They’ll be drawing with special crayons that glide on the page, mixing colors and exploring brushstrokes with vivid liquid watercolors,
using stamps big enough for feet and hands, ripping and cutting
handmade paper, creating patterns with fabric that's soft and bright
in color, practicing with scissors that are easier to hold...and the list
goes on and on. Every material and project is carefully selected to
complement the unique characteristics that define early childhood.
Additionally, every class includes an element of visual literacy (reading pictures) where we’ll look at artwork and talk about what we see.

hkuphy id
enriching environment that helps develop socialization and interpersonal communication skills, as well a cognitive skills and behavioral
control.
Central to our curriculum is a rigorous, social skills program. We
devote a significant part of our curriculum to helping the children
develop their play skills and their capability to socialize with other
children. The Nursery encourages and facilitates mainstream experiences for children in the program. Since the Nursery provides a halfday program, many of our children are able to attend regular nursery
schools during the other half of the day. A high percentage of our children attend regular public or private schools after graduating.
Individual speech/language therapy and occupational therapy, as well
as parent counseling and parent support groups, are offered during
class time. In addition to the Special Education teachers,
Speech/Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists are part
of the classroom teaching team, creating a fully-integrated multi-disciplinary treatment approach.
The Therapeutic Nursery is a nationally recognized, non-sectarian
preschool program and operates a ten-month program with a sixweek summer session for 3 to 5-year-old children. Classes throughout the year meet daily for 21/2 (morning or afternoon).

A PLACE FOR PARENTS AND
CHILDREN TOGETHER
This unique program for preschool children with special needs is a
developmental multidisciplinary treatment center that addresses the
cognitive, linguistic, behavioral, social and emotional needs of the
children. It also meets the needs of parents, who attend classes on a
daily basis and play a central role in their child’s treatment. The
Nursery model was developed at the Albert Einstein College of
Medicine in 1978 by Drs. Doris Allen and Lois Mendelson.
The Nursery serves preschool children with developmental problems,
including communication disorders, learning disabilities, attention
deficits, high functioning autism, as well as skectuve mutism and
other emotional difficulties. Children accepted into the program have
at least average intelligence, and many are extremely bright, despite
their developmental delays or difficult behaviors. We provide a warm,
Referrals to the Therapeutic Nursery come from physicians, psychologists, speech-language pathologists, nursery schools, early intervention programs and child study teams. Parents may contact us
directly. Many local NJ school districts pay tuition to send their
students to our program. Parents can also pay tuition privately.
Scholarship funding comes from the generous support of private
philanthropy.

DRAWING
The Art school
Drawing is a learned subject, just like any other. This workshop
teaches students how to “see” in a whole new way and offers a basic
understanding of how to draw. Working from photographs, each
assignment builds on the one before it and focuses on a different fundamental concept of art. Along with basic concepts, a strong emphasis is placed on individuality, creativity, technique, color and style.
Once knowledge of basic drawing skills has been established, students will transition from drawing from photographs to drawing still
lifes placed in front of them. All students will receive individualized
attention and a personalized curriculum, allowing them to thrive and
progress at their own pace. Material fee $30.

MOTHER & DAUGHTER BOOK CLUB
WHAT IF SOMEONE GAVE YOU $5,000 TO HELP FIX THE WORLD?
FOR TEEN GIRLS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL & THEIR MOTHERS
One of the greatest gifts we can ever bestow on our youth is teaching
them the importance of giving. This impressive program will foster a
new generation of committed, influential leaders who embrace the
Jewish values of Chesed, Tzedakah, and Tikkun Olam. Participants will
gain valuable leadership skills, form bonds with socially conscious
Jewish peers, and learn how to make a difference.
To encourage open and honest dialogues on difficult topics, we
are launching a mother & daughter book club featuring books
that address pressing teen issues such as sex, drugs, eating disorders, depression, suicide, homosexuality, cutting and more. The
goal is to create an “open forum” to discuss these issues openly
and objectively in the hope that it will spark more personal discussions at home and allow for stronger mother-daughter bonds.
We invite interested teens to apply. Class will be limited to 20 post
Bar/Bat Mitzvah teens, who will serve on a grant-making board, learn
how to become a strategic philanthropist, and contribute to a pooled
fund that will support a selected charity.
EACH PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTES $250.
THE GROUP THEN WORKS TOGETHER TO GIVE $5,000
TO THE ORGINIZATION(S) OF THEIR CHOICE.
Judi Nahary, 201.408.1470 or e-mail [email protected].
The program will also educate teens and their mothers about pertinent psychological and social factors surrounding these difficult
topics so they are more knowledgeable and prepared to address
and understand them. Resources for further study and discussion
will be provided.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND:
• Technique classes in improv, acting and singing for students
who love to perform and want to reach the next performing level.
• Ballet for all serious dancers. Ballet is the basis for all forms of
dance. Without ballet, a performer’s skills do not reach their
potential.
• Einstein’s advice: “Talent is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration”
– ie: determination and discipline! Come, enjoy and develop your
talent for success.
• If you have a promising young child, join the JCC: Classes and
workshops for ages 3-9 are open only to JCC members.
Call Deb Roberts at 201.408.1492 with any questions or concerns.
Special Performing Arts programs have been made possible in part by an
annual gift from the Jamie Fitterman Charitable Foundation.

