a letter from our chairman Dear Members, By the time you receive this edition of the JCC Scene, we will be in the midst of the summer season. We hope your plans include taking advantage of the MJCC water park, checking out a J-Fit class in the fitness center, participating in the adult sports leagues, checking out some of our new tennis classes and clinics, letting your kids spend their days at camp, or taking part in any of our other summer offerings. For those of you still filling in your summer calendars, here are a few things to consider: • There’s still time to register for MJCC Day Camp. Browse our great sports and specialty camps, as well as our traditional and Early Childhood Center camps at jccmemphis.org/camp2016. • The popular Summer Nights at the J movie series returns to our outdoor waterpark Thursday nights in June and July. This year we’re featuring five movies. • Don’t miss out on the Adult Sports Leagues and all the new Tennis offerings. • The crown jewel of the Fitness department, J-Fit, is going strong with several classes every week to help keep you strong. The rest of the MJCC will be busy with lots of activities for you and your family. In this MJCC Scene, you’ll find the outstanding programming that our staff has developed for the back-to-school season through early October, including our fifth annual Jewish Literary and Cultural Arts Festival. We already have some huge authors signed on to feature. Keep on the lookout for those announcements. If you have any questions or feedback about the MJCC, please do not hesitate to contact me. You can reach me at chairman@jccmemphis.org or feel free to reach out to Larry Skolnick at (901) 761.0810 or lskolnick@jccmemphis.org. B’Shalom,

shainberg art gallery BluesWax II: Cycles of Perception

Opening Reception: Thursday, August 18 • 5:30–7:30pm In the Gallery August 15–September 16 Light from a work of art is “seen” by the red, green, blue sensors of the eye. But we don’t yet understand it until it travels to the back of our brain where it is interpreted and we finally perceive it. Each of us perceives the work slightly differently, thus contributing to and completing the artistic process that began with the artist making a mark on a canvas, piece of paper, etc. We call this the cycles of perception, and, as you view each of the pieces in this exhibit, you are participating in this process and, therefore, are a part of the process of the creation of art.

About the Artist: Norman Soskel Starting at the age of four with the encouragement of his photographer father, Soskel’s interest in photography evolved through three homemade conventional darkrooms into digital schemes. Influencing this development was the 10 years during which he studied the piano, competed locally and regionally in Virginia, and gave several solo recitals, the last of which was in Caball Hall at the University of Virginia. Combining the visual and auditory aspects of the artistic milieu continues to shape many of his works. Integral to his theses is the notion of the fluidity of art and the necessity of the viewer to the overall process. In the last 15 years his artistic endeavors have lead to multiple solo and juried group shows as well as local, national and international. Soskel has been an ardent participant in international conferences related to encaustic painting and continues to participate in their workshops. After gaining practical acumen he now teaches workshops utilizing encaustic, often incorporating photography, serigraphy and other techniques. In order to disseminate this information further he formed a group, BluesWax, for artists with an interest in using encaustic in their works.

Rebecca Chappell Rebecca Chappell has been working in various art mediums since the 1970’s. Beginning in watercolor, she moved to oil and acrylic. These mediums almost immediately evolved into painting mixed media/collage pieces. Her work in wax media began with encaustic and, most recently, has moved into work with cold wax. One reason she is interested in the ancient encaustic medium because it lends itself to the use of collage elements so easily. She also enjoys the medium’s unpredictability. The translucency and the unpredictability of both encaustic and cold wax offer the same appeal that watercolor had for her early in her career.

Judith Barrie Judith Barrie currently lives in Germantown, Tennessee. Her love for art, music, drama, dance, and photography was inspired by her parents, who shared their appreciation of the fine arts with her through drawing and music lessons. She received a Master of Science in Educational Media from Radford University using her own photographic images, silk-screen work and music to create installations and to illustrate children’s literature. She has studied art in southern Spain, the Umbrian region of Italy, numerous local workshops, as well as the Memphis College of Art, and the University of Memphis. Judith displayed work in the 2015 juried exhibition at the Castle Hill Gallery, in Truro MA, and recently was the recipient a scholarship to attend the 10th International Encaustic Conference in Provincetown, MA. follow us on facebook at www.facebook.com/memphisjcc

jewish family service David Bernstein, M.D. is a highly respected physician who is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Geriatrics, practicing in Clearwater, Florida. His 30 years of experience have provided him with opportunities to observe and empathize with thousands of adults as they age. His compassion and ability to see the souls of his patients has compelled him to share his stories in his book, I’ve Got Some Good News and Some Bad News: You’re OLD: Tales of a Geriatrician What to Expect in Your 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and Beyond. Dr. Bernstein is an avid public speaker, addressing various medical topics with a focus on families facing complex problems as they near the end of life. “When you give, you get back” he says about what his patients have told him and taught him about life and aging.
