A Message from Rhona Shore Executive Director

M

is looking forward to providing a variety of engagement opportunities for people to connect, grow, and learn through virtual and onsite programs that enrich, build, and strengthen community.

y name is Rhona Shore and I am the Executive Director here at the Paperny Family JCC. I am excited to introduce myself to all our new members and reintroduce myself to the many individuals and families I have been fortunate to know in my 16 years at the Centre.

Our fall guide is filled with diverse programming within all of our specialty departments: Early Childhood, Children, Youth and Teen programs, Aquatics, Fitness and Wellness, Sports & Recreation, Golden Age, Arts & Culture, special events, and so much more!

I spent a number of years working in our children’s programs department, followed by my position as program director, and the assistant executive director. The JCC is truly my “home away from home” and I am thrilled to once again open the doors to our community living room.

The inclusive environment of the Paperny Family JCC embraces the true diversity of our community. We are proud to provide opportunities to individuals and families of all ages, shapes, abilities, race and backgrounds. We work to build community where everyone acknowledges and respects one another’s differences, while celebrating each individuals inherent uniqueness.

The past 17 months has shown us how essential it is to stay connected, whether that is virtually or in-person. The JCC staff team

YOUTH & TEENS

Teen Connect is the BBYO type experience made just for grade 7 and 8 students offering social and meaningful experiences that will serve as a gateway to continued involvement in Jewish life.

Teen Connect offers teens a variety of experiences to help bridge the gap between middle school and high school. The purpose is to provide middle school students with a positive experience in which they can get together with camp, school, and synagogue friends, as well as meet new friends.

Teen Connect allows middle school students to begin experiencing the privileges and obligations of being a member of the Jewish and general communities. A heavy focus is on the social aspect of programing, allowing for connections to be made which in turn will foster a stronger Jewish future. Teen Connect is a pipeline program that leads directly into BBYO.

Jewish Calendar 101 September - December 2021 | Tishrei - Tevet 5782*

* Holidays begin at sundown on the eve before and conclude at sundown on noted day.

High Holidays

September 7-16 1-10 Tishrei Over the High Holidays, we celebrate Rosh HaShanah (September 7-8, 1-2 Tishrei) – the head of the new year – and greet each other: Shana Tova Umetuka (Have a good and sweet year).

It is customary to bake round challah, as a metaphor of the cycle of life, and dip pieces in honey. Ten days later, we observe Yom Kippur (September 15-16, 9-10 Tishrei) – the Day of Atonement – a day of spiritual cleansing where we fast and attend synagogue for an entire day of solemn prayer. Between these two dates, there are 10 days where Jews are called to reflect on their shortcomings and transgressions; a period of introspection. During these days it is customary to go to a body of water (preferably with fish), symbolically cast our sins into the water, and leave our past shortcomings behind us, thereby starting the new year with a clean slate.

This ritual is called Tashlich.

Sukkot

September 21-28 15-22 Tishrei Named after the booths or huts (sukkot in Hebrew) where Jews are supposed to dwell during this week-long celebration.

According to rabbinic tradition, these flimsy sukkot represent the huts in which the Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of wandering in the desert after escaping from slavery in Egypt.

The festival of Sukkot is one of the three great pilgrimage festivals of the Jewish year.

Shmini Atzeret and Simchat Torah

September 28-29 22-23 Tishrei Shmini Atzeret celebrates the last day of Sukkot, while Simchat Torah observes the finishing of the reading of the Torah – the Five Books of Moses – and the immediate beginning of the reading from the first book called Bereshit (Genesis). In this manner, the annual cycle of Torah readings and studying remains unbroken. During this holiday, we dance and joyfully parade with the Torah scrolls in the synagogue.

Chanukah

November 29-December 6 25 Kislev-2 Tevet During Chanukah, we celebrate Juddah and the Maccabees defeating the Greco-Syrian army in 165 BCE. When the Maccabees regained control of the Temple they only found enough oil to light the menorah for one day, yet it miraculously lasted for eight days. This is why we now light a Chanukiyah (a candelabra with nine branches instead of seven) for eight days. Customs include exchanging gifts, playing dreidel (spin tops), winning or giving gelt (chocolate coins), and eating fried foods such as latkes (potato pancakes), sufganiyot (donuts), and any other fried foods. It is also referred to as the festival of light during the shortest days of the year and the winter solstice.

Why the Pilates Reformer?

The reformer offers all the benefits of Pilates including overall strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance – but the reformer takes exercises to the next level by adding resistance and leverage. Pilates reformer sessions are comprehensive, full-body workouts that focus on core strength and proper muscle engagement which improves athletic performance, injury recovery, weight loss, balance, and bone density – supporting proper spinal alignment. The reformer’s set-up for eccentric contraction is one of the keys to achieving the long, strong muscles without bulk for which Pilates is known.

Classes have no ability criteria, however they are designed to progress you toward a goal or event. It doesn’t matter if you are preparing for a cycling vacation, a Gran Fondo, riding off the front in a cycling event, striving for a personal best time, or simply wanting to commute more safely and competently – we want you to have goals and be motivated to achieve them.

We progress through the winter season with structured, coached classes. We don’t make pretty sets of choreography to simply pass the time. We spend our precious time in the saddle getting more competent on the bike. We get pumped about challenging ourselves, riding outside, and maybe participating in an event. There are no egos – everyone is the same speed on a trainer. The bottom line: good company, great music, and smart sessions.

GOLDEN AGE

Easy Going This class is geared toward adults who are looking for a gentler approach to fitness. The warm up and strength training are done while seated. Because weight-bearing exercise is so important, walking, posture (against a wall) and balance (holding on to a dance bar) will be done standing.

The entire class is done standing and offers various formats to keep it interesting.

Get Going Features walking, seated and standing movement for the cardio component.

Strength, balance and flexibility training are done seated or standing behind a chair. Join us for a functional fitness class to help with the various activities of everyday living. Tuesdays and Fridays feature extra focus on balance and strength training.

Gentle Chair Yoga This class is perfect for participants looking for a softer approach. Enjoy moving in and out of poses slowly with a focus on breathing, strengthening, and stretching exercises. We will explore breath work to promote relaxation.
