LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Friends,
I am pleased to report that fiscal year 2015 was
a very good year for the Jewish Community
Center of Northern Virginia. Through effective
management and continued support from our
members, partners, generous donors, and The
Jewish Federation of Greater Washington,
we offered a broad array of programming
and maintained the building and grounds in a
fiscally sound manner.
We continue to develop and implement Vision
2020 — our strategic initiative that is a holistic
approach to Jewish community engagement
both inside and beyond the walls of the J.
Programs and activities helping to make our
vision a reality include:
• In October, we began exciting renovations to
our building which include a new lobby design
that reflects the needs of our members by
creating more functional space for informal
gatherings and a flexible area for programs.
Additional improvements to the Bodzin Art
Gallery, new first floor bathrooms, lighting,
floor coverings, and new entry system all
serve to make our J a more welcoming place
for all who attend programs and activities in
the building.
• We continued to expand our reach beyond
the walls of the J by partnering with Gesher
Jewish Day School and area synagogues to
provide community service opportunities for
Good Deeds Day. Our J was selected as one
of 6 JCCs across the country to pilot Project
Welcome Home, a program that addresses
the needs of active duty service members,
recent veterans, and military families. And,
two fantastic film festivals, the 15th Annual
Northern Virginia Jewish Film Festival and
the 4th Annual ReelAbilities Film Festival
continued to garner increased attendance
and audience engagement.
• We began the “quiet phase” of a Capital
Campaign which will ultimately fund
Vision 2020, including renovations to our
building and seed money to initiate new
and innovative programming throughout
our community. The Campaign has garnered
100% support from our Board of Directors,
including all of our Past Presidents, and it
will be unveiled to our members and our
community in the coming months.
The Adult Services Department launched
the new NV Rides Program — a network
of service providers working together
to improve volunteer driver programs
throughout the region. Developed in
partnership with Fairfax County and the
Jewish Council for the Aging, NV Rides
presents a special opportunity for the J to
expand its reach to the broader community.
• In FY2015, we continued to develop and grow
the Community Shlichut Program, which was
recently renamed the Shiri Rahamim Shlichut
Program in memory of our first shlicha.
The Family Services Department continued
to provide joyful Jewish experiences and
values for children of all ages. Our Health,
Fitness and Aquatics department helped
participants stay active and informed of the
latest wellness news. The Special Needs
Department continued providing programs
designed to help individuals with special
needs develop physical and social skills.
These examples of the great year we’ve had are
just scratching the surface! As you read through
this annual report, you will see program
highlights in three key areas: Community
Engagement, Families, and Wellness.
In conclusion, as my two year tenure as
President comes to a close, I want to
acknowledge and thank the members, staff,
and Board of Directors. It is through their
unwavering support and encouragement that
this agency serves as a hub for Jewish activities
in Northern Virginia. Our members are the fuel
that drives what we do. Our staff members
are simply the best. They spend many hours
working with a passion and mission to make
each activity a meaningful experience for its
participants. Jeff Dannick, the J’s Executive
Director, and I have worked as a team to help
ensure smooth operations of the programs and
facilities. Jeff is a true professional and it has
been a pleasure working with him. And last, but
not least, are the Board members that make
up your Board of Directors. They oversee both
the fiscal and governing policies of this agency
and have put in many long hours at committee
meetings and Board meetings to ensure the
positive governance of the J. It has been my
pleasure to work with all of you. Todah rabah
(thank you)!

VISION
LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
As I begin my fifth year as Executive Director of the J, I continue to be
honored and privileged to serve our community, our membership, our
staff, and our Board of Directors. Unlike the House of Representatives,
our leadership election cycles land on odd years, so 2015 marks the
conclusion of Connie Pesachowitz’s Presidential term, and the beginning
of the Scott Brown administration. Connie and Scott share some
common history: they both worked professionally at the J, moved on
to other professional opportunities, and then returned to the J as lay
leaders, culminating in the Presidency of the Board.
