JCA BUILDING HOURS
This time of year is known for three things; heat, summer camp, and more heat! Here at the JCA, we are ramping up for all of it – our outdoor pool is open, and camp staff have put together a fantastic summer program. This year, more so than others in recent memory, will be incredibly important in the lives of so many children who have lived through a strange and difficult time. We are ready and excited to help make it a great one.
The extraordinary generosity of our community shined through the storm of the pandemic like a beacon. From staff taking it upon themselves to help members with groceries and doctor’s appointments to breaking records at this year’s annual fundraiser – a 100% virtual event – helping us meet the needs of our community, there is a great deal to celebrate at our JCA as we review this past year. This crisis has been a test for communities across the country, and we have emerged more committed than ever to being the common meeting ground for all and supporting people throughout their lives. The work we do is critically important in the lives of thousands of people, and it is clear there is more need for our services in this community than ever before. We are incredibly thankful for the support in pursuit of our mission to serve and are always looking for ways to dig even deeper. We have recently been welcoming back many members we have not seen in over a year for personal training, classes, or getting together with friends. It is an exciting time in the building and hope you will come see us when you are comfortable to do so. As always, we will welcome you back with smiling faces and exceptional service. Yours in service,

“As my ancestors planted before me, so shall I plant for future generations.” - Talmud
Summer camp, overnight or day, has a positive, lasting positive impact on not just the children, but adults as well, who have the opportunity to participate. For those who have attended or worked a camp, the evidence is in the memories, selfconfidence and friendships gained. Alumni of our summer camp will tell you it’s more than just a place to be during the summer – it’s a chance to lean into interests, explore relationships, and more than anything else, have loads of fun! From sports to STEM to arts to swimming, summer at the JCA is a fantastic experience, and we offer hundreds of thousands of dollars in financial assistance every year to families who need a bit of help to access programming like camp. Chip in to our Send a Kid to Camp campaign at jcajax.org/donate and help make this the best summer ever for children in our community.

June 2021
Youth athletics is an invaluable tool in helping children build good sportsmanship, confidence and discipline, encouraging a lifetime of leading by example. Our decades of experience and excellence in coaching children of all abilities makes our program open and fun for everyone involved. We pride ourselves on offering a supportive environment in all that we do, including youth athletics, and have invested significant time and energy in ensuring high quality, safe programming. Our youth athletics programming includes upwards of 160 children and their families from all walks of life each season and draws hundreds of spectators to events. Sponsorship at any level not only demonstrates your support for youth athletics and the JCA but gets your logo in front of thousands of community members, here at the JCA, in our materials, and online. Thank you for considering sponsoring youth athletics at the JCA. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, your tax deductible donation aids us greatly in offsetting the costs associated with operating our swim, basketball, and flag football leagues.

Review A YEAR IN
It has been a journey, to say the least, but with 10,304 visits in the month of April – the most we have had since reopening last year – and a positive membership trajectory, the JCA is not only back on track but coming out of this pandemic stronger than ever. Even though our annual fundraiser – known for being an awesome party celebrating our JCA – was completely virtual this past February, we broke fundraising and attendance records, demonstrating our strength and resilience, and allowing us to increase the amount of financial assistance we can offer from $330,000 to $ 430,000 this year.
We felt it necessary to reopen in May of last year, after closing for nearly two months, because community members needed help with everything from a safe place for children to participate in remote learning while parents in essential jobs worked, to accessing physical training and wellness programming for our members. Members and staff have adapted to intensive cleaning schedules, spreading equipment and classes out, mandatory masking policies, and hand sanitizing stations to keep us all safe, and we are incredibly thankful for the patience and effort of everyone coming into our building.
While our JCA experienced a loss of over $1 million during this past year, we weathered the worst of the pandemic because of our community’s generosity and commitment to keeping us open. Members, funding partners, and donors stepped up to make sure we had the resources necessary to keep everyone employed and provide a safe facility, and our staff went above and beyond to check in with and support those in our community who became suddenly isolated because of the crisis.
Having to cancel in person classes was difficult, and we innovated in the virtual space, providing personal training, fitness classes, and cultural arts programming when coming into our building was not possible. The JCA Fitness Facebook group was transformed into a virtual gym, with thousands of hours of JCA-produced content shared for free, and we saw more attendance at our Cultural Arts Festival, and other events, held almost exclusively virtually, than when they were held only in person. People are itching to stay connected, and we aim to continue to be the “common meeting ground.” We are working to build virtual components into our programming going forward to meet people where they are. The return of our summer camp is shaping up to be a great one, and we are proud to be able to provide a muchneeded fun summer for kids after a year of physical distancing. Continuing our demonstrated excellence, we were the recipient of Folio’s Best of Jax award in the fitness center, fitness Facebook group, personal trainer, and yoga instructor categories and runner up for best nonprofit. It is an honor to serve Jacksonville, and we are always looking for the best ways to do so. We have exciting new offerings in fitness and athletics, cultural arts, and youth programming, with more coming soon. Come in and see us!