The JCC School of Performing Arts offers professional, pre-professional and recreational classes, workshops and performance opportunities for preschoolers to adults. There are specialty classes in empowerment for young students, lighting and sound, private voice, coaching for auditions in acting and dance and advanced acting with
Strasberg affiliation.
The professional track prepares students for Broadway, film and television, and helps them connect with agents/managers.
Recreational drama classes and workshops develop confidence, selfimage, talent and the ability to express oneself in a group. Drama
builds reading skills, social skills and imagination for the individual,
and promotes sustained focus, teamwork, and problem solving for
the group. Above all, acting creates the deep mind/body connection
that gives a person charismatic self-expression.
Our classes and workshops are coded according to the developmental skill set emphasized:
C ONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM
L ANGUAGE AND SPEAKING SKILLS
I MAGINATION AND CREATIVITY
G ROUP FOCUS, WORKING FOR A COMMON GOAL
S ELF EXPRESSION, INTEGRATING MIND AND BODY
EARLY TRAINING:
A WORLD OF IMAGINATION
Classes are designed to run for the full school year. The first semesters focus on skills, imagination, skits, songs and stories. Second
semester builds confidence and develops talents for a special end-ofyear show.
END-OF-SESSION OPEN CLASS PERFORMANCE DATES
Monday classes: 5/14

LEADERSHIP by KIDS EMPOWERMENT ACADEMY
Ester DuVon
Kids experience leadership firsthand while acting as entrepreneurs,
inventors, teachers, TV show hosts and more! This popular New York
City program is a gradual acceleration of public speaking and leadership skills. It is designed in three 6-week levels, Leadership 1, 2 and
3. In Level 1, kids establish public speaking skills and over-come any
fears they have of speaking in front of others. Level 2 provides kids
with opportunities to demonstrate their ideas as leaders; and level 3
is where the kids learn to persuade their audiences. This series focuses on how to act, speak and feel like a leader - and that is a gift that
will last a lifetime.
"This program is just what my son needed. His confidence soared"
- Brian O'Neil. See Kids Empowerment Academy website for details:

an idea. Senators are chosen for each side and the debate begins! At
the end of each class a vote is taken and a law is made!
This popular New York City program is designed in three 6-week levels, Power Debate 1, 2 and 3. See Kids Empowerment academy website for details: www.kidpoweracademy.com

In an environment of personal success, friendship, and fun, the Music
School promotes the understanding, performance, and enjoyment of
music, enriching the lives of people of all ages in northern New Jersey and

Widely recognized for its high-quality instruction, the JCC Thurnauer
School of Music, New Jersey’s leading community music school, has
been designated a Major Arts Institution by the New Jersey State
Council on the Arts. Serving nearly 450 students from infancy
through adulthood, it offers a comprehensive program similar to the
finest pre-college conservatories. The rich Thurnauer experience
includes instrumental lessons, ensembles, and classes as well as a gift
of music workshop and concert, master classes with renowned artists,
a chamber music series, faculty recitals, and frequent student performances. Every accomplishment, at every level of study, is appreciated and applauded.
Thurnauer accepts all who wish to attend; there are no auditions. Yet
its students have performed at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The
Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, on
Sesame Street, in the feature film Music of the Heart, and with such
renowned artists as Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Bell, Pinchas Zukerman,
Itzhak Perlman, and Israeli pop star David Broza. Alumni have gone
on to study at Juilliard, Manhattan School of Music, Mannes, the
Berklee College of Music in Boston, the Cleveland Institute of Music,
and the Royal Northern College of Music in England. Students with
professional aspirations receive the foundation necessary to attain the
highest level of performance. All students find a nurturing atmosphere to bring them a lifetime of joy in music.