It has been extremely valuable to all of us at the J to have such
dedicated and experienced leadership at the helm. On Connie’s watch,
we completed our strategic planning process, began some long
overdue renovations to the facility, and continued to strengthen our
programming and financial stability. Now with the transition to Scott’s
leadership, we have the opportunity to focus on the implementation
of our strategic plan, continue to invest in our facility, and invest even
more extensively in the engagement of our broader Jewish community.
The plan is driven by a renewed vision statement, ten core values, and
six broad strategies. I am pleased to be able to share the highlights with
you here, and I welcome more in-depth conversations with all of our
interested members.
We are at varying stages of execution against the six strategies found
below, but I would like to highlight one in particular. Strategy #5,
Excellence in Governance, is dependent on identifying and recruiting
the best possible lay leadership. I would like to commend the
Leadership Development Committee, chaired by David Yaffe, which
has selected and recruited the largest, most diverse class of new Board
members since my arrival in 2011. This infusion of new energy and new
perspectives, under the leadership of our new President, makes the JCC
of Northern Virginia a very exciting place to work and play.
See you at the J
Guided by Jewish values, the JCCNV will spark,
foster, and build Jewish Connection, Community,
and Peoplehood throughout Northern Virginia
by creating outstanding opportunities for every
individual to explore the boundless potential of
Jewish life. Understanding that our community is
widely scattered, we will meet people where they
are — both within and beyond the walls of the JCC.
VALUES
Pride: We are proud to be a Jewish organization
and want to imbue that pride in all we do.
Inclusion: We seek to be inclusive and to extend
our reach so that we can bring Jewish vibrancy,
connection, and community to Northern Virginia.
Inviting and embracing: We recognize that we are
part of a diverse international community.
Respect and empathy: We will embrace all with
respect and empathy.
Excellence: Through our Board and staff, we
will demonstrate exceptional standards of
professionalism and compassion.
Partnership: We will seek out connections
and opportunities to partner, collaborate, and
cooperate.
Israel: We will seek to build understanding and
connection to the people, history, and future of
Israel.
Tikkun Olam: At the heart of our Jewish
community is our responsibility to repair the world. Learning: We will continually expand our capacity
to achieve our vision using new and expansive ideas.
Honesty and integrity: We will deal fairly and
with transparency, showing consistency among
principles, values, and behaviors while building
trust through personal authenticity and following
through on our commitments.
J,
Jeff Dannick
Executive Director
STRATEGIES
Our home is the Jewish community of Northern Virginia, and we will seek to reach our community in
multiple ways through three Vision-based areas of strategic focus:
Strategy #1: Our building will be a vital component of Jewish life, learning, and culture in our community.
Strategy #2: We will bring the vitality of Jewish life, learning, and culture to our community, meeting people where they are.
Strategy #3: We will be innovative in programming that begins in our building and moves across Northern Virginia to include all
segments of the community through collaboration, partnering, and coalitions. Programming will develop Jewish community that links
us to each other, Israel, and Jews around the world.
In order to be successful in our Vision-based strategies, we must build greater foundational strength. We will do that with three
supporting strategies:
Strategy #4: Development and Brandraising: We will implement a highly coordinated Board and staff development initiative that
aggressively supports the Vision, Values, and Strategies.
Strategy #5: Excellence in Governance: We will establish tools and practices to maximize Board effectiveness in support of the Vision
and Values.
Strategy #6: Operational Excellence: We will align operations to support the plan. We will hire, train, and retrain staff to support the
plan seeking the combinations of skills necessary to support the Vision and Values.

Impact Summaries
COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
With more than 120 programs taking place at the J and out in the community, the Community Engagement
Department strives to inspire Jewish journeys and provide opportunities for families in Northern Virginia
seeking deeper participation in Jewish life.
We have developed extensive outreach efforts to support programs designed to emphasize Jewish culture,
identity, and values to people of all ages and backgrounds. Partnerships with area synagogues, Jewish
agencies — including The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington — and local businesses are built upon to
encourage a hub-and-spoke concept where the J drives community outreach programs throughout the year.
