the courtyard in the JCA are not appropriate spaces.
The JCA cannot be held responsible for members age 10 and over attending the JCA and not enrolled in an
organized activity. In addition, children age 10 and up are expected to behave in a mature manner when in the
building without parental supervision. Behavior that is disruptive and/or harmful to themselves or others may
result in the suspension of independent privileges.

JCA Member Code of Conduct The JCA is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all members and guests. To promote safety and comfort
for all, we ask individuals to act appropriately at all times when they are in our facility or participating in our programs. We expect persons using the JCA to behave in
a considerate and responsible way and to respect the rights and dignity of other members, guests and staff. Our Code of Conduct outlines actions that are deemed
inappropriate. These include but are not limited to: inappropriate attire - appropriate attire in keeping with the values of the JCA must be worn at all times; angry or vulgar
language, including swearing, name-calling or shouting; physical contact with another person in any angry or threatening way; any demonstration of sexual activity or sexual
contact with another person; harassment or intimidation by words, gestures, body language or any menacing behavior; theft or behavior that results in the destruction of
property; carrying or concealing any weapons or devices or objects that may be used as weapons with the exception of law enforcement professionals; using or possessing
illegal chemicals (drugs) on JCA property, in JCA vehicles or at JCA sponsored programs; using or possessing alcohol on JCA property, in JCA vehicles or at unsanctioned JCA
sponsored programs; any other conduct of an inappropriate, threatening or offensive nature. Loitering is not permitted in or outside the JCA. Use of all tobacco products,
smoking (including e-cigarettes) is not permitted in or outside the JCA. The JCA and its property is a smoke-free/tobacco-free environment. The JCA is dedicated to the
enhancement of Jewish identity and the continuity of Jewish life. A person or persons’ act of proselytizing or teaching of non-Jewish principles in an attempt to convert
members or guests is prohibited, and persons engaging in proselytizing will be required to leave the building and grounds. In addition, the JCA reserves the right to deny
access or membership to the following persons: registered sex offenders; those accused/convicted of sexual abuse crimes; those accused/convicted of crimes relating to
the sale/use/possession/transportation of narcotics, habit forming, and/or dangerous drugs; those excessively or continuously using intoxicating beverages, narcotics, or
dangerous drugs. The JCA maintains a no tolerance policy concerning all of the above. Members and guests are encouraged to be responsible for their personal comfort
and safety and to ask any person whose behavior threatens their comfort to refrain from that behavior. If a member or guest feels uncomfortable in confronting the
person directly, they should report the behavior to a staff person or the Manager on Duty. Good personal hygiene, including the appropriate use of deodorant, is expected
as a consideration to other members. JCA staff members are eager to be of assistance. Members and guests should not hesitate to notify a staff member if assistance is
needed. In order to be able to carry out these policies, we ask that members and guests identify themselves to staff when asked. The Executive Team will investigate all
reported incidents. Suspension or termination of JCA membership privileges may result from a determination by the Executive Team if in their discretion a violation of
the JCA Member Code of Conduct has occurred.

Dear Friends,
Board of Directors
What a night at the JCA! Our annual fundraiser, chaired
by Pat and Ben Frisch and Mary and Jeff Edwards, was
amazing; our deepest appreciation to them, as well as
to the many volunteers and staff who made this event
a success. All who attended will agree that it was a fun
Myron Flagler
and enchanting evening. The wonderful raffle prizes
730 - 2100 ext. 246
to the Bahamas and bestbet Jacksonville were the
cherry on the sundae! The scholarship recipients who benefit from this hard
work are most grateful, as it means the opportunity to have a meaningful and
affordable JCA experience.
It is hard to believe that JCA Summer Camp and fall Early Childhood programs
are around the corner. The directors of our ACA accredited camp have been
hard at work planning the best summer ever for your children. Since last
September, they have been meeting in preparation of a summer filled with fun
and excitement. In addition, our nationally recognized, award winning Michele
Block Gan Yeladim Preschool and Kindergarten has opened registration for new
and returning students. Few other programs have the national accreditation,
stellar reputation and innovative programming as ours. Don’t be left behind;
register today!
Finally, Passover will be upon us soon. This is the time of year when we celebrate
our freedom from slavery and passage from darkness to light. The Passover
message is a strong one: “We were once slaves in Egypt!” So as we witness
inhumanity and injustice in the world, let us not be silent or indifferent.
May the Passover holiday bring happiness, peace and good health to you and
your loved ones.
Shalom,

Proselytization The JCA is dedicated to the enhancement of Jewish identity and the continuity of Jewish life.
A person or persons’ act of proselytizing or teaching of non-Jewish principles in an attempt to convert members
or guests is prohibited, and persons engaging in proselytizing will be required to leave the building and grounds.
Mandatory Swim Assessments All children 12 and under will be required to complete a swimming
skills assessment. Children must complete a 25-yard swim (without touching the bottom of the pool, grabbing the
lane rope, floating on their back or requiring assistance) on their front (freestyle, breaststroke, etc.) and tread water
for 45 seconds. If they pass the test, they are permitted to swim without flotation and receive a yellow neck band.
Swimmers who do not complete the test will receive a red neck band and be required to wear a lifejacket, have
a parent/guardian in the water within arm’s reach or choose not to swim. The JCA will supply neckbands to each
child, which are to be kept and brought to the pool each time to swim. Replacement bands are available for $5 each.

jca summer camp
Send a Kid to Camp
Give a child a great summer by sending a kid to summer camp at the Jewish Community Alliance. Your donation
of $1,520 provides a child the opportunity to attend camp for the entire JCA summer season. A contribution of
$
760 allows a camper an exciting month of camp attendance and $380 sends a kid to a two week camp session.
Support of our program will directly benefit camp scholarships that give children in our community the chance
at an experience otherwise inaccessible due to financial constraints.
In the JCA’s ACA accredited Summer Camp programs, certified professional instructors provide campers with a
safe, secure and nurturing camp experience through a wide range of developmentally appropriate programming.
Activities such as swimming, crafting and sports, build confidence and promote independence during the
formative years of a child’s life.
Your meaningful contribution gives a child the chance to spend this summer developing new skills and making
friendships to last a lifetime. Make a difference in the life of a child and send a kid to summer camp at the JCA.

are best friends despite their class difference and the fact that they both love
the same girl. Then World War II upends everything, turning Rudi into a Nazi and
Victor into a helpless pawn. Combining the dangers of World War II with twists
and turns, My Best Enemy is an entertaining tale of turmoil and triumph.

From acclaimed director Agnieszka Holland, In Darkness is based on the true
story of Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Lvov, a Nazi occupied
city in Poland, who encounters a group of Jews trying to escape the liquidation
of the ghetto. The film is an extraordinary story of survival as the men, women
and children try to outwit certain death during 14 months of ever increasing
and intense danger. This film was nominated for an Academy Award for best
foreign language film of 2011.
