FALL2010 Jewish values guide and enrich the JCC.
Underlying the JCCs vitality are coreJewish tenets transcending generations,epitomized by the story of Abraham andSarahs tent. In the story, Abraham so
values welcoming guests that heinterrupts G-d to greet three strangers,invite them in and offer refreshment.
The JCC strives to build a culture thatincorporates this Biblical philosophy,welcoming each person entering ourfacilities. Focused on what transpires
every day inside our tent, the JCCaspires to be a center of learning, joy,growth and respect for diversityregardless of how or whether one
worships.
HOLIDAYS ANDCELEBRATIONS
Shabbat
Shabbat is observed from sundownFriday until the appearance of threestars in the sky on Saturday night.Shabbat is primarily a day of rest andspiritual enrichment, a time to set aside
our concerns and devote ourselves to
higher pursuits. To sanctify the Sabbath,we say a blessing over wine and eat aspecial braided egg bread, challah.
Shabbat is welcomed every Friday withcelebrations by the Early ChildhoodDevelopment Center, Clubhouse and
AgeWells Independent Adult ServicesDepartment.
Rosh HashanahSeptember 9-10
Begins at sundown, September 8
Rosh Hashanah, which marks the
beginning of the Jewish year, is a timefor serious introspection. According totradition, G-d writes our name in theBook of Life and decides who will live
and who will die, who will have a goodlife and who will have a bad life, for the
following year. We eat apples andhoney in the hope that we will have a
sweet year.
Yom KippurSeptember 18
Begins at sundown, September 17
The Day of Atonement is the most
important day of the Jewish calendar. Itis dedicated to fasting, reflection, prayerand penitence. Traditionally it isbelieved to be the last opportunity to
seek forgiveness from those we havewronged during the past year.
SukkotShemini Atzeret, Simchat TorahSeptember 23-October 1
Holy days begin at sundown on
September 22 and September 29
Sukkot is a time to celebrate the harvest.
In honor of the workers who lived in thefields, we build a sukkah, a three-sidedtemporary booth that has no real roof or
doors. We decorate it with branches,fruits and vegetables. We eat, study, playand sometimes sleep in our sukkahduring the holiday. We remember that
when the Jewish people wandered inthe desert after they were freed fromslavery in Egypt, they built sukkot forshade and rest.
Sukkot lasts for eight days. The last twodays are called Shemini Atzeret andSimchat Torah. Each year in the
synagogue, we read the Torah from startto finish. Simchat Torah marks the daywe finish reading the last section of theTorah and begin reading the first section
over again.
The JCC sukkah is built in the Levinson
Patio and decorated by staff and ECDCand Clubhouse children.

Chanukah: Begins at sundown,December 1This eight-day holiday commemoratesthe victory in the second century B.C.E.of Judah Maccabee over Syrian KingAntiochus, who tried impose Greek
religion on the people of Israel. Whenthe Maccabees prevailed, they entered
the desecrated Temple and found anuntainted jar of oil sufficient to light the
Temple lamp for only one day. But amiracle occurred, and that small amountof oil lasted for eight days. To commem-orate that miracle, we light a Chanukah
menorah for eight nights and eat foodscooked in oil.

Fighting the Fires of Hate:America and the Nazi BookBurnings
Organized by the United StatesHolocaust Memorial Museum, theexhibition is presented in collaborationbetween the AJM and the Holocaust
Center of the Jewish Federation of
Greater Pittsburgh.In 1933, German students supported by
the Nazi party attempted to burn allworks they deemed Un-German.Targeted authors included BertoltBrecht, Helen Keller, Ernest Hemingway,
Sigmund Freud, and Karl Marx. As freeexpression was consigned to the fire,the flames foreshadowed future Naziatrocities.
This breach of fundamental democraticvalues was enough to elicit a responsefrom Americans, long before they
entered World War II. Even duringwartime, condemnation of bookburnings was a rallying point against theNazis.
Nearly eighty years later, the Nazi bookburning legacy continues as extremistgroups ban and burn literature such as
the Harry Potter series and KurtVonneguts Slaughterhouse Five.
Employing artifacts, newsreel footage,
documents, video, and other forms ofmultimedia, the expansive exhibitionexplores the book burnings, Americasimmediate reaction, the burnings role in
the American war effort, and thecontemporary discourse on censorship.
