Some of the new and exciting experiences that await you include a fun-filled pool party at Markus Park on August 31; a happy hour with live music at the JCC Coffee Shop on October 21; a “Super Noggin” workshop designed to help improve your memory on November 12; and a new Les Mills class called BODYSTEP®. Our 38th season of JCC CenterStage opens with “Bad Jews,” a dark comedy about family and faith. The season has something for everyone… its got dramatic muscle, comedic might and some wonderful melodies... A premier literary event in our community, the annual JCC Lane Dworkin Jewish Book Festival will offer expanded programs and events throughout the year and features an exciting lineup of the year’s most exceptional authors including, Rabbi Joseph Teluskin, Ari Shavit and Gail Sheehy. As the Jewish calendar year comes to a close, we are reminded that Rosh Hashanah begins a period of reflection and offers us a unique opportunity to give thanks. Thank you to the staff of the JCC for coming together, working hard, and providing great services. I thank the community for your continued support of the JCC, and also for your exuberant participation in our programs and continued work in building and strengthening our community.

From JtoZ JCC Training Helps Shape a Future Star

You’ve probably seen Zainab (Z) Bakrin around the JCC - working out, playing pickleball, or in a yoga class. The Nigerian-born, Brighton High School student-athlete has been coming to the JCC since she was a child. “It’s a great community here,” she said. "We have so many friends and connections at the J.” Recently, Z got some great news - the high school senior found out she’s been accepted to Dartmouth College, Class of 2018! When Z attended a soccer camp at Dartmouth last summer, she fell in love with the campus and community, and will be playing Division I soccer there in the fall. Z chose Dartmouth not only for its soccer program, but also to pursue degrees in Biology and Pre-Med. NCAA Division I athletics are serious stuff. Dartmouth sent Z a special training regimen, and she chose the JCC’s Eke Aiono as her trainer. She’s been working out with him since, diligently preparing for her first soccer season at Dartmouth. “Working with Z is easy, because she’s determined to be better than she was the day before,” said Eke. “And we also have the facility and quality staff to help our student-athletes prepare for their sport of choice.” Her training routine is challenging, but Z enjoys it and is seeing great results. “Eke makes sure that I follow the training, use correct form, and push myself,” she said. "And he motivates me.” Z’s growth from a novice soccer player to her leadership role as this year’s captain of the Brighton Barons girls’ soccer team was not always easy. She didn’t begin playing the sport until the 7th grade and was even cut from a few teams in the beginning. Her coaches say it’s Z’s leadership, passion, and emotional strength that have helped her to achieve her goals. Z hopes to inspire younger female athletes, many of whom she coaches during the summer. “It’s all about the work you put into it,” she said. “No one can stop you from getting where you need to be.” Z looks forward to attending college in the fall, but will miss her close-knit family and friends. She is often found playing pickup soccer games with her brother, or enjoying “family movie night” at home. Z enjoyed her final year of high school and made memories that will last a lifetime, like scoring the gamewinning penalty kick in Sectional Quarterfinals! We anticipate more exciting times to come for Z, as she begins her new adventure - she will always have a home here at the JCC!

“No one can stop you from getting where you need to be.” -Zainab Bakrin

We are pleased to announce that TYKEs has now officially merged with the JCC to become one of our key cultural arts and family programs.
