Welcome From the JCC President Over the past year, lay leaders and staff at the JCC have been working together to develop a blueprint for making the JCC the “Go To” place for Wellness in the community.

Here are our goals for the coming year: 1. Create wellness opportunities for the male Orthodox Community. We realize that Orthodox men are often pulled in many different directions and their free time is limited. We are starting to develop programs that are appropriate and meaningful.

2. Partner with medical/wellness based organizations that can complement the facilities and programs that the JCC offers.

This will enable us to offer more comprehensive services to our members.

3. Partner with organizations that promote health and disease prevention. We want to help our members ward off illness and find the best ways to deal with their physical limitations.

4. Incorporate a nutrition component into existing programs and create independent programs based primarily on nutritional education. An example of this is our Healthy Choices program in the Owings Mills Stoler Early Childhood Center which has been incredibly effective in educating and promoting healthy eating and exercise with children, parents and staff.

6. Develop programs that include the entire family. We will be providing opportunities for families to come together for wellness activities.

What will underlie all of these Wellness initiatives? An atmosphere that is both welcoming and familiar.

At the JCC, our staff knows that one of our biggest priorities is to connect with our members and to help build an environment where everyone feels part of our community. If you are not finding this experience, we want to know about it.

We welcome your ideas and comments as we proceed and as always, want to do all we can to make your experience with the JCC satisfying and meaningful.

Swimming Lesson Policy Sometimes the pool becomes unavailable for swimming lessons due to circumstances beyond our control.

If the pool is unavailable for swimming lessons due to inclement weather or health & safety related issues; our instructors will conduct a land-based session including either water safety and/or land-based stroke drills at the instructor’s discretion.

Make-up lessons will not be scheduled if a water session needs to be missed for one of these reasons. The JCC does not provide refunds for missed water sessions.

Healthy Choices in Owings MIlls Our students learn about sometimes foods and anytime foods by following the new Food Plate. They also learn about portions, vitamins, minerals and the benefits of physical activity. By eating together as a group, family-style, children take charge of how much and what they eat. They are encouraged to recognize when they are hungry and when they are full. With daily activities and lessons focused on eating right and getting exercise our students are learning wellness skills that will empower them to make healthy choices throughout their life.

Vincent van Gogh was an artist of exceptional intensity, not only in his use of color and exuberant application of paint, but also in his personal life.

Drawn powerfully to nature, his works– particularly those created in the years just before he took his own life–engage the viewer with the strength of his emotions.

Radically altering and often outright abandoning traditional painting techniques, Van Gogh created still life’s and landscapes unlike anything that had ever been seen before. He experimented with depth of field and focus. He used shifting perspectives and brought familiar objects “up close” into the foreground. And he produced some of the most original works of his career; works that dramatically altered the course of modern painting.

Through some 40 masterpieces borrowed from collections around the world, Van Gogh Up Close is the first exhibition to explore the reasons and means by which this impassioned artist made such unusual changes to his painting style in the final years of his life.

Fee: $65/M, $90/NM includes exhibition tickets, deluxe coach transportation, and snacks on the bus. Lunch on your own in the museum café or surrounding restaurants. Kosher box lunch available for an additional $10. Depart 8:00am Park Heights, 8:30 am from Owings Mills. Return approx 6:00 pm.

BALTIMORE JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL at the Gordon Center For Performing Arts

Thru April 30, 2012

David Sunday, April 15; 3:00pm Directors: Joel Fendelman & Patrick Daly USA 2011; English Special Jury Award - Napa Valley Film Festival 2011 As the son of the Imam of the local Brooklyn mosque, eleven year-old Daud has to juggle the high expectations of his Father (Maz Jobrani) and his feelings of isolation– even from his peers in the Muslim community.

Through an innocent act of good faith, Daud inadvertently befriends a group of Jewish boys who mistake him as a fellow classmate at their orthodox school, in the neighboring Jewish community. A genuine friendship grows between Daud and Yoav, one of the Jewish boys, and his family.

Unable to resist the joy of a camaraderie that he has never felt before, David, as he is known to the kids, is drawn into a complicated dilemma inspired by youthful deceit and the best of intentions.

An Article of Hope Tuesday, April 17; 7:30pm Director: Daniel Cohen USA; 2011; English Dawn is breaking on the morning of February 1, 2003 above West Texas when the peace of the early morning is shattered by two loud bangs. The Space Shuttle Columbia is speeding toward a Florida homecoming, but onlookers and controllers in Houston suddenly realize that something has gone horribly wrong. The shuttle has broken up, vanished! Gone is its precious cargo of seven astronauts from around the world, including Col. Ilan Ramon, Israel’s first Astronaut. Also gone is a tiny Torah scroll – smuggled into a concentration camp during the Holocaust; safeguarded

by Joachim Joseph, a Holocaust survivor; and carried into space by Col. Ramon. This unique story interweaves the heights of scientific achievement, the depths of a nation’s cruelty, the private grief of a boy

who came of age during the Holocaust, and the public mourning of many nations in the aftermath of the Columbia Shuttle disaster.

An Article of Hope fulfills the promise that a boy in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp made during the Holocaust, to use the Torah scroll to tell the world what happened in the camp. This film explores the journey of the Torah from pre-World War II Europe, to Israel, and then to space.

Guest Speaker: Director Daniel Cohen

Mabul (The Flood) Sunday, April 22; 3:00pm Director: Guy Nattiv Israel 2001; Hebrew with English subtitles 2011 Israeli Film Academy Award for Best Actor - Michael Moshonov Yoni is almost 13, gifted, but physically undeveloped. He struggles daily to grow up before his upcoming Bar Mitzvah. He sells homework in order to secretly buy a body building wonder powder. He stretches every night with heavy weights tied to his legs and screams with full force in front of the wind to thicken his girlish, unstable voice.

His new classmates, a year older and two heads taller, bully him every chance they get. His parents barely say a word to each other and communicate through him. As if all this isn’t enough, only a week before the ceremony, his 17-year-old autistic brother, Tomer returns home. This shakes not only Yoni’s life, but the unstable foundation of his entire family.

Wunderkinder Wednesday, April 25; 7:30pm Director: Markus Rosenmüller Germany 2011; German with English subtitles Avner Shalev Yad Vashem Chairman’s Award Jerusalem 2011 From the producers of Europa Europa comes this universal tale of musical prodigies whose friendship overcomes barriers of religion and nationality. Jewish siblings Larissa and Abrascha are violin virtuosos. Hanna, a young German girl, is also extremely gifted.

Living in the small Ukrainian town of Poltava in 1941, they are united by a passion for music. When the Nazis invade, the children’s Jewish and German families must save each other from the forces of both fascism and Communism. Real-life musicians, Elin Kolev and Mathilda Adamik, along with child actor Imogen Burrell, give endearing performances in this mesmerizing Holocaust drama that is told from a child’s point of view.

The Time of Silence (Le Temps du Silence) Monday, April 30; 7:30pm Director: Franck Apprederis France 2011; French with English subtitles Manuel spent 18 months in Buchenwald.

Shortly before returning to Paris, he had already started to wonder how he could talk about this experience. Who will listen?

Who will have the necessary patience and compassion? That summer of homecoming, in 1945, in his encounters with men and women from outside, sensitive to his gaze, a devastated gaze, Manuel chose silence. A silence of survival. In fact, he’s not certain that he survived at all.
