Meet Marcus and Sandra Charles
A Most Tasty Partnership: Urban TableBy Michele Solomon, Event & Volunteer Manager
There’s a hint of an east coast accent when Marcus and Sandra Charles share their philosophy of life. “Health is more than wealth because all the money in the world can’t keep you healthy,” says Marcus. “Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” Sandra, his wife of 35 years agrees, adding, “A healthy lifestyle is a life-long job.” And it’s a job the New York natives embrace. Ever since relocating to the Bay Area in 2008 to be closer to family, Marcus and Sandra have enjoyed many diverse interests that epitomize active California living.
That includes working out at the PJCC several times a week. A retired NYPD detective, Marcus loves to jump rope and swim while Sandra, a retired manager at a New Jersey fitness center, thrives with
Pilates Reformer and TRX classes. In his spare time Marcus teaches tennis as the Head Varsity Coach at Serra High School in San Mateo. He also draws upon his detective skills working at HighCom Security (which the PJCC employs) as a supervisor. “It’s a challenge fighting the urge to become sedentary,” he admits, “but being sedentary isn’t an option.”
Sandra, an avid gardener, recently joined the Board of Directors at the San Mateo Arboretum Society and also manages rentals for the Kohl Pumphouse. They both believe that their good health and longevity are a result of an active life. “The PJCC is a perfect fit for us,” Sandra says. “The friendly staff and members are a delight every time.”
Peninsula Jewish Community Center Your Center for Life!
CenterView
If you’ve spent Sunday mornings at the Center shopping for tasty produce or fresh flowers, you can thank the PJCC’s partner, Urban Table. Our union has resulted in providing our community with Foster City’s only Farmers’ Market.
Urban Table is a non-profit agency that establishes certified Farmers’ Markets in the Bay Area and supports a sustainable food system. The city’s first market was introduced in 2010, at the PJCC’s Second Annual Family Health & Fitness Day, and was a huge success. In fact, within four hours of the event, over 500 signatures were collected encouraging Foster City to move forward with an ongoing market managed by Urban Table.
Thus began the process of making this seasonal market a reality. One of the PJCC guiding principles is “Wholeness of Body, Mind and Spirit,” which dovetails with Urban Table’s goal to provide local communities with easy access to fresh, local and organic produce. Not only does a Farmers’ Market provide healthy foods, but it also nurtures an inviting environment conducive to a thriving neighborhood while also supporting positive interactions between residents and local farmers.
Discover the delectable goods you’ll find at our Farmers’ Market. It remains open Sundays, through November 6 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Hank Dagenais, Center member since 2008“That would be Coach Burt from Terra Nova High School in Pacifica. He taught me to be the person I am today; to be fair with people, be a good basketball coach. He was a real father-figure.”

Beyond BirthrightCurator’s Corner
By Kimberly Gordon, PJCC Cultural Arts Director
There is always something new to learn at the PJCC, and this fall is no exception. Members and guests will enjoy the unique opportunity to learn from two remarkable master teachers: Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson and Dr. Stephen Berk.
Considered one of the rising stars of Jewish academia, Rabbi Artson is the Dean of the Ziegler Rabbinical School at the American Jewish University in Los Angeles. The PJCC is honored to have him as our keynote speaker at the Global Day of Jewish Learning on Sunday November 13. Using an ancient rabbinic teaching tale, Rabbi
Artson will guide us in examining how to create a meaningful personal identity. In a second session he will also teach the meaning and relevance of the Sh’ma, the central articulation of Jewish faith in the Oneness of God.
Our 2nd Annual North Peninsula Scholar-in-Residence program takes place from December 1–14 and features Dr. Berk. An expert in Holocaust Studies and Contemporary Jewish History, Dr. Berk is recognized as a superb and entertaining lecturer. In over 15 presentations throughout the community, Dr. Berk will discuss the history of the Holocaust and anti-
Semitism, the challenges of assimilation in contemporary America and making peace in the Middle East.
Don’t miss the opportunity to study with both these extraordinary teachers. For details and schedules, please visit www.pjcc.org.
A New Voice By Lavey Derby, Director of Jewish & Family Life
As fall approaches, Jews throughout the world prepare for the High Holy Days, a time of personal reflection, introspection and repentance.

