Jewish Community Center of Middlesex County 1775 Oak Tree Road Edison, New Jersey 08820 732-494-3232 www.jccmc.org In filming this semi-autobiographical account of life in Italy during the dawn of World War II, director Franco Zeffirelli imbues Tea with Mussolini with the mixed blessings of fond reminiscence. It's a warmly inviting film, as impeccable as any Merchant-Ivory production, but like a hazy memory it's uncertain in its narrative intentions. And yet with an exceptional cast to compensate, the film's as engaging as it is inconsequential. Zeffirelli's alter ego is Luca (Charlie Lucas in youth; Baird Wallace as a teenager), who is raised in Florence by Mary (Joan Plowright), the middle-aged secretary of his absentee father. Luca lives among a loose band of British and American women, nicknamed "Il Scorpioni" for their stinging wit in the shadows of Mussolini's thuggish dictatorship. Along with Mary there's Hester (Maggie Smith), a crusty ambassador's widow; Arabella (Judi Dench), a lively bohemian; lesbian archaeologist Georgie (Lily Tomlin); and Elsa (Cher), a flamboyant American who quietly finances Luca's education. Il Scorpioni witness the rise of fascism and the dangers of resistance, weathering dictatorial custody and (in Elsa's case) falling prey to heartbreaking betrayal. But Tea with Mussolini carries little dramatic weight; you have to forgive its unfocused structure to appreciate its merits. Zeffirelli gently conveys the passage from pleasantry to wartime, and he's drawn uniformly fine performances from this seasoned cast.

Hear what others have said after taking lessons with Helaine. “ I was lucky enough to be one of Helaine’s canasta students and I can honestly say that I am hooked! She is an excellent instructor, very patient and thorough as she walked me through everything from the basics to strategy, time and time again. I look so forward to my weekly game with my friends, and as a recent empty nester, this has been especially important to me. It keeps my mind sharp and my friendships going!” - Alison Helaine is certified by the Canasta League of America™, the foremost leader in modern Canasta instruction in the United States. This training ensures that students learn the game properly, right from the start, including both the rules and strategy. She has taught Modern Canasta to small groups across Northern Jersey. “Helaine is a fabulous teacher of Canasta.

The Monroe township based group consists of nine musicians and singers who have performed in other shows, choral groups and as soloists. Their current production, which is in Yiddish, Hebrew and English, has received rave reviews, as it covers The Jewish Journey From There to Here--the story of the emigration from Europe to the United States and Israel.

FREE/JCC MEMBERS; NON-MEMBERS/$5.00 PER SESSION FACILITATOR: LINCOLN RICHMAN The JCC Men’s Group is devoted to semi-retired and retired men who are looking for a meaningful social activity for relaxation, learning and friendly interaction with men of a similar age. September 7, 2016: Labor Day First, we will catch up with each other after our summer hiatus and welcome any new members who will be joining the Men’s Group. Then we will discuss the real significance of Labor Day. Now often seen as the unofficial end to the summer vacation season, Labor Day was originally a celebration of America’s labor movement. During the 1950s approximately 33% of American workers belonged to a labor union. Today that number is approximately 7%. Did you ever belong to a union? Did it benefit your life and career or hinder it? Has the decline in union membership been good for America, or bad? September 14, 2016: Our Best Teachers / The People We’ve Met Along the Way We all have had many teachers in our lives, but if we were lucky there were one or two teachers who helped change the direction of our lives. Perhaps they saw a special talent in us, or inspired us in some other way. Today, we will tell the stories of our favorite teachers and/or mentors – and other people we have met along the way who set us on a new life path. September 21, 2016: Entitlements The Bernie Sanders presidential campaign earlier this year brought socialism back into the national discussion. Sanders’ campaign is over, but he has opened a dialogue about what should be America’s social policies regarding higher education and healthcare. Should a college education be an entitlement? Should healthcare be universal and entirely taxpayer supported? Should all workers have pensions? Should child care be free? We will discuss these questions. September 28, 2016: Bar Mitzvah / Confirmation Memories Did you have a Bar Mitzvah and/or Confirmation? Do you have any special memories of this time? How did you prepare for those events? Did your family have a celebration? Who attended? Where was it? Today, we will look back at our coming of age events.

