a letter from our chairman Dear Members, It has been an honor and my pleasure these past two years being Chair of the Board of the Memphis Jewish Community Center. I have had the opportunity of leading a vibrant organization born over 68 years ago with its main goal, “Connecting, Engaging and Strengthening Jewish Memphis” as stated in our Mission Statement. Thank you to Larry Skolnick and his excellent team of innovative staff, as well to the many volunteers who have served on various committees during my tenure. Our MJCC continues to be a gathering place of our diverse Jewish community, and I look forward to being a part of its continued success. At the MJCC’s Annual Meeting on Sunday, April 2 at 4:30pm, I will pass the gavel to the incoming Chair, Elise Jordan. A native Memphian and the current Executive Vice President and CFO for FedEx Express, Elise spent her early years growing up at the MJCC and has since watched her children do the same. As an officer on the Board of Directors, Elise has served in almost every vice-chair capacity before rising to the position of Chair-elect. We are very excited that Elise has accepted the nomination to become our next Chair of the Board. Please join us at this meeting to vote for the new slate of MJCC Board Members, hear a recap of our accomplishments and what the future holds for the MJCC. The meeting will begin promptly at 4:30pm in the Belz Social Hall followed by a reception. MJCC Summer Camp registration is now open for ages 3 through 10th grade. This summer we are introducing FUN FRIDAY’S for traditional campers where one week our campers will “travel around the world” and each Friday thereafter will be experiencing something new. Other new camp programs this year are: Fun and Fabrics, J Ninja Warrior, Aikido, Advanced LEGO®, and Puppetry. Returning this summer are STEAM, LEGO®, Circus Camp, Chess, Theatre, Rock, and Sports camps. To learn more about camp and to register, get a copy of the brochure at the Member Service Desk or view it online at jccmemphis.org/camp August registration in the Early Childhood Center is filling up quickly. Please encourage your friends and family to call the ECC at (901) 761-0810 to explore enrollment in our state-of-the art classrooms or any of our programs. Thank you to members, staff, and volunteers who make the MJCC a place for everyone. I look forward to seeing you soon! B’Shalom,

Gary Makowsky

debate. To serve our mission faithfully, the CJLL also requires a Chavruta – a role we turn over to our members. The CJLL Community Voices Initiative is but one conscious forum for us to hear and grow from each of you.

Running Dialogue Running Dialogue is a monthly talk back initiative where we solicit answers from our community to seemingly simple questions knowing that the answers are likely to inspire, educate and entertain us beyond anything we can imagine as we draft them. You can answer these questions and grow from the answers of others via MJCC’s social media and website, or by submitting your response to Rabbi Harris.

Shavuot - Beers of the Field (Age 21+) Saturday, May 20 • 10:00pm–12:00am Gear up for Shavuot as you enjoy tasting various foods and beers produced from the species found in Megillat Rut (the Book of Ruth). Early Access Happy Hour for our “After Hours at the J” Young Professionals starting at 9:00pm.

Upcoming Questions: Apr: What are your favorite family Seder customs? May: Where is your favorite place to go in Israel? Jun: What is your favorite Jewish quote?

Early To Bed (ETB) Shabbat Dinners June 16, July 7, & August 4 These kid-friendly and cost effective dinners (catered by Holy Cow) are designed to bring our diverse MJCC community together for a preShabbat ‘Shabbat dinner’ during those late summer nights.

Saul Balagura The exhibit will take place at the MJCC during the full month of May The MJCC is again partnering with Memphis in May! We will be hosting an exhibit featuring the work of Saul Balagura which will be on display during the month of May. Saul Balagura was born in Cali, Colombia. At age seventeen, he had his first solo exhibit. Throughout his life he moved in parallel universes of arts and sciences. The self-taught artist holds an M.D. from Universidad del Valle, a Ph.D. in Psychology from Princeton University and a Neurosurgery degree from Albert Einstein Medical Center. In 1994, he retired from the world of science and opened a studio, first in Tesuque, New Mexico and since 2006 in Houston, Texas. His expressionistic work is a direct result of the interaction of his background with artistic influences from artists as varied as William de Kooning, Eduardo Guayasamin, el Greco, Pablo Neruda and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States. follow us on facebook at www.facebook.com/memphisjcc
