program?Corporations (both “C” and “S”) can significantly reduce their PA state tax liability by receiving tax credits for donations to state-approved scholarship organizations such as the Foundation for Jewish Day Schools of Greater Philadelphia. Owners of sub-chapter S corporations and other small and medium-sized businesses that pay personal income tax on PA business income can fully participate in the program as well.
Participants in the EITC program may receive a tax credit equal to 100% of the first $10,000 contributed and up to 90% of the remaining amount contributed up to a maximum credit of $150,000 annually.
If a corporation or business owner
chooses to designate its donation for
scholarship assistance to the Robert J.
Wilf Preschool & Kindergarten, it can do
so in the letter that will accompany its
check to the Foundation for Jewish Day
Schools of Greater Philadelphia.

Jewish Learning InstituteDecoding the Bible: The Development Of Jewish Law And Tradition Through The Ages
From commandments engraved in stone to microchips in our eyewear and self-driving cars—a lot can change in 3,000 years. Yet the elemental questions about our tradition remain
the same. Do we have any evidence that the Bible’s text is divine and true? Who has the right to interpret the Bible? And how do we adapt its laws to modern times and changing influences? The answers to these questions are addressed in Decoding the Bible.

Gymnastics is a comprehensive sport that develops key physical and social skills such as balance, flexibility, coordination, spatial orientation, speed, strength, perseverance, confidence, patience, and self esteem.
Gymnastics Team ProgramOur Team Program is designed to prepare gymnasts for USAG competitions. Gymnasts first learn the necessary skills - dance and acrobatics - on the pre-competitive levels. Building on these skills they then learn the competitive routines they will perform at meets with gymnasts from other teams in the region. Within the framework of positive reinforcement and encouragement, our coaches provide an opportunity for gymnasts to grow in skill level and confidence, creating a positive experience that will add to their physical and social development. Extended hours offer team members time for additional practice on gymnastics skills. Time is also spent on strength conditioning, endurance, and flexibility. Participation on a team is by invitation or scheduled tryout with our Gymnastics Director, Valencia Chang.

Spring 2014 Class Schedule
holiday celebrationsShabbat: The Jewish day of rest begins at sundown on Friday evening and ends at twilight on Saturday evening. It is a time to enjoy spiritual contemplation, the company of family members, nature and relaxation. It is an opportunity to feel renewed and ready for the coming week.
Rosh Hashanah: The Jewish New Year begins the 10-day period known as the High Holidays, the Days of Awe. We use this time to think about the past year and resolve to improve what needs improvement in the coming year. The blowing of the shofar (ram’s horn) serves as a wake-up call to begin the process.
Yom Kippur: The Day of Atonement occurs on the 10th (last) day of the High Holidays. It is a day of fasting, prayer, inner contemplation and a collective confession of sins. It is also a day of optimism, full of the promise of forgiveness and improvement of our behavior in the coming year.
Sukkot: Preparations for Sukkot begin right after Yom Kippur with the building of the sukkah, a temporary dwelling. This harvest holiday emphasizes the values of hospitality, the rewards of work and our trust in G-d. It reminds us of the period of time the Jews wandered in the desert after leaving Egypt.
Shemini Atzeret: The eighth day of Sukkot, a day of solemn assembly, is a holiday on which prayers for rain are recited. A memorial service is also held.
Simchat Torah: Simchat Torah is associated with Sukkot, but is an independent, joyous holiday. On Simchat Torah, the cycle of reading from the Torah ends and begins again. In every synagogue, the Torah scrolls are taken out and carried around in processions.
Hanukkah: Hanukkah, meaning “dedication” in Hebrew, is the joyous eight-day celebration during which the Jews commemorate the victory of the Macabees over the armies of Syria in 165 BCE and the miracle of the Temple’s oil lasting 8 days. Today, the celebration of Hanukah includes eating potato latkes and jelly doughnuts, playing Dreidel, and centers on the lighting of the Hanukiah.
Purim: Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar. It commemorates a time when the Jewish people, living in Persia, were saved from the wicked tyrant Haman by Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai, as told in the Book of Esther (Megillat Esther). Purim merriments include carnivals, costumes, gifts of food and reading the story in the synagogue.
Passover: Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is an eight-day spring holiday that celebrates the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt. The main tradition of Passover is the Seder, the word Seder means, “order” and this ritual meal is carefully choreographed and held on the first two evenings of the holiday (in Israel, and for most Reform Jews, there’s only one seder, on the first night). The Seder is designed to provide an opportunity for telling the story of how the Jewish People were freed from slavery and given the gift of the Torah. Jewish law prohibits eating anything that is leavened (hametz) during the Passover holiday
Shavuot: Shavuot, which means the “Festival of Weeks” occurs seven weeks after Passover. It is a three-fold celebration that commemorates the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, the harvesting of wheat in the land of Israel, and the ripening of the first fruits in Jerusalem. On Shavuot the slaves who left Egypt were made into free people by the receiving of the Ten Commandments.
Please Note: The Kaiserman JCC follows the Lower Merion School District Calendar for weather related closings. When LMSD closes due to weather, the JCC after-school classes are also closed.
