Peninsula Jewish Community Center Your Center for Life! Autumn 2011 Tishrei / Heshvan / Kislev 5772
CenterView Meet Marcus and Sandra Charles There’s a hint of an east coast accent when Pilates Reformer and TRX classes. In his Marcus and Sandra Charles share their spare time Marcus teaches tennis as the philosophy of life. “Health is more than wealth because all the money in the world can’t keep you healthy,” says Marcus. “Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” Sandra, his wife of 35 years agrees, adding, “A healthy lifestyle is a life-long job.” And it’s a job the New York natives embrace. Ever since relocating to the Bay Area in 2008 to be closer to family, Marcus and Sandra have enjoyed many diverse interests that epitomize active California living. That includes working out at the PJCC several times a week. A retired NYPD detective, Marcus loves to jump rope and swim while Sandra, a retired manager at a New Jersey fitness center, thrives with
Head Varsity Coach at Serra High School in San Mateo. He also draws upon his detective skills working at HighCom Security (which the PJCC employs) as a supervisor. “It’s a challenge fighting the urge to become sedentary,” he admits, “but being sedentary isn’t an option.” Sandra, an avid gardener, recently joined the Board of Directors at the San Mateo Arboretum Society and also manages rentals for the Kohl Pumphouse. They both believe that their good health and longevity are a result of an active life. “The PJCC is a perfect fit for us,” Sandra says. “The friendly staff and members are a delight every time.”
A Most Tasty Partnership: Urban Table By Michele Solomon, Event & Volunteer Manager
I
f you’ve spent Sunday mornings at the Center shopping for tasty produce or fresh flowers, you can thank the PJCC’s partner, Urban Table. Our union has resulted in providing our community with Foster City’s only Farmers’ Market. Urban Table is a non-profit agency that establishes certified Farmers’ Markets in the Bay Area and supports a sustainable food system. The city’s first market was introduced in 2010, at the PJCC’s Second Annual Family Health & Fitness Day, and was a huge success. In fact, within four hours of the event, over 500 signatures were collected encouraging Foster City to move forward with an ongoing market managed by Urban Table.
Thus began the process of making this seasonal market a reality. One of the PJCC guiding principles is “Wholeness of Body, Mind and Spirit,” which dovetails with Urban Table’s goal to provide local communities with easy access to fresh, local and organic produce. Not only does a Farmers’ Market provide healthy foods, but it also nurtures an inviting environment conducive to a thriving neighborhood while also supporting positive interactions between residents and local farmers. Discover the delectable goods you’ll find at our Farmers’ Market. It remains open Sundays, through November 6 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Hank Dagenais, Center member since 2008 “That would be Coach Burt from Terra Nova High School in Pacifica. He taught me to be the person I am today; to be fair with people, be a good basketball coach. He was a real father-figure.” Read about other favorite teachers inside!
Curator’s Corner
Beyond Birthright I share something in common with graphic novelist Sarah Glidden. Well, Sarah and 260,000 other Jews across 52 countries. We have all participated in a Taglit-Birthright Israel experience, offered by Taglit-Birthright Israel (www.birthrightisrael.com), a non-profit organization that provides free 10-day trips to Israel for Jewish young adults between the ages of 18-26. But what makes Ms. Glidden stand out is that she is the only alumna to have turned her Birthright Israel experience into a published graphic novel. This fall, the PJCC is proud to present almost 25 original watercolor excerpts from Sarah’s new autobiographical travel journal turned graphic novel, How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less (published by Vertigo August 30, 2011). Ms. Glidden is
By Kimberly Gordon, PJCC Cultural Arts Director also loaning the gallery her original sketch pad and diary, which will be on display to help demonstrate her creative process. The graphic novel provides an inventive and freeing format for illustrating the author’s non-verbal thoughts as she internally debates the complexities of the Israeli border, recounts dream sequences, and wisecracks about fellow travelers. While the story is all Sarah’s, the iconic scenery and unique situations (such as Dead Sea water in the eye) will be familiar to anyone who has visited the beautiful country of Israel. How to Understand Israel in 60 days or Less will be on display through December 28 in the award-winning PJCC Art Gallery. Sarah’s book, of the same name, will also be available for purchase at the Welcome Center.
Meet the artist on Wednesday, November 9: 2:00 pm Let’s Talk About It 7:00 pm Guided Gallery tour and “Drawing from Your Own Life”workshop. To register, call 650.378.2751 or visit www.pjcc.org.

Camp = Fun. Did you notice our camp’s new name? We thought Camp Keff (Hebrew for fun) was appropriate because when is PJCC summer camp not an absolute blast? And this summer was no exception, especially with exciting new teen camps like Glee, Soaked and Stoked, and Race the Bay. New specialties were also added, including Urban Beats and Urban Arts. This year, camp was particularly special for me because my niece, Abee, visiting from Vancouver, was a counselor-in-training (CIT). Thanks to her, I enjoyed an insider’s peak of a counselor’s daily routine, and confirmed
what I’ve always known: we have an incredibly talented, bright and caring staff. Speaking of youth, after just one season, our new licensed after school program, Treehouse at the J, is expanding to accommodate public demand! We’re very proud of its success and invite you to check it out, if you haven’t already. Treehouse at the J is full this year, but it’s never too soon to get on the list for next year. Finally, we just opened Club J, a new drop-in childcare program with special activities for kids ages 5 – 12. Moving forward, we hope to continue expanding our after school program with new and exciting offerings.