ELEMENTS OF MUSIC
Elements of Music is a sequential course of study that enables students to read and understand the music they perform and hear. The
class explores fundamental elements of music and how they are
organized in music literature. Beginning with notes and rhythms, students progress to advanced topics such as harmonic and formal
analysis. They learn to hear the sound of written music before it is
played (sight-singing), to translate heard sound into notation (dictation), and to connect those experiences to the instruments they are
studying.

their works performed. Students may opt to become part of an online
learning community where they interact with professional composers
who serve as musical mentors. Participants must bring a laptop computer (PC or Mac) to class and purchase the Sibelius program (The
student version is acceptable.). No previous composition experience
is required; however, students must be able to use their computers

Dalcroze for Active Seniors is a class for both musicians and nonmusicians. It includes ear-training and improvisation, in which the
body is the primary instrument. Developed by Émile-Jaques Dalcroze
(1865-1950), a Swiss composer and music educator, Dalcroze
Eurhythmics is a process where students engage their innate musicality. In a eurhythmics (good rhythm) class, students respond to the
rhythm of live music, expressing what they hear through movement.
Taught in a stimulating social and musical setting, the class leads to a
deeper understanding of all types of music. While it is neither a dance
nor a music appreciation class, Dalcroze connects music, movement,
mind, and body. In addition to musical benefits, studies have shown
participating in a Dalcroze Eurhythmics class improves walking
speed, stride length, and balance.

Learn about Jewish actors, dramatists, performers and entertainers

with Nickelodeon to today's wide-screen. From 1900 till today; from
5-cent views in saloons and storefront theaters to multiplexes, the
movies are still the most popular form of amusement...and the
influence and image of the Jew rests in good part on its celluloid
celebrity.

POINTS OF VIEW
BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS
BY ELY DENNIS
The photographs in this body of
work were taken in New York City,
Rockland County, Asbury Park
New Jersey, Southern California
and Canada. Locations where many
of the viewers of this exhibit have been and will recognize. Street photography is, literally , going out into these various locations walking
thru the streets and making photographs of the people, the buildings
and the landscapes that make a statement about that particular area
or person.
Most of this collection is in black and white, using a metallic paper. It
gives me, as the photographer, more of a chance to express what I
really see in the subject. I feel that the black and white finish gives a
certain amount of texture and also a certain amount of mystery. It also
lets the viewer look more deeply into the subject of that image.
Some of the pieces in this exhibit, however, are finished in color,
because the subject of the photograph really called for it. The beautiful colors in these select images appeal to the eye without taking away
from the overall feel.

people who perished and so
they are a reality of life not
death. Even after six decades, their lives were so impacted by one of
the most debasing horrors of the twentieth century. My subjects have
a message that has not lost it's impact, and their message to the world
is important because of the vast destruction that can once again occur

HOW PEER PRESSURE CAN TRANSFORM THE WORLD
with author Tina Rosenberg
In Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg shows us how we
can transform the troubled world around us by
harnessing the positive power of peer pressure.
Used as a “social cure,” this powerful strategy has
successfully overthrown dictators, persuaded
teenagers in South Africa to demand safe sex,
helped Black and Latino students excel in college math classes, and
spurred millions to quit drinking and drugs. Relating stories of peer
power in action, Rosenberg demonstrates that peer pressure can serve
as a powerful form of social change, one based on influencing behavior by helping people obtain what they care about most – the respect
of their peers.
Tina Rosenberg, the winner of a MacArthur grant, is a contributing
writer for the New York Times Magazine and a former member of the
Times editorial board. Her book, The Haunted Land, won the Pulitzer
Prize and the National Book Award.

WHAT ONE FATHER LEARNED ABOUT GUMBY,
OTTERS, AUTISM AND LOVE FOR HIS
EXTRAORDINARY SON
With Author Tom Fields-Meyer
When Tom Fields-Meyer’s son Ezra was three and
showing early signs of autism, a therapist suggested that the father needed to grieve. “For
what?” he asked. The answer: “For the child he
didn’t turn out to be.” That moment prompted the author to do just
the opposite – to pour love on the child Ezra was becoming, a boy
with a fascinating and complex mind. Following Ezra is the story of a
father and son on a ten-year journey that celebrates Ezra’s evolution
from a remote toddler to an extraordinary young man.
Tom Fields-Meyer is an author and journalist. A former senior writer for
People, he has written for dozens of publications, including the New Your
Times, Wall Street Journal and The Forward. He is a graduate of Harvard
and lives in Los Angeles with his wife, a rabbi, and their three sons.