Growing Jewish Families
Following the success of our first PJ Library® Book Buddies program, we expanded our reach and now hold
monthly programs in four different libraries located throughout Northern Virginia.
The Challah Tots program has grown to three locations — providing monthly programs at each. Families come
together to schmooze, braid challah, enjoy stories, and make crafts. An added benefit is forging partnerships
with local businesses.
Community
We engaged the community by expanding our holiday programming to include five Chanukah programs
serving nearly 600 people and programs were also held in celebration of Tu B’Shevat, Purim and Passover.
Annual events such as the MLK Day Give Together program, coordinated in partnership with Volunteer Fairfax;
Good Deeds Day held at Gesher Jewish Day School; the NoVa Simcha Expo; and J Fest continue to bring nearly
1,000 people together each year.
In partnership with the Jewish Community Relations Council, we hosted our largest Yom Ha’Shoah
Remembrance program to date — more than 600 people attended. This intergenerational program brought
together adults of all ages, teens from all over Northern Virginia, 120 visiting teens from a Mormon High
School in Utah, and a group of Young Adults who met with Russian survivors to hear their stories.
Project Welcome Home
Our J was one of only six JCCs in the country selected to pilot Project Welcome Home (PWH), a
program of the JCC Association that addresses the needs of our returning military and their
families.

“The J is an integral part of our daily lives. It’s where we run
into old friends and make new friends, where we push our
bodies in exercise classes, and where we expand our minds
with challenging and enlightening programs and cultural
events. From the tiny tots in the early childhood learning
program walking together to the parents and grandparents
visiting and playing games in the lobby or hustling to work
out, the J is a home for all generations.”
— Janet and Murray Horwitz, members and volunteers
Israel
The Shiri Rahamim Shlichut Program, recently renamed in memory of our first shlicha
(emissary), provides engaging and enriching programs throughout Northern Virginia. The
program helps engage members of our community by deepening their connection to Israel’s
people, history, traditions, and culture. For the past year, Dana Kalishov, our fifth Shlicha,
immersed herself in our community by developing programs for teens and adults that were
offered at the J and around the community. The Shiri Rahamim Shlichut Program is fully
funded by individuals and agencies in our community.
• More than 80 programs and presentations were given to teens and adults.
• 15 Northern Virginia teen’s participated in an eight week Israel Teen Fellowship program
in partnership with The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, JCRC’s Israel Action
Center, and the J. These 10th –12th graders examined the special relationship our Jewish
community has with Israel, learned how to be savvy consumers of media and information,
gained presentation and advocacy skills, and more.
• Our Shlicha delivered sermons at area synagogues, held teacher workshops in the religious
schools, sat on five committees, and held three preparatory meetings for groups going to
Israel.

CULTURAL ARTS
“Although I love attending
cultural arts programs, it
is the involvement with
planning that has enriched
my cultural growth the
most. Through my work
on the Film Committee, I
have met many fascinating
guest artists and speakers,
some of whom have
remained as personal
friends, and I feel the post
screening programs have
helped to heighten the
impact of what our festival
offers to our community.”
— Enid Liess, member and
volunteer

Mission
To demonstrate, illuminate and celebrate the breadth and depth of Judaism’s culture,
identity, creativity, diversity and resiliency through the performing, visual, and literary arts.
Our Cultural Palette
A Ladino folk song. A passionate tango. A spicy taste. A riveting memoir. A saffron
brushstroke. A family drama. A hearty laugh.

MARKETING & MEMBERSHIP
Key Initiatives
• Introduced and implemented the new JCCA branding which, in its simplicity, reexpresses the brand with new relevancy to a new generation. J stands for Jewish, of
course, and also for JCC — that big tent environment that transcends differences and
creates an atmosphere where anything is possible. Our brand adopts this succinct and
catchy colloquialism as our informal name. Officially, we remain the JCC of Northern
Virginia — and we are proud to embody every word in the name Jewish Community
Center. But in casual conversation and in our communications vehicles, we embrace
The J.