October 5, 2016: Columbus Day In school, we were taught that Christopher Columbus was a daring explorer who discovered America. In recent years, however, revisionist historians have painted Columbus as a genocidal maniac who murdered indigenous peoples all through the New World. What do we think of revisionist history? Is it better for America’s school children to hear the sanitized stories we learned as children, or should students today learn the revisionist version of Columbus’s story? October 12, 2016: NO MEN’S CLUB. JCC CLOSED FOR YOM KIPPUR October 19, 2016: Taxes As the old saying goes, there are only two things on which you count in life: death and taxes. Today we will talk about taxes. If you could change America’s tax policies, what would that look like? October 26, 2016: Prostitution Known as the oldest profession, prostitution has existed since the dawn of humankind. Illegal in most places, prostitution is now being re-examined by public policy experts. Amnesty International, the human rights organization, has recently called for the decriminalization of sex work globally. What are your thoughts? Should prostitution be legal? If so, what should be the parameters? QUESTIONS?

Looking for 11 seniors to share “their life stories” Rave reviews from this year’s participants— students and seniors alike!!! Join together at the JCC and share an hour with eighth grade girls from a local day school approximately one Thursday a month for 8 months. Tentatively beginning in October This program will afford the students an invaluable experience of learning from an older generation: their experiences, life lessons, and courage. The seniors will in turn engage with a younger generation interested in hearing their stories and eager to record a life story. BETTER TOGETHER embodies core Jewish Values of generational continuity, reverence of older people, and the obligation to learn from history. The BETTER TOGETHER program is funded by the Heritage Legacy Foundation aimed at forming inter-generational connections. It will empower eighth graders of Yeshiva Shaarei Tzion to connect with an older generation in Middlesex County and learn valuable lessons and narratives from them through a series of monthly visits. Students will be well prepared for their visits with tailored curricula of history, memoir writing and they will be given the opportunity to reflect and record what they have learned. At the end of the year they will compile their writings and present a video at a year-end banquet.

Lucky enough to have seen the play and were inspired to learn more? Then you’ll want to join us for this fascinating trip walking in Alexander Hamilton’s foot steps. Not even Pennsylvania Avenue invokes a greater image of power in the imagination than the concrete canyons of Wall Street. The financial epicenter of American commerce and business, its very name seems too large to be contained on the short narrow street itself and instead has become a symbol of global finance. Alexander Hamilton envisioned modern America and the seat of the nation's financial power more accurately than any other Founding Father. Creating the Bank of New York in 1784 and the First National Bank in 1790, he eventually restored national credit to a bankrupt country, and by doing so birthed America’s most critical financial systems. Hamilton's vision has defined Wall Street more than any other person in history to date. This tour explores the city of New York in Hamilton's life, and the deep impression he left behind. As we uncover the secrets behind his inexhaustible drive and his unimaginable achievements, it explains his relentless effort to leave his bold impression on his adopted nation. This tour will start at the Battery to recall the battles of the American Revolution and the toll New York paid for Independence during the war, and will describe how Hamilton rose from Captain of an artillery company to the right hand of Washington himself.. We will discuss the creation of the Federal Government of the United States as well as the 1st and 2nd Sessions of Congress and numerous other events that took place at Federal Hall. We will also visit Trinity Church to pay tribute and respect to the Hamilton's at their final resting place. Jimmy Napoli has been a licensed N.Y.C. tour guide since 1996, specializing in the American Revolution, the creation of the Federal Government of the United States of America, the abolition movement and women's suffrage. His main area of interest and expertise is Alexander Hamilton. In 2007, Jimmy appeared in the PBS documentary "The American Experience: Alexander Hamilton," written and directed by Middlemarch Films. Jimmy was published in 2012 in a re-edition of the classic biography "George Washington: the Indispensable Man" by James Thomas Flexner, writing the additional essays and providing historical consultation on this Sterling Publishing signature edition. He is also a frequent lecturer at Morris-Jumel Mansion, George Washington's 1776 headquarters in Harlem, where he speaks about the lives and legacies of America's Founding Father's. "I love sharing my passion for the history of New York and the ideals of our founding fathers with visitors and locals alike," says Jimmy. "Those ideals are still very much alive today, and will forever be engraved on our city streets." "Napoli is a force of nature, with the energy of an entire cast of actors" NY Times DATE: TIME: COST: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 Transportation leaves the JCC at 8:45 AM; Returns approx.4:00 PM $68/ JCCMC Member; $79/ Non-member (includes transportation, guided tour, and snack).

Pickleball was created with one thing in mind: fun. It was designed to be easy to learn and play whether you’re five, eighty-five or somewhere in between. Pickleball is traditionally played on a badminton-sized court with special Pickleball paddles, made of wood or high-tech aerospace materials. The ball used is similar to a wiffle ball, but slightly smaller. The lower net and wiffle ball allow the game to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities, while still allowing more competitive players to test their mettle.
