Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center

Sanford L. Ziff

Campus

There’s noCENTER likeour Center!

Scene from J’CAT’s“Annie Get Your Gun!”

January, 2015 Tevet 5775

Dear Friends,

As 2014 was drawing to a close, the programming and activity we offered, we believe, IS a reflection of what helpsdefines us as a JCC - our commitment to perpetuate Jewish life and Jewish identity. Hebraica’s Annual Maccabi Gamescontinues to be a source of pride, not only in its scope and magnitude (more than 2,000 local registrations with more than650 games played), but also in its embrace of remembering from where we came; in celebrating our cultural diversity;and underscoring that regardless of our cultural differences, we stand together as ONE under the umbrella of “Klal Yisrael.”Celebrating Chanukah further emphasized our commitment to celebrate our rich cultural heritage with a “chock full” ofprogramming that included – Bamachol’s Chanukah Dance Festival (that filled the Julius Littman Performing Arts Theater),our Community Chanukah Celebration ushering in the holiday on its first night, the Senior Adult Chanukah Party, the AfterSchool Program’s Family Gathering, the Early Childhood Development Center’s Latke Family Dinner, Chanukah NightTime Kayaking and Candle Lighting, and J-CAT’s Jewish Educational Theatre’s (JET) first production of the season –“Chanukah at Bubbie’s” – brought the story and meaning of Chanukah to life on our J-CAT stage.

Another part of our mission defining who we are, is to provide our community with programming and activity thatpromotes health, wellness, socialization, and personal growth, while seeking to maximize each individual’s potential.When perusing this Program Guide, you will continue to see the broad range of programming that we offer and ourreasons for taking such pride in the work of our staff in making the MAR-JCC the hub of activity for the Jewish communityof North Miami-Dade.

Most exciting for us as we begin this new year…

The anticipation to break ground within the next several months for the George Feldenkreis Cultural Arts andEducation Center, that will allow us to enhance our offerings to YOU in the world of the arts, health and fitness, and socialand cultural programming. Our Capital Campaign Committee has been working diligently to meet its goals and namingopportunities are still available – if interested in supporting this wonderful project, contact Elizabeth Mitrani, at 305-932-400,ext. 114.

Expanding our relationship with Temple Sinai of North Dade where Camp Tol Taplin will be able to conduct itshighly recognized summer camp program for ages 2 – entering kindergarten, in what we are terming “at our Temple SinaiVillage.” This wonderful opportunity allows us to create a more intimate “haimish” setting for our younger campers wherethey will be able utilize Temple Sinai’s wonderful facilities including classrooms, interest rooms, playground, athletic field,and swimming pool. Furthermore, our summer program will also continue to benefit through the use of Hillel’s facilities, andits new Sports Complex.

The arrival, in February, of our new Shlicha (Cultural Emissary from Israel),Yael Cohen, will raise the level of Israelprogramming and activity in our MAR-JCC and community, while also strengthening the relationship with our PartnershipCity of Yerucham.

Since the strength of our Center is dependent upon our staff and its volunteer committees, we call upon you to getinvolved with us and ask that you not hesitate to contact either of us “to answer our call.” We look forward to seeing youat our many activities…or simply just grabbing a bite and socializing at one of the two restaurants on campus - KosherSubway or Elsie’s Café.

Extending best wishes to you and your family for a happy and healthy 2015.

Sincerely,

Paul Kruss Gary J. BomzerChairman of the Board President and CEO

THE BUTTERFLYThe last, the very last,

So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.Perhaps if the sun sun’s tears would sing

against a white stone…

Such, such a yellowIs carried lightly ‘way up high.

It went away I’m sure because it wished to kiss the world goodbye.

For seven weeks I’ve lived in herePanned up inside this ghetto

But I have found my people here.The dandelions call to me

And the white chestnut candles in the court.Only I never saw another butterfly.

That butterfly was the last one.Butterflies don’t live in here, in the ghetto.

Pavel Friedmann • 4/6/1942