• Emphasized new member engagement in the first few months of their membership.
• Provided improved customer service by initiating ongoing customer service training to
staff and having additional member appreciation activities.
• Offered membership specials to the Fairfax County fire department staff and volunteers
and the faculty of Fairfax County schools. The specials allow us to build partnerships
while honoring those who serve our community.
• Our “J Friend” membership category quadrupled this year.
• We created a new young professionals membership category. The restructure increased
the category by 50%, suggesting that we are beginning to attract millennials.
NV RIDES
In October 2014, after nearly two years of discussion, the NV Rides program became a
reality. The concept was born out of the need to create a coordinated hub for volunteer
transportation for non-driving seniors, free of charge, in our community. Through a
partnership among the J, Fairfax County, Jewish Council for the Aging (JCA), and the
Community Foundation for Northern Virginia, NV Rides is working with community-based
organizations that have volunteer driver programs, or would like to start a program. NV
Rides is supporting these programs by helping to build capacity, raising awareness for the
need for volunteer transportation in the community, recruiting volunteers, providing a
ride scheduling software, conducting volunteer driver background checks, and marketing
support for those programs. There are currently five service providers who are providing
rides with support from NV Rides:
Shepherd’s Center of McLean Arlington Falls Church (SCMAFC)”
Mt. Vernon at Home (MV@H)
Reston Community Center (RCC)
Herndon Village Network (HVN)
Shepherd Center of Annandale-Springfield (SCA-S)
These service providers are primarily offering volunteer transportation to medical
appointments and to the grocery store. NV Rides expects to add three additional
service providers to the network by the end of summer 2015. As the program
grows, NV Rides is working to add additional functions to the initiative which will
enable non-driving J members get to programs at the J. Page 7

“We are so happy to have ‘C’ at the
J in the Infant class! She literally
starts laughing and smiling when
I park her stroller outside the
classroom every morning, and
knows when I say we are going to
see Miss Grace and her friends.
The teachers are so sweet and I
know they are spoiling her! They
are creative in what they do with
the babies each day. Whether
it’s helping her with rolling over
and mobility or helping her hold
different items so she can feel
different textures, we understand
how they are helping with her
growth and development. Now
that C. is starting to eat solid food,
they are helping us with what is
working, how she likes to eat, etc.
That advice is always helpful!”

FAMILY SERVICES
ECLC
• During the 2014–2015 school year, the JCCNV Early Childhood Learning Center
(ECLC) in Fairfax operated at capacity in all 18 classrooms with approximately
230 children ranging in age from six weeks to five years old. More than 95% of
students are full-time, and/or use extended day options.
• Our JCCNV-Beth El satellite program, located at Beth El Hebrew Congregation in
Alexandria, operated in seven classrooms with approximately 67 children ranging
in age from 18 months to five years old. More than 80% of the children enjoyed
full-time extended care enrollment.
• The JCCNV’s ECLC is still the only Infant/Toddler program in the Washington
Metropolitan Area that is guided by Jewish values and culture.
• Both locations continued their work as a JCCA Sheva Learning Community — our
Fairfax center was highlighted at the 2015 JCCA Professional Conference.
• Focusing on the Sheva Framework component of Educators as Professionals, the
ECLC emphasized professional development over the course of the school year
by creating Learning Community Groups within the school which allowed for
in-depth discussions, conversations, and reflections between educators, support
staff, and directors.
• The Director of Early Childhood Services and the ECLC Jewish Culture and Values
Coordinator had the opportunity to visit Israel with the JCCA Sheva group. From
this visit, they created a Torah Story room which provided a hands-on experience
for children to learn about the stories of Noah’s Ark and Moses.
• Focusing on parents as learners in our community, the JCCNV-Beth El ECLC
offered several parent workshops.
• More than 95% of respondents to an annual survey sent by the JCCNV-Beth El
ECLC expressed extreme satisfaction with our program and staff.