I share something in common with graphic novelist Sarah Glidden. Well, Sarah and 260,000 other Jews across 52 countries. We have all participated in a Taglit-Birthright Israel experience, offered by Taglit-Birthright Israel (www.birthrightisrael.com), a non-profit organization that provides free 10-day trips to Israel for Jewish young adults between the ages of 18-26. But what makes Ms. Glidden stand out is that she is the only alumna to have turned her Birthright Israel experience into a published graphic novel.
This fall, the PJCC is proud to present almost 25 original watercolor excerpts from Sarah’s new autobiographical travel journal turned graphic novel, How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less (published by Vertigo August 30, 2011). Ms. Glidden is
also loaning the gallery her original sketch pad and diary, which will be on display to help demonstrate her creative process.
The graphic novel provides an inventive and freeing format for illustrating the author’s non-verbal thoughts as she internally debates the complexities of the Israeli border, recounts dream sequences, and wisecracks about fellow travelers. While the story is all Sarah’s, the iconic scenery and unique situations (such as Dead Sea water in the eye) will be familiar to anyone who has visited the beautiful country of Israel.
How to Understand Israel in 60 days or Less will be on display through December 28 in the award-winning PJCC Art Gallery. Sarah’s book, of the same name, will also be available for purchase at the Welcome Center.

Ahearty mazel tov to Naftali Moed, son of PJCC facilities manager, Shelley Eisenman. The 16-year old Pacifica student has received the prestigious Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Award, which is granted by the Helen Diller Family Foundation. The annual award honors teen efforts that exemplify Tikkun Olam (repair the world) through socially responsible or eco-friendly work. Out of 125 students, Naftali was one of just five teens to be recognized for their innovative, environmentally conscious endeavors. His project was a
school garden that will provide students with opportunities to garden, understand irrigation systems, explore renewable- energy sources, and study landscape construction and sustainable agriculture.

Over 200 PJCC members and staff participated in Healthy Strides, an 8-week walking challenge. Stay tuned for PJCC’s next fitness challenge!
This coming year promises to be full of challenges and adventure. The PJCC is developing a new, three-year strategic plan effective July 2012 through June 2015. A board
committee, along with staff representation, will be working on this ambitious project during the fall months. Kathy Reich, a PJCC Board Member and Vice President, is chairing the committee that will lay the groundwork to identify aspirations, ambitions and goals. I’m excited about
what the future holds. We hope to unveil our plan this coming January, so stay tuned!
Camp = Fun. Did you notice our camp’s new name? We thought Camp Keff (Hebrew for fun) was appropriate because when is PJCC summer camp not an absolute blast? And this summer was no exception, especially with exciting new teen camps like Glee, Soaked and Stoked, and Race the Bay. New specialties were also added, including Urban Beats and Urban Arts. This year, camp was particularly special for me because my niece, Abee, visiting from Vancouver, was a counselor-in-training (CIT). Thanks to her, I enjoyed an insider’s peak of a counselor’s daily routine, and confirmed
what I’ve always known: we have an incredibly talented, bright and caring staff.
Speaking of youth, after just one season, our new licensed after school program, Treehouse at the J, is expanding to accommodate public demand! We’re very proud of its success and invite you to check it out, if you haven’t already. Treehouse at the J is full this year, but it’s never too soon to get on the list for next year. Finally, we just opened Club J, a new drop-in childcare program with special activities for kids ages 5 – 12. Moving forward, we hope to continue expanding our after school program with new and exciting offerings.
looking Forward By Deborah Pinsky, Executive Director, PJCC
