Summer 2019

WELCOME Dear Members, This spring, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of opening the doors of the Staenberg Family Complex – Fitness & Wellness Building – and what an amazing ride it’s been! It feels like yesterday that we welcomed dignitaries, board members and the extraordinary (then) 102-year-old patriarch, I.E. Millstone, to address the large gathering. And what we have been able to do since 2009 has surpassed all of our goals. With your support and commitment to the J’s mission, we have hosted more than 10 million visits to our three campuses – SFC, the Marilyn Fox Building and Camp Sabra! We have taught thousands of kids to swim, doubled the number of campers at Camp Sabra, fostered more intergenerational activities with our Early Childhood Center, cultivated the Garden of Eden, created the IN Program, fostered the Jewish Arts & Soul Project, brought Sababa to the community, and feats too numerous to mention. I believe we offer something for everyone, and invite you to get involved at the J. The St. Louis Jewish Community Center enriches lives, builds community, promotes inclusivity and creates meaningful Jewish experiences. I hope you will look through this guide and find ways to become a part of our community. Wherever you’re from, whatever your faith, we appreciate diversity while remaining true to our Jewish roots. We have facilities like no other J in the United States. While we want you to take advantage of these accommodations, it’s you, our members, who make the J such an outstanding destination. I hope you find something here that provides you with meaning and connection. Ten years is a long time…but we’re just getting started! See you at the outdoor pools this summer (opening May 25)!

SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS Something for Everyone! FITNESS & RECREATION

Train, play, splash, sweat, relax and repeat! We offer so many ways to find your wellness groove, we dare you not to find your center at the J. Our goal is to get you energized and moving, testing your limits, joining a team, all while delighting in your accomplishments and relishing the opportunities. We believe you will form the foundation of an active lifestyle filled with meaningful relationships. Page 25

ARTS & CREATIVITY

This summer, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll engage the greater St. Louis Jewish community in an exploration of Jewish identity and culture through film, music, visual arts, literature and more through thought-provoking discussions and moving performances that engage the mind, heart and spirit. Find an activity or event that speaks to you and give it a try. Page 39

SWIM & SPLASH

All five J pools will be full of fun after Memorial Day, as families, campers, swim teams and others dive, jump, learn, or just relax in and around them. The mitzvah of teaching a child to swim can build confidence, healthy habits, independence and other skills that offer benefits for a lifetime. In addition, pools become a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playground, from the slides and inflatables to the climbing walls and diving boards. Page 9