“We are so thankful that JCCNV-Beth El ECLC has been
the place where we trust others to care for the two most
important people in our lives — our boys. Beyond the
fantastic educational experiences and fun our children
have every day, and beyond the fantastic teachers, is
a preschool institution that genuinely cares about our
children, their well-being, and their happiness. We believe
the purpose of preschool is to instill a great foundation
for kids to love school and learning — Beth El has more
than exceeded our expectations!”
— Ilana and Michael Reyes, JCCNV-Beth El parents

School-Age Services
During FY2015, the Before- and After-School Program (BASE) and School-Age Services had
many achievements:
• 35 staff members supervised the school-aged kids in BASE: 30 in morning BASE and 154 in
the afternoon.
• Provided after-school transportation and care to 12 area schools; 5 also received beforeschool care.
• Provided BASE services to students from 4 local schools for which we do not provide
transportation, but whose parents want them in our program and provide their own
transportation. This demand increased from two schools in FY2014.
• Long-time staff member, Conor Dibble, joined the full-time staff as the School-Age Services
Coordinator.
• Developed and implemented “Package C,” or the “Home BASE Program” designed to
meet the needs of students in 6th–8th grades and their parents. The program features a
dedicated space with the technology needed to complete their schoolwork as well as age
appropriate books, games, and activities.
J Camps
In 2014, Camp Achva celebrated its 45th summer as the premier Jewish day camp in
Northern Virginia offering a unique blend of camp activities, Jewish culture, and fun-loving,
experienced staff members to facilitate a summer of fun and exploration!
• FY2014-2015 was one of transition. A new Camp Director, Brian Grossbard, was hired.
He brings a vast resume in Jewish communal service and a desire to provide the once in
a lifetime summer experience to our campers that he had at his own summer camp! As
a parent of campers in our program and a professional, Brian has the macro-micro zoom
lens that JCC Camp Achva needs to meet the challenges and achieve the goals of camp
successfully.
• The specialty camp program was expanded to run throughout the summer and was offered
to a broader age range. Additionally, we continued our work with community partners such
as Capital Camps, Washington Sailing Marina, Oak Marr Golf Course, Playwell Teknologies,
Little Hands, Fairfax Racquet Club, and Potomac Horse Center, to ensure another summer
of successful programming.
• In summer 2014, more than 300 campers enrolled in two or more weeks.
“When our daughter
started kindergarten last
fall, we were nervous
about her making the
transition to a new
aftercare program after
five years at our previous
daycare/preschool. The
transition to the J’s BASE
Program couldn’t have
been smoother! We have
found our new aftercare
home for our daughter
and our family. The
staff there made us feel
so welcome and our
daughter so loved… as a
parent, that is priceless.”
— Beth and Jason
Nicholls, BASE family
“I start my camp
countdown the day camp
ends. I cannot wait to
spend my summer with
my friends and the best
counselors ever!”
— Madilyn Posner, camper
“The JCC is our community. My children have
blossomed under the care of the Early Childhood and
the BASE programs. They love the swimming, dance,
and music enrichment opportunities. I love that it is
all in one place with no extra logistic concerns. The
kids and I love the friendships which have grown in our
time at the J. Summing up how wonderful the J is in as
few words as possible is hard. J”
— Merrily Wolf, BASE family
Page 9
“Our daughter Alexandra has been enrolled in dance classes at the
JCC for almost 4 years now. Her experience has been outstanding,
to such an extent that we had to enroll her younger sister, Victoria,
in ‘Toddler Tales and Tutus,’ and pre-ballet classes, which she has
enjoyed for the last one and a half years. These activities help
them grow well, with an appreciation for balance and grace. We
wholeheartedly recommend the ballet programs at the JCC.”
— Valentin and Otilia Neacsu, j.dance parents
j.dance
j.dance, a program of the J’s Family Services Department, is committed to
providing a safe and nurturing learning environment where students of all
skill levels can embrace this expressive art form. The program is based on an
appreciation of and respect for the art of dance and strives to instill confidence
and grace in each student.