CONTEXT AT THE JCC!
HOW HAS THIS NIGHT BEEN DIFFERENT
FROM ALL OTHERS?
This 5-session course will explore
the development of the Passover ritual from Biblical times to the present. Each of the first four sessions
will be taught by a different Context scholar-teacher. This joint program of the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades and the Context program
will culminate in a session conducted by Rabbi Reuven Kimelman,
the JCC’s Scholar in Residence.
This mini-course will introduce students to the Context approach to
learning: serious study of the sources that are central to Judaism and
Jewish history guided by university-level instructors. The course surveys the development of this core Jewish ritual over the past several
thousand years. As in all Context classes, some pre-class reading is
required. Through the close examination of how the Passover ritual
has changed over time, the program highlights the richness of Jewish
history that can be unearthed through the Context approach.

U.N. HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY
A NJ SCREENING PREMIERE!
CARRYING THE LIGHT
This beautiful film traces the travels of a rabbi from his home
in England to retrieve the light from the ‘eternal flame’ of his
grandfather's synagogue in Germany. Traveling by foot with his dog,
he sets out on a pilgrimage; to carry the flame - that miraculously was
not extinguished during Kristallnacht - to his newly built London
synagogue. Carrying the Light explores matters of faith, politics, and
memory, which illuminate the journey through picturesque
Rhineland like fragments of light gathered to constitute a flame. Join
us to commemorate the 7th annual, UN-sponsored, International
Holocaust Remembrance Day. 201.408.1458 for information.

ZORNBERG
with Rabbi Adina Lewittes
One of the most unique features of Judaism is its invitation to engage
in life-long dialogue with our sacred texts and traditions. Adding her
voice to generations of master teachers and scholars of Torah, Aviva
Gottlieb Zornberg plumbs the layers of biblical narratives for their
insights into human nature and consciousness. Combining literary
analysis with psychoanalytic thought as well as rabbinic and Hassidic
teachings, Zornberg uncovers the richness of the Bible and the
interplay between self, family, community and God. Join us for nine
sessions on selected stories from the book of Genesis.

ANTI-SEMITISM IN VENEZUELA UNDER
THE CHAVEZ REGIME
Under the leadership of firebrand President Hugo Chavez, Venezuela
has experienced a disturbing rise in anti-Semitism, fostered in large
part by Chavez's own anti-Zionist rhetoric and that of his government
institutions. Liat Altman from the Anti-Defamation League will present on the troubling mix of anti-Semitism and support for radical
Islam that -- along with anti-imperialism and anti-Americanism -have become the calling cards of the Chavez regime. Liat Altman
serves as a Latino/Hispanic Relations Coordinator of the AntiDefamation League (ADL), where she builds bridges with Hispanic
Americans in the US and supports Jewish communities in Latin
America on matters of anti-Semitism and Israel advocacy.

NEW! MONTESSORI ACTIVITY-BASED
APPROACH
A NEW INNOVATIVE MODEL OF SERVICE
BENEFITTING PEOPLE WITH ALZHEIMER’S
The approach is based on the Montessori teaching techniques,
originally developed for children, which tailors activities to each
person’s individual strengths, interests and abilities. It has been
recently discovered that this same approach can be successfully used
when working with people with Alzheimer’s disease, leading to
increased participation, leadership and meaningful social interaction.
Our staff has been trained in these techniques and we are now
witnessing positive results. Participants who have been shy and
withdrawn are beginning to lead bingo games, share their personal
talents and attend art shows and lectures offered through other
departments at the JCC.
AROUND THE WORLD WITH
SARA LEWIS
Using a complete Montessori approach to her program, Sara integrates educational & interactive components to this well received
program using the sights, sounds and tastes of different countries
around the globe. The countries being explored were chosen by the
participants and all ARC members take an active part.

Functional training is a cardio/resistance class that utilizes medicine

using a form of resistance. This class is designed for all.

strengthen the body from the inside out.

