The J is open to people of all races, faiths and ethnic backgrounds. Get involved. Join us for a class. Exercise the mind or body. Enjoy a cultural event or holiday program. We have something for everyone here at the J.
Dear Members and Friends,
Here comes summer! Soon, the sights and sounds of J Day Camps will fill the campuses…and the gyms…and the pools! (I love it all!) It makes me so happy to watch the children make friends, sing camp and Shabbat songs at the top of their lungs, learn to swim and learn new skills, no matter which camp they attend. I hope you’ll spend lots of time this summer at the J.
I also hope you’ll take the time to look through our new Program Guide – we’ve tried to make it easier to discover activities by age, across all departments. We hope you’ll discover programs and activities that connect you to your interests: poolside yoga, family playdates, films and music – maybe you’d like to enter the Tough Mudder as a member of Team J!
No matter what your interests may be, on behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff, we look forward to seeing you at the J. And if you would like to see a program we don’t currently offer, please let me know.
See page 41 for several volunteer opportunities at the J.

6 wks-2 yrs
Starting as young as six weeks, our infant and toddler classrooms provide a caring and nurturing environment. Our professional educators, along with our families, provide high-quality, individualized, responsive and stimulating experiences that will influence your child’s growth and learning experience.

We help children build cognitive skills, preparing them for success in multiple academic areas, including reading, math and science. Areas of focus also include character, social and emotional, gross motor and executive functioning.
“A parent teacher conference when our daughter is six months old? You’re kidding right? I just laughed and shook my head. But jump forward five years and our daughter is in kindergarten and testing off the charts in both reading, writing, and math. The J’s ECC prepared her so well for kindergarten, that she’s six years old and writing complete sentences and reading Dr. Seuss books cover to cover. I’m not laughing any more. The J is worth every penny.”

SMALL GROUP TRAINING
Why small group training?
Small group training with a certified personal trainer offers an affordable, fun way for clients to take advantage of a trainer’s expertise at a lower financial investment — all while keeping the fun and competitiveness of a group dynamic. Groups generally never exceed 10 participants which allow your trainer to truly instruct you on the moves, help make small corrections as along the way and create a fun, high-quality workout.
Workouts may be tailored to different equipment, body weight, purpose, and more, but all are designed to provide significant benefits to participants. The J has several options as you find your path on your fitness journey. We want you to discover what works for you, so please try a class, meet other members, and find what motivates you! You love the results!

New this Summer!
Sunrise Yoga
12 yrs and older
Join instructor Carley Alves, our newest Fox Assistant Fitness Manager, as she leads a new 55 minute early morning poolside yoga program. This practice will be comprised of a gentle flow style with balance poses and stretching. Reenergize and restore yourself to go about your summer days with mindfulness and balance. Consider hitting the fitness center for some cardio prior to class, to optimize the effects of yoga, both building strength and increasing your flexibility to minimize your aches and pains.
We’ll customize a personalized goal-oriented Yoga program to build strength, flexibility and balance through a combination of breathing techniques and flowing connective movements. Yoga is the practice of balancing the negative and positive energies while harmonizing body, breath and mind.
Indoor cycling is a very popular class and is a super-charged way to burn calories! Gather yourself and/or friends and sweat to your own private workout. This can be one-on-one or as a group of up to 25! Why not push your friends for your next birthday and make them earn that piece of cake!
Mobility and flexibility is a critical component of physical performance and is equally important for your overall health. Simply “stretching” may not be enough or as effective as the techniques trainers can offer. In a series of 15-minute sessions, our trainers can employ a variety of partner-assisted stretching and foam rolling techniques to maximize your results. Benefits may include:
• reduced arthritic symptoms
• improved physical performance
• improved posture and range of motion
• decreased deterioration of joints
• reduced risk of pain (low back, joints, muscles)
• improved muscle coordination and overall movement
Purchased in bundles of four 15-minute sessions.

Nishmah
Nishmah inspires, engages and supports girls and women through educational, spiritual and social programming. Through a collaborative model, Nishmah strengthens the St. Louis Jewish community.
Sharsheret Supports, a Program of Nishmah
Adult women
Sharsheret Supports is a collaborative project of Nishmah and the national, not-forprofit Sharsheret organization. Sharsheret, Hebrew for “chain,” supports women and families of all Jewish backgrounds, facing breast and ovarian cancer. Our mission is to offer a community of support to those diagnosed with or survivors of breast or ovarian cancer, and to those at increased genetic risk. With our support and education, individuals can better manage their needs and potential risk factors. Sharsheret recognizes and embraces the full spectrum of diversity within our community.
This monthly group provides support, connection and education to women who have been diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer and are anywhere along their treatment path – before, during, or post treatment. Facilitated by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Newcomers are always welcome, along with female family and friends. A light kosher dinner is served.
This one-on-one peer support system connects individuals who are diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer with others who share similar diagnoses and experiences. Connect with others who have experienced similar health challenges and can offer support and advice.
Are you interested in serving as an “ambassador” to raise awareness of the increased risk of hereditary cancers within the Jewish community? Ambassadors are the conduit for sharing information about available support programs and resources. You don’t need to be an expert, but rather a community member who wants to learn about the issues and help educate others.
Salons are facilitated discussions intended to connect, engage and develop intelligent conversations on interesting topics to us as Jewish women. We begin with a salon focused on preparing us spiritually for the Jewish New Year. This program is named for Ilene Joseph z”l, one of Nishmah’s founders and a passionate supporter of the Salon Series.