Formerly known as the JCCNV Dance Academy, j.dance experienced major
transition in FY2015. Moving from the Cultural Arts Department to the Family
Services Department, the program was redesigned and re-imagined; our new
Dance Director, Barri DeFrancisci, was hired; and significant changes were made
to the program:
• Three new classes were added: Zumba® Kids, Barre, and Ballet 1A (for
absolute beginners joining in winter). All of these classes have seen great
success in enrollment and are continuing to grow!
• Two shows were produced and performed this year: the Preschool Dance
Recital and The Red Slipper. Barri produced, directed, choreographed, and
arranged the music for The Red Slipper, in which all of our youth program
students and Adult Tap classes performed.
The most exciting event hosted by j.dance in FY2015 was the Winter Bash
— a dance party for students in grades 5–8. We partnered with Electra
Entertainment, who generously donated their services and brought out a DJ,
emcee, four dancers, a photo booth, and professional lighting production. Fortyfive students attended and had an amazing time!
j.dance by the Numbers
• 23: number of classes offered
• 124: number of students (40 preschool, 65 youth; 7 adults); 16 summer camp
dancers
• 400+: audience members at our year-end performance
Page 10
“I often describe j.dance as a true community dance
program. It is inclusive and nurturing and the instructors are
compassionate. Everyone who wants to dance is invited to
participate. All thrive. If you ask my children why they love
j.dance, they will mention their friends, the teachers, and the
recital. If you ask me, I will tell you that it is a rare combination
of a non-competitive school with high-quality instructors in a
comfortable setting. It is the only dance program we have ever
wanted to be involved in. At j.dance, we are at home.”
— Karen Kapen, j.dance parent
SPECIAL NEEDS
• In the summer of 2014, Kadima, our social skills camp, served 30 children and
supported approximately 20 campers enrolled in Camp Achva’s school-age camp
program. Campers in 4th–6th grades visited Capital Camps in Waynesboro,
PA and spent 3 days and 2 nights sleeping in bunks and experiencing the
excitement of residential camp. 98% of the campers had never before slept
away from home. The positive experience provided campers with feelings of
self-empowerment and increased independence skills.
• We partnered with Arlington County Therapeutic Recreation to provide new
social skills classes. The classes were geared towards children ages 6–12 with
high functioning autism, ADD/ADHD, and related disorders. Children learned
to explore their emotions, make appropriate friendships, improve self-esteem,
manage anxiety, and work on a variety of social skills. Classes were taught by a
school psychologist and met once a week for 8 weeks.
• Cooking With Class was a new program that provided adults of all abilities an
opportunity to learn the fundamentals of food and meal preparation. We
partnered with George Mason University’s Nutrition department to use their
kitchen. Classes were run by trained chefs and excellent volunteer staff. This
program is partially funded by the Joey Pizzano Memorial Fund.
• In April 2015 we hosted the 4th Annual ReelAbilities Film Festival for the Greater
DC community. During the week-long festival, there were 18 screenings at 16
venues. Screenings were supported by 7 national partners, 8 local sponsors, 16
venue partners, and 27 outreach partners. With the guidance and service of a
brand new and knowledgeable steering committee, we were able to make a
great impact in the community through the cultural medium of film, helping to
break down the stereotypes of people with disabilities through award-winning
films and influential talk-backs.
• With the addition of 3 new programs, expansion of 6 ongoing programs,
and funding from 5 new organizations, the Special Needs Department has
effectively served over 2,500 individuals, families, community employees,
and friends through social, recreational, educational, inclusive, and/or leisure
programming.
“The level one autism group, Going Places!, has been a wonderful experience for our son
Stephen. It has given him the opportunity to make friends where he feels accepted and it
has given us the opportunity to bond with parents faced with our similar situation. These
parents have reached out and addressed our concerns. They have provided us with a
wealth of information. Life before Going Places! was fairly empty for Stephen. His life revolved around his
immediate family and a few hours a week bagging groceries. Now Stephen has friends, a
girlfriend, a weekly bowling team, a scheduled once a month activity that he looks forward
to attending, and other programs and workshops all because he joined Going Places! We
can’t thank you enough! Going Places! has changed our son’s life!”