WINTER/SPRING 2012
TAI CHI
VINYASA YOGA
Tai Chi Chuan is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
Developed centuries ago in ancient China as a martial art, Tai Chi is
very much a modern exercise promoting the health of mind and body.
These slow, low-impact movements improve balance, increase lower
body strength and are known to reduce stress, calm the mind and the
emotions, and help you get centered.
This fun, engaging class set to upbeat music uses the flowing vinyasa
movement of ashtanga yoga, as well as a variety of postures (instead
of a set series of postures like Ashtanga yoga) to cultivate balance,
flexibility, strength and endurance.
TONE & SCULPT
Tone muscles you never knew you had with your own body weight,
light hand weights or very simple equipment.
YOGA
Wake up Sunday morning with Margaret Lesser’s Yoga as she creates
awareness and relaxation. Yoga helps improve circulation and balance
the immune system, while unifying the body, mind and soul. It can
be practiced by people of all fitness levels. Both beginner and
advanced students are welcome.
TOTAL BODY CONDITIONING
This cardiovascular conditioning and body sculpting class will help
you tone your muscles and improve your strength while burning fat.
TOTAL BODY WORKOUT
An effective total body conditioning training class using dumbbells,
tubing, body bars, medicine balls, bosu and gliders. This complete
workout strengthens and tones muscles, often raising heart rate for
additional cardiovascular benefits.
ZUMBA/ZUMBA & TONING
The Zumba Fitness® programs fuse hypnotic Latin rhythms and
easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program.
Zumba® routines feature interval training sessions where fast and
slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt
your body while burning fat. Zumba Toning™ blends body-sculpting techniques and specific Zumba moves into one calorie-burning,
strength-training class. Students use weighted, maraca-like Zumba
Toning Sticks to enhance rhythm and build strength.
YOGA/BARRE BOOTCAMP
This is an interval cardio workout incorporating sets of isometric
exercises both on the floor and barre targeting the whole body. Work
on ballet barre is challenging and dynamic and will help to elongate,
tone and sculpt. The core is used throughtout the workout and will
result in a stronger core and better posture. You will build stamina
with each class and feel long and lean when you leave.
YOGA & TONING
Enjoy classical Yoga poses performed with resistance bands and core
exercises. Reduce stress and tone at the same time.
FEE-BASED CLASSES
ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION AQUATIC PROGRAM

ENDOWMENT FUNDS
Over the years, endowment funds have enabled the JCC to enhance
our programs and services and respond to challenges within our
community. We thank you for making a commitment to our agency
and our future.
TYPES OF ENDOWMENTS
The wonderful thing about endowment funds is that they allow you
to give in personal and creative ways. They can be named to:
• Honor the memory of a loved one
• Recognize a family member or friend on a special occasion
• Meet the goals of a family foundation
Featured on the next page is the complete list of endowment funds
already established at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades.
BENEFITS
Endowments provide lasting rewards:
• They can be earmarked for an existing JCC service or program,
allowing you to support a cause or interest that is important
to you.
• They can be named for a loved one, allowing you to honor or
remember someone meaningful in your life.
• They are gifts that “keep on giving.” Only a small amount of your
fund’s value is expended each year, so the fund lives on — helping
people in need and perpetuating the memory of the person you
are honoring.
• The can be tailored in many ways to meet your philanthropic
needs.
HOW TO ESTABLISH AN ENDOWMENT FUND AT THE JCC
For a charitable, tax-deductible donation of $10,000 or more, you
can establish a personal endowment fund at the JCC. We are
continually evolving to meet the needs of our community and we
pride ourselves on our ability to offer programs and services that
enrich our members’ lives. The additional revenue generated by
personal endowment funds makes it possible to offer new and
dynamic programs.
Please consider establishing a personal endowment and help us
address important needs in our community.
To set up an endowment or to learn more about giving
opportunities at the JCC, please contact Avi A. Lewinson,
Executive Director, Kaplen JCC on the Palisades, 411 East Clinton
Avenue, Tenafly, New Jersey 07670.
201.569.7900, ext. 1412 or email [email protected]
RESTRICTED GIFTS benefit specific programs chosen by you, the
donor. Funds may be designated for any JCC program or
service of particular interest to you.
TRIBUTE CARDS
Donations can be made to individual endowment funds in
honor of a special occasion such as a wedding or anniversary,
a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the birth of a child, or in memory of loved
ones. The JCC sends notification cards to recipients and publishes the tributes in our agency newspaper, In The Center.
The minimum donation for a tribute card is $18.
