The Jewish Genealogical Society of Colorado presents an all-day seminar at the Denver JCC with Stephen Morse

Stephen Morse is the creator of the One-Step Website (http://stevemorse.org/) for which he received the Outstanding Contribution Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies and the Award of Merit from the National Genealogical Society. He also received the first-ever Excellence Award from the Association of Professional Genealogists. In his other life, Morse is a computer professional with a doctorate degree in electrical engineering where he is best known as the architect of the Intel 8086 (the granddaddy of today’s Pentium processor), which sparked the PC revolution 25 years ago. The One-Step website started out as an aid for finding passengers in the Ellis Island database. Shortly afterwards it was expanded to help with searching in the 1930 census. Over the years it has continued to evolve and today includes about 200 web-based tools divided into 16 separate categories ranging from genealogical searches to astronomical calculations to lastminute bidding on E-bay. This seminar will describe the range of tools available and provide highlights of each one.

2010 FALL ACTIVITY GUIDE

Early Childhood Center (ECC) (303) 316-6377 • preschool@jccdenver.org The ECC is a welcoming and inclusive community which is built on principles of trust and respect. Through the collaborative efforts of teachers, children, parents and staff, each individual is valued for his or her unique contribution to the community. We provide opportunities for everyone to learn, grow and develop a culture of mutual appreciation and respect. We believe that children are competent, curious, capable and deserving of individualized attention. Our curriculum is play-based, child-directed and emerges through the interests of each child.

Our Philosophy and Goals Our program is designed to help develop the whole child: socially, intellectually, emotionally and physically. We encourage the development of children’s inner resources: curiosity, creativity, imagination, independence, a love of learning and self–esteem. Learning to play cooperatively and building positive relationships with friends are fundamental components of our program. Our caring and experienced staff encourages joy from learning, enthusiasm for exploration and discovery and a high regard for self and others. The result is an environment that offers one of the city’s finest early childhood programs.

dren’s natural curiosity. Our Judaic curriculum is interwoven in all that we teach. We strive to provide a happy and relaxed learning situation that emphasizes the process of learning and the pleasure of discovery. As part of our belief that learning takes place through play and “hands– on” experiences, children are encouraged to develop creativity and critical thinking skills through a balance of structured activities and interactive play.

Staff and Faculty Our staff is made up of warm, caring individuals who are professionals in their field. Our faculty participates in on-going training in early childhood and Jewish education. Through age-group teamwork, teachers learn from and support one another in applying best practices in the field of early childhood educations. Our staff is enthusiastic, creative and eager to work with parents to enhance every child’s preschool experience.

Family Partnerships We view parents as an integral partner in the child’s learning experience. Teachers work with parents to learn about children’s specific needs, as well as share information about the classroom experiences. Positive relationships with parents are fundamental in the work that we do at the ECC. The Parent Volunteer Association (PVA) counts on parent involvement to enhance various aspects of our community through fundraising, special events, a family newsletter and parent education.

We Inspire Jewish Journeys Everyday experiences are infused by Jewish tradition. We encourage an exploration of the cultural, spiritual and ethical aspects of Judaism through holiday celebrations, teaching and performing gemilut chasadim (acts of loving kindness) and demonstrating respect for the world around us. An Ethical Start serves as the foundation of learning about values and ethical behavior and is a part of our classroom and parent learning communities. Teachers and parents work together to learn how the teachings of Pirkei Avot (Ethics of our Fathers) influence the way we treat each other and build our community. Fridays bring a special celebration of the Sabbath with school–wide group singing, concerts, snacks and Shabbat guests.

The Power of the Learning Environment The physical environment is viewed as an integral partner in the learning experience. We provide classroom environments that are authentic and natural in appearance and engaging and stimulating in feel. The classrooms are designed to serve as an extension of the home environment to support the child’s feeling of safety and security. Our classroom design and play–based curriculum encourage children to make choices and to work independently and in small groups. Each room holds a variety of activity centers to stimulate self–initiated learning and socialization. Developmental areas such as literacy and creative arts, math, problem solving and dramatic play are experienced through an environment which offers open-ended materials and equipment, allowing children the chance to use their imagination and creativity to foster their development.

Curriculum The ECC offers a child–centered curriculum based on an emergent approach. Through careful observation and documentation of children’s interests and play, teachers create discussion topics that capture chil-

Openings are still available in ECC classes for the 2010—2011 school year. Please call Leah Joffe at (303) 316-6377 to register. Our toddler through Pre-K program provides weekly gym and music enrichment. Children in a three-year old or four-year old program receive weekly swim instruction.