WELLNESS
“I am filled with immense gratitude
that the JCCNV has reached out
and embraced our community with
leadership and programs. Being
one of the JCCNV’s outreach
locations has helped to establish
the Greater Gainesville Jewish

out this way won’t feel isolated.
You are all a dream come true for
me and all Jews out here needing
to feel the presence of our people

ADULT SERVICES
The Adult Services Department offers wellness, social and self-development
programs and activities for adults of all ages. In FY2015, the Department served
over 1,000 adults ages 55+ per month at the J and five satellite locations
throughout Northern Virginia.
Highlights
• 140 people attended the Thursday at the J fall kick-off program featuring
caver Chris Nicola, the largest audience to date!
• The Adult Learning Institute (ALI), the J’s center for continued learning
for adults of all ages, is close to concluding its second year. A total of 226
individuals have participated in 28 classes over the two-year period. 55 of the
people enrolled (almost 25%) reported that they had not participated in any
JCCNV Adult Department programs in the past year. Thus, ALI has connected
with many members of the community who were not previously involved
at the J. In the first year, participants rated their overall satisfaction as an
average of 4.61 out of 5.0. That figure increased to 4.83 out of 5.0 for classes
completed so far in FY2015. • Our World Today and in the Future, an ongoing monthly current events
discussion group with topical and provocative topics, hosts 50–60 people each
month.
• Adult outreach programs are held weekly in Alexandria and monthly at four
other locations throughout Northern Virginia — Reston, Leesburg, Gainesville,
and Fredericksburg — and feature speakers, trips, films, and holiday
celebrations. These outreach programs have proven to be an invaluable
connection between the J and those who are unable to attend programs at
our Fairfax location.
• The Voice, the Adult Services bi-monthly program guide, was distributed to
nearly 11,000 adults aged 55+ throughout Northern Virginia. This marked a
26% increase in circulation over last year.
• Adults-on-the-Go, the Adult Services bi-weekly e-newsletter, was distributed to
1,616 adults, a 62% increase in the last year.
The J partnered with Bethlehem Lutheran Church to host a FACETS
Hypothermia Shelter week from March 1-7, 2015 to provide meals, volunteers,
planning, and significant financial support. Here is what was accomplished:
• Average of 45 guests served each night (range of 39-52)
“Though retired, we want
to stay active, be of service,
and contribute to something
worthwhile. It is important to
have a purpose and to be part
of something that is greater
than yourself. The J fits the
bill. It provides activity, an
opportunity to serve, and allows
us to meet very nice people.”
— Ed and Tamara Faggen

• 70 volunteers (40 from BLC, 24 from JCC, and 6 from partner congregations)
• 525 volunteer hours committed to this effort (with 17 volunteers providing over
10 hours of service each)
• Substantial donations of money, clothing, toiletries, meals, snack items, etc.
• Breakfast, a bag lunch, and a hot dinner provided for seven days
• A weekly Metro bus pass or equivalent cost in a gasoline fill-up provided to
58 guests
HEALTH, FITNESS & AQUATICS (HFA)
In FY2015, HFA Services (formerly Sports, Fitness & Aquatics) embarked on a reevaluation of the services the department offered and how to best serve the needs
of our growing active adult population. A strategic decision was made to partner with
the Adult Services Department. The result will be a stepped-up collaboration of efforts
between the Adult Services Department and the HFA department who, combined, will
launch a Wellness Services initiative in January 2016. “The JCC is not just a place
I love to take my favorite
kickboxing class, workout in
the gym, or swim in the indoor
pool. It’s not just the place I
go to be with my very best of
friends. It’s not just a place
I go to see a movie at the
Jewish Film festival. To me, it
is all those things and so much
more. I love being at the J and
getting involved to bring our
Jewish community together! “
— Tammy Cohen
Weekly, the HFA department serves approximately 525 participants through its 48
fitness classes. Approximately 50% of our participants attend more than one class per
week. The HFA goal is to provide educational and fitness opportunities to help participants
make personal choices that result in a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
Highlights
• Personal Training supports 50% of the Health and Fitness budget. Training staff,
creative training packages, promotions, and word of mouth helped the program
grow by 12% in FY2015.
