The Turning 4s and the Pre K class of the Brenner

Family Early Learning Center went on a special trip

on Thursday, August 6th. The children took a tour of

our state capitol building. Wearing their “eat sleep

camp” tees, they explored this wondrous building

with their friends and teachers. This trip was made

possible by Lisa Fleming and the staff of Senator

Rob Teplitz. Thank you for giving our children this

experience. We look forward to returning next

summer.

A Message from Margie Adelmann, CEO

Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg

Summer has always been my favorite season. I like fall, but it means

winter is just around the corner. And as much as I like summer, I dislike

winter even more. So that is why it is especially nice to have many things

to look forward to as the season begins to change. Our fall will be jam

packed with programs that will lead into another busy winter. We will be

partnering with other organizations like Hadassah in September to host a

program on Human Trafficking September 10th at the JCC. The Jewish

Community Foundation of Central Pennsylvania, The Jewish Home of

Greater Harrisburg and Jewish Family Service will join us on October

22nd for our first Joint Agency Annual Meeting, and on November 12th

our Cardozo and Maimonides Societies will partner together to host the

film “The Farewell Party.” And this just scratches the surface because

so much more is in store as we lead up to Big Night, Saturday evening

December 5th, celebrating 100 years of the Jewish Community Center in

Harrisburg. Now’s the time to dig out your bell bottoms, your love beads

and start practicing the twist- Peace, Love and the JCC promises to be

far out, and tickets will be available very soon for the party of the century!

Like the knives they sell on TV - but wait there is more and that is before

autumn begins! The Kids Triathlon, Doggy Dip at Green Hills and 5K

Walk/Run will all take place before summer officially ends. Even though

I am a summer person, every season at the JCC offers something special,

and that makes the change of seasons a little more bearable for me!

L’Shalom,

#STOPHUMANTRAFFICKINGSeptember 10, 20157:00pm, Mary Sachs

at the JCCThe Harrisburg Chapter of Hadassah

will be sponsoring an event on September 10th at the JCC entitled “#StopHumanTrafficking” at 7:00 pm. This effort is designed to raise a continued and collective Jewish voice in Harrisburg for the Human Trafficking Awareness Project, both nationally and locally. Hadassah seeks to engage thousands in the Jewish community to speak out about the commercial and sexual exploitation of men, women, and children in the United States, and urge policymakers and grassroots activists to do their part to end human trafficking.

Because of Harrisburg’s location at the intersection of many interstate highways, and many miles of road in between smaller cities, the area has unfortunately been a hub of trafficking activity.

Hadassah’s Trafficking in Women Policy Statement urges all nations to make the elimination of the trafficking of women a priority by strengthening anti-trafficking legislation, sharing information, aggressively prosecuting traffickers and mounting public information campaigns. Hadassah further urges countries to provide safe havens for victims of trafficking and institute a comprehensive range of social services for their rehabilitation.

The panel event will feature members of the state legislature engaged in passage of the bill SB75, sponsored by state Sen. Stewart Greenleaf, R-12, is described as “extensively revising the law on human trafficking in the areas of prosecution, prevention, victim protection, evidentiary, confidentiality, limitation of actions, victim impact statements and classification of sexual offenses.”

Other panel members include Chip Morlier, Professor of Criminal Justice at Penn State, and Rhonda Hendrickson, Director of the YWCA of Greater Harrisburg.

A dessert reception will follow. The event is free and open to the public. Due to the content of the discussion, it would be appropriate for teens over 13.

Attendees should RSVP: Laura Monaco [email protected].


Marilyn Klein visited the JCC Day Camp for Mitzvah Day and spoke to the campers about the importance of the Josh Klein Bikkur Cholim Society. The Josh Klein Bikkur Cholim Society is an organization that was formed in memory of Marilyn’s son, Josh, and it has served the needs of the ill and their families in the central Pennsylvania area since its establishment in May of 2000. The campers made crafts for the residents at the Jewish Home and, as always, enjoyed their time with Marilyn. They do such a wonderful job during Mitzvah Day and were very proud of their handiwork.

SLIP: Cultivating the Next Generation of Jewish Leaders

Zara Tickner, SLIP Alumnus ‘15“I think one of the best parts of our

Jewish community, as well as many around the world, is our sense of community,” says Zara Tickner. Zara says she feels this same sense of community working at Senator Teplitz’s office where they work with one another to figure out how to best help the community around them.

Zara’s internship with Senator Teplitz was made possible through the Federation’s Summer Leadership Internship Program (SLIP). After completing her freshman year of college at Wittenberg University, majoring in financial economics, Zara says she chose to intern through SLIP because she wanted to have a meaningful summer experience. “Many college freshmen are not able to get internships, so SLIP seemed like a great way to get involved with the community, learn about a possible career path, and experience the work done by state legislators.”

Interested in utilizing her political science minor, she felt an internship with Senator Teplitz would be a great experience for learning aspects of the political process and gaining the inside view. She says, “Politics has always interested me, and I can see myself working for a legislator one day.” Through writing memos for the Senator, researching potential bills, writing bills and resolutions, helping with other miscellaneous projects, and even working with the Jewish Community on several occasions, Zara feels she has learned a tremendous amount about the political process.

