Winter/Spring 2019 Program Guide


Dear Members,
As we head into 2019 and think about what a wonderful year we’ve had at the J, it makes me smile to think about our accomplishments – which wouldn’t have been possible without you, our amazing members, donors, participants and volunteers! Just a few examples…

– A record number of campers attended Camp Sabra, offering the opportunity for children to both further discover their Jewish identity and help them prepare for adulthood – and 2019 may be another record-breaker!

– Sababa, our inaugural Jewish Arts & Culture Festival, brought together many elements of our Jewish and at-large community

– All of our Early Childhood Center were well prepared for the Kindergarten challenges that awaited them, as we received great feedback from many of their teachers.

– We hosted our most successful J’la – the J’s Fundraising Gala – to date, allowing us to continue to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship.

As January approaches, we are also excited about what lies ahead: we will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Staenberg Family Complex in just a few months! Our state-of-the-art Fitness & Wellness Center has seen thousands upon thousands enter for myriad events, classes, programs and more. When we opened, became a model of excellence for Jewish Community Centers across the country. This would not have happened without the professionalism of our staff, and the passion and energy our members bring with them on every visit. Thank you!

We are proud to continually bring you the best in fitness, group exercise, recreational sports, and aquatics. We hope you will take the new year as an opportunity to discover something new we can offer you. Whether it’s a new group exercise class, a massage, a trainer-led conditioning program, or even enrolling your little one in our Splash Academy (swim lessons) program – whatever the reason, we welcome you to discover it at the J.

We can’t wait to celebrate the anniversary of the Staenberg Family Complex with you. Be on the lookout for details. I hope you’ll look through this guide, chat with our staff or peruse our website to find something new to try – I am positive a wonderful new experience is just around the corner.

Happy and Healthy New Year to all!

Lynn Wittels