• The 5th Annual Northern Virginia Cycle Fest drew more than 100 riders, exceeding
previous participation numbers. We raised more than $4,000 of which $3,000 was
donated to local charities and the balance purchased a leg press machine for the J’s
fitness room.
• JCC Waves swim teams operated at full capacity and continued to train more than
200 swimmers. One of the most memorable moments of the season was JCC Waves
swim team member Olivia Guerra’s qualification for the USA Junior Olympics.
• Lunch Bunch preschool swim classes operated at full capacity in all 14 classes
and had a 4:1 student to instructor ratio. In addition to learning how to swim, our
trainers and Water Safety Instructor (WSI) certified instructors taught children about
water safety, healthy habits, and encouraged them to build relationships with peers.
“Twenty-five years ago,
when I joined the JCCNV I
enrolled in a small exercise
class where I met a group
of women who I now call
my “best friends.” We have
been together for many
birthday celebrations, Bar/
Bat Mitzvahs, and now
weddings and funerals.
We still meet together 2-3
times a week for a hard
workout of kickboxing,
spinning, weights,
swimming, and coffee. My
day or my body would not
be complete without my
morning at the J with the
girls. These friendships
and the J are my life.”
— Jodi Pick
“The ‘J’ has become a fixture in my life and highlight
of my days I spend there. After triple bypass surgery, I
had let my physical side slip. Shortly after becoming a
JCC member, I enrolled in one-on-one training. Thanks
to the twice a week workouts with Matt Alvin and my
regular attendance of at least 5 days a week at the
J, my strength, stamina, and well-being have greatly
improved. I credit my progress to Matt’s understanding,
patience, and tailoring my workouts to meet my needs.”
— Earl Perry

DEVELOPMENT
The JCC of Northern Virginia continued its growth by providing services spanning all age
demographics, life interests, and geographic locations throughout Northern Virginia. Our
initiatives touch the lives of more than 10,000 people with a corresponding budget of more
than $8 million. Dues and program fees cover about 80% of our operating expenses and the
remaining resources are provided by our more than 500 generous individual, foundation,
corporate, and government partners who value the impact of our programs and services and
share our commitment to meeting the needs of our community.
Highlights:
• FY2015 saw exciting renovations to our lobby, the Bodzin Art Gallery, restrooms, and several
office spaces — the first significant updates since the building opened in 1990. We are in the
early stages of a campaign, which will be launched in the near future, to fund this and many
other upcoming improvements. New security gates were included in the renovation thanks to
a grant from the Department of Homeland Security.
• Our Annual Gala, chaired by Judy and Eugene Greenberg, chronicled the J’s past, celebrated
our present, and envisioned an ambitious future of a strong, vibrant, and diverse Northern
Virginia Jewish community. Nearly 200 community members, heads of local nonprofits,
politicians, and community rabbis supported the fundraiser. The Eleanor Sue Finkelstein
Award for Special Needs was presented to Jerry Hulick of the Washington Group Special
Care Planning Team. The fundraising gala provided the perfect setting for thanking and
recognizing our donors who keep the J on stable financial footing.
• The J proudly acknowledges the individuals and corporate partners in its Giving Circles: 46
members of the Trustee Circle, 26 members of the Chai Society, 26 members of our Legacy
Society, and 12 corporate sponsors.
“The Washington Group Special Care
Planning Team is a proud supporter of the
Jewish Community Center of Northern
Virginia (the J). The J’s vision of building
connection and community and the strength
of its special needs program compliments
our mission of helping to make a positive
difference in the lives of individuals with
special needs, their caregivers, and other
family members.”
— Jerry Hulick, Special Care Planner