Pilates Pilates (pronounced pi-lah-teez) is a dynamic, non-impact fitness exercise program that combines stretching and strengthening movements with elements of weight training and breath work. Pilates builds core strength, elongates and balances the muscular system, brings the body into proper alignment and increases balance and flexibility. From athletes like Jason Kidd and Tiger Woods to actors like Danny Glover and Madonna, men and women around the country are reaping the benefits of Pilates. Whether you’re looking to improve your agility, build core strength, eliminate chronic back pain, take your athletic performance to another level, or maximize your body’s movement potential, Pilates can help you accomplish your goals. We offer complimentary Pilates Mat classes or we have Allegro, Tower/Chair and Combo classes as well as private and semi-private Pilates personal training available for an additional fee.

Group Allegro, Tower/Chair and Combo Classes It is easy to register for classes online at www.jccdenver.org up to 24 hours in advance. We offer four-session packages for $48 or you can drop-in for $18 (based on availability). We ask that if you need to cancel or make changes to your class, you give us 48 hours notice. Updated class schedules can be found online or pick one up at the Sports & Fitness Center.

Getting Started Package This package is for those who have never taken Pilates on a machine. Because of the unique movements and specialized equipment in the Pilates program, fundamental sessions are mandatory for participation on the Allegro. This package is $280 for seven 50-minute sessions. General classes may not be suitable for individuals with conditions or needs that may affect the ability to attend group classes. Those with special conditions should have a consultation to determine abilities. After mastering beginner classes, we encourage those ready for a bigger challenge to move up the Pilates ladder to Intermediate and Advanced Allegro classes. Scheduling additional private or semi-private

sessions to learn advanced techniques with a Pilates personal trainer is required. The ability to master movements depends on the individual and there is no set time for moving up to harder classes.

Denver Jewish Community Book Reads 2010 Dara Horn, All Other Nights Two-time National Jewish Book Award Winner Wednesday, Nov. 10, 7 p.m., Philips Social Hall $8/general admission; $6/senior, student, JCC member Sponsored by Kathy Neustadt and the NSK Neustadt Prize for Children’s Literature How is this night different from all other nights? For Jacob Rappoport, a Jewish soldier in the Union army, it is a question that his commanders have answered for him: on Passover 1862 he is ordered to murder his own uncle, who is plotting to assassinate President Lincoln. What follows is Dara Horn’s All Other Nights: a gripping epic about great moral struggles of the Civil War as seen through the eyes of a Jewish family with loyalties on both sides, divided by the Mason Dixon line. The stunning novel gives the reader an unusual glimpse into Jewish life during the Civil War period. Historical figures appear throughout the intricate tale, including Judah Benjamin, Secretary of State to Jefferson Davis and the first Jewish cabinet member in American history. Combining romance within a historical spy novel and political thriller, this is a tale that masterfully deals with the complexities of the period. The intricate workings of an African-American spy network is also woven within the story and uncovers yet another little known aspect of the war. All Other Nights is a suspenseful story of men and women driven to the extreme limits of loyalty and betrayal. It is also a brilliant parable of the rift in America that lingers a century and a half later: between those who value family and tradition first and those dedicated, at any cost, to the social and racial justice for all. www.darahorn.com The book All Other Nights, is on sale now at the MACC box office and JCC front desk. Proceeds benefit the MACC.

EXHIBITIONS Splendor and Awe: The Visionary Midrash of Nahum Ha-Levi Oct. 27—Jan. 2 Opening Reception for the Artist: Oct. 27, 5:30—8 p.m. Nahum Ha-Levi is a singularly original painter of biblical subjects whose work is not only artistically compelling on many levels, but who also presents biblical narrative in a distinctly Jewish “midrashic” manner. Ha-Levi, otherwise known as Dr. Nathan Moskowitz, is also Chief of Neurosurgery at Shady Grove Hospital in Rockville, Maryland. Painting the Hebrew Bible (Tanach), which is steeped in heritage and history and encrusted in mystery and metaphysics, became for Ha-Levi an ideally combined literary and visual vehicle with which was an attempt to grasp the transcendent meaning of Judaism – and by extension to understand the underlying nature, structure and essence of the universe.

Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief... or will it? Please note that students who sign up for this class are committed to participation through our winter semester (ending with our performance on March 15).

MACC gratefully acknowledges the extraordinary ongoing support of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). Thanks to its vital funding, MACC is able to bring you quality programs and events like the ones you enjoy all year. Indeed, without SCFD, the cultural landscape of Colorado’s Front Range would be far less vibrant and diverse. The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) resulted from the 1988 initiative in which Denver voters awarded a one-tenth of 1% sales tax for the direct funding of non-profit cultural organizations within the six metro Denver counties. The funds support cultural facilities whose primary purpose is to enlighten and entertain the public through the production, presentation, exhibition, advancement and preservation of art, music, theatre, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history. Over the last two decades, hundreds of non-profit arts and science organizations have received funding from SCFD, supporting thousands of programs and events that have been enjoyed by millions of people. Quality programming that MACC offers year-round is made possible through the continued support of taxpayers like you. For more information, please visit the SCFD website at www.scfd.org