“Of course, I had some basic knowledge from a high school government class, but I think watching senate sessions and understanding the planning and politics that contribute to the process is invaluable and something I never would have learned without experiencing it firsthand,” she says. “Currently I am working on a project for the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, which I find really interesting!” In addition to all of the skills she learned, she says the best piece of advice she received is to do your research ahead of time so you know the material well, and plan what you want to say before you need to speak on the topic.

Zara says she would definitely recommend the SLIP to other students. She knows it is crucial and fascinating to gain experience in your field of study, especially while saving money living at home. She says, “Many students struggle to get this kind of experience. Since this program is available, you should definitely take advantage of it.”

If you are interested, or know someone who may be interested in SLIP for next summer, please contact Ivy Schneider at (717)236-8104 x3299 or at [email protected].

DAVID KOPP CONCERT - FABULOUS!!

On Tuesday, July 21, 2015, the JCC was treated to a fabulous concert by

David Kopp, son of Harriet and Sam (z’l) Kopp. We had not only our own

Senior Adult Club members attend, but many non-members as well. If

you missed out on David’s performance, you’ll have another chance to

hear him, as he has promised to come back next year.

We are so fortunate to have a pianist of his caliber, as a Harrisburg

native. David generously gave us his time, not only for the performance,

but the practice time and travel expenses as a donation to the JCC Senior

Adult Club in honor of his mother, Harriet, who has been a loyal JCC

Senior Adult member for several years. We publicly want to thank David

for giving us this wonderful opportunity to share the music he so lovingly

performs.

Proud mother, Harriet Kopp with her son David.

Utilizing Self CareBy Karyn Rosenberg

Actively engaging in activities which produce positive physical, spiritual, mental and emotional health is referred to as self-care. In this day and age, with the stresses of our job, family and other responsibilities, it is easy to forget

to take time to care for our body,spirit and mind. This leads to stress, which negatively impacts

our lives. This can be manifested in many ways, such as losing sleep, gaining or losing weight, eating poorly, feeling depressed, etc. Conversely, actively pursuing activities which increase self-care include: eating nutritious and balanced meals; meditating; doing yoga; exercising; maintaining a journal and engaging in fun activities with friends and family. These activities are necessary to assist in decreasing stress levels, providing us with more positive experiences.

Busy schedules tend to prevent many people and families from eating well. Simply making a daily goal to include at least one well balanced nutritious meal can be an asset to helping you feel better today than you felt yesterday. Making this small change can impact weight loss/gain goals and cause the body to feel efficiently fueled, thus reducing the run down feeling many experience during the day. Adding exercise to the daily schedule impacts mental equity, and a positive mood. Examples of exercise can be short such as a 15 minute walk through the neighborhood, playing a Wii dance game with your children and/or longer times going to a gym multiple times weekly. Exercise has been linked to better sleep quality, which impacts health and wellbeing.

Many people keep a journal to vent, or record daily events. There are ways to maintain a journal to increase self-care. One that I especially enjoy is using a journal to count my daily blessings. The act of recording positive experiences daily helps to add perspective to rougher times during the day. Additionally, changing your outlook from the proverbial “I have had a bad day” to “I had one bad phone call and I am glad it is over” impacts how the rest of the day will go.

Making time with family and friends to share fun activities is necessary to keep support systems active. Enjoying time with others over picnics, dining out or engaging in exercise with significant others are other ways to take care of yourself.

Ultimately self-care activities are a personal choice. Acknowledging that they are necessary and then implementing them are the step toward stress reduction and a healthy lifestyle.


Samuel Jacob Schwab will become a bar mitzvah on September 12, 2015. Sammy is the brother to Madison and Alexa and the son of Daniel and Patty Schwab, grandparents Elaine and Izzy Schwab and Jack Kassel and Terry Kassel (z’l).

Sammy has spent his entire life growing up at the JCC. He started in the ECD and continued on to the Silver Academy where he accomplished distinguished honors and won several awards,

including regional math 24 accolades on behalf of the Silver Academy. Sammy was extremely active at all the programs of the JCC including flag football, summer Day Camp and especially all

JCC basketball programs. Sammy currently attends Linglestown Middle School where he has achieved distinguished honors as well. Sammy is a member of Temple Ohev Sholom, and Dr. Andrea Lieber will be leading his Havdalah bar mitzvah service.

For the past 6 years, Sammy has spent his summers at sleepaway camp with his sisters and cousins at Camp Nockamixon. During the school year, you can find Sammy either playing on his soccer and basketball teams or playing a tennis match. When Sammy isn't on the playing field, he is actively engaged in sports discussions filled with statistics and deep history.

Fortunately, Sammy insists on giving back to his community and has volunteered countless hours at the Humane Society, Harrisburg City Schools classroom, Josh Klein 5K event, and many other organizations. Most recently Sammy won the Kohl's scholarship award for his work with the Humane Society and broad range of volunteer work. If you know Sammy, his family and friends will always come first and he is always willing to help at any hour to any one that should ask. Sammy is proud and honored to be a member of this community.