JEWISH EDUCATION In May, we collected new kids’ underwear and socks for the Fanny Landwirth Clothes Closet at Jewish Family and Community Services (JFCS). Throughout June, look for a table in the lobby, or on the Traditions cart, to make cards to brighten the day for local Holocaust survivors. The JCA is excited to start a new project called Monthly Member Mitzvah! The Hebrew word, mitzvah, means “commandment”, but can also mean “good deed”. Each month we will either have a collection drive or an activity in the lobby that you can participate in that will benefit our community.
In July, we will be collecting school supplies for local students. Check your JCA email for specific supplies we will be collecting. Thank you so much for participating and helping others in our community!

MICHELE BLOCK GAN YELADIM
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN FOR 2021 - 2022 SCHOOL YEAR
New Michele Block Gan Yeladim Preschool & Kindergarten Director Named By Danielle Wirsansky
We are excited to announce that Natalia Fisher was named the new director of the JCA’s Michele Block Gan Yeladim Preschool and Kindergarten. Natalia will be only the third director in the school’s 32-year history at the JCA. She previously served as the school’s Pedagogista, joining the team in 2018. Fisher came to our school from China as an internationally recognized educator and a graduate of NYU’s Steinhardt School with a master’s in early childhood and early childhood special education. Natalia succeeds Theresa Levy, who served Gan Yeladim for 29 years. In addition, Donna Jacoby has been promoted to Associate Director of Gan Yeladim. Donna has been with the school for over 20 years and served in many different roles, including Kindergarten Assistant Teacher, Assistant Director, and most recently, Administrative Coordinator. The school’s staff and families, past and present, are so grateful to Levy’s longstanding contributions to our school and are excited for the opportunities that Natalia’s leadership will bring in the future.
Theresa Levy’s Legacy Continues By Chelsea Jarrell
Theresa Levy first started working at the JCA as a substitute teacher when her children Bernie and Marie-Claire attended Gan Yeladim Preschool back in 1992. Her passion for children continued to grow as she became a mommy and me instructor, the assistant director, and then the Early Childhood Education Director. Gan Yeladim preschool saw tremendous growth in enrollment under Theresa’s leadership. She continually aimed for excellence in everything she did. Theresa went through a rigorous process of maintaining our National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accreditation. She started long lasting partnerships in the Jacksonville community with places such as The Jacksonville Symphony, The Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens, The Museum of Science and History and The St. Johns Riverkeeper. These partnerships benefitted the students directly by providing enriching experiences. Theresa started the Early Childhood Annual Professional Development Conference which grew into the Educator Support Network and is offered to professionals in our community still today. Her hard work, efforts, and love for Gan Yeladim and our community for the past 29 years have not gone unnoticed. We are excited for Theresa to continue on to the next step of her life as she ends one chapter and opens another. She will be stepping into our Early Childhood Education Alumni Coordinator role. Thank you Theresa for all that you have done for Michele Block Gan Yeladim Preschool and Kindergarten, the JCA, and our community. We are so happy for you and we are excited to continue to see you around the JCA!

FITNESS AND WELLNESS
NTH
Sandra Lee Sandra struggled with weight since adolescence. In 2019, she joined a gym and injured herself so badly she missed a week of work. After encouragement from friends, Sandra joined the JCA in January 2020. “I was inspired to join for the pool and three sessions with a trainer who would show me how not to hurt myself in the gym.” Even before becoming a member, Sandra attended cultural arts and Jewish programming through the years and always enjoyed seeing community members at events. Sandra committed to her health goals and developed a consistent fitness routine at the JCA. But it was Sandra’s esophageal health that provided the turning point in her weight loss journey. Sandra’s doctor worried that her severe acid reflux could lead to cancer. After many tests, he suggested bariatric surgery. A healthier bodyweight would greatly improve the safety and results of future procedures. “I’d never been told before that the heartburn I’ve had since childhood could potentially end my life. It was such a shock.” info@jcajax.org
In June 2020, Sandra underwent a gastric division with reconstruction and hernia repair. “I feel like it saved my life.” Initial recovery restricted Sandra to a liquid only diet, then slowly introduced more foods. Even though the surgery was a huge catalyst for weight loss, Sandra maintains small portions and keeps certain foods completely off limits. “Every day I am eating more mindfully and feeling better than ever.” Sandra also works out in the JCA pool for an hour twice a week, and sometimes on a bike or treadmill. She attends aqua aerobics classes and Dance Trance or Zumba when she can and visits the Wellness Connexion often.
Starting at 339 pounds and over 50% body fat, Sandra now weighs 202 pounds, an 137-pound weight loss and 51% reduction in fat mass. Sandra’s blood glucose has returned to healthy levels allowing her to stop taking some medications. “I used to take 10 pills a day, but now it’s just two. I am not at my goal weight yet, but for the first time I can see it on the horizon.”
The Maccabees were Jewish rebel warriors and heroes of the Chanukah story. Maccabee means “hammer” and has become a symbol of physical might, spiritual strength, and mental resilience in the face of adversity.

First Coast Futsal Academy By Mike May
Futsal places a large emphasis on technical skill in high pressure situations which can be translated into the outdoor game. The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pinpoint passing. Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills. We hope your athletes will join Coach Jose Neto for a fun summer of skill development with the First Coast Futsal Academy.
