Spring has sprung, and the earth comes alive once again!The children and I are beginning to prepare the beds for planting

– pulling back the mulch, digging in fresh compost, and topping off the beds with fresh mushroom soil. They are so excited to see the perennials poking

through the soil and the little buds appearing on the fruit trees and blueberry bushes.

“But how long until we can pick the strawberries, JoJo?”, they ask almost every day. “Can we plant lots of baby tomatoes?” Can we have a kale leaf?” (Amazed that it survived all winter!)

These are the things that excite the children, as the days grow long

and warm.In preparation for the garden season, this past month we

learned all about our human bodies... the skeletal, muscular and circulatory, and digestive systems – how the brain, heart and lungs work, and what healthy foods are needed to maintain all those parts. We learned about the food pyramid – connecting it with Haman’s triangular hat – and exactly what a healthy plate looks like. We focused on breakfast and its importance in supplying “brain food” so you can think great thoughts all day. The children drew, painted and collaged skeletons, traced each other, and added internal organs and designed their own healthy plates, all the while singing “Dem Bones” and “Boom, Boom, Ain’t it Great to be Healthy”!

In the coming month, we will be learning about soil and seeds. We will be planting all the root and cold-weather crops, i.e., onions, carrots, beets, rutabagas, kohlrabi, peas, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, kale, etc. We will also be planting new willow for our Living Sukkah after it arrives from Canada. And, with the help of a few Boy Scouts, we will be building the grape arbor. We are fortunate that Ezra Weinstock (a former Turning 4s student of mine) has asked us to help him attain his Eagle Scout rank by assisting us with this garden component.

We will also be connecting classroom learning about Pesach/Passover, in the Garden Center/Art Studio learning about desert life and how things grow in such a dry and sometimes hostile environment. And, of course, we will focus time on Earth Day, learning how to Shimirat Ha Teva – guard the environment - and Shomrei Adamah – be a guardian of the earth, incorporating our Jewish values into what we do on this

planet to B’rit – be a partner with Hashem.So...busy, busy, busy...it’s Spring!Happy Spring, Everyone! Ms. Jodie (Raffensperger)

A Message from Margie Adelmann, CEO

Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg

At the recent Youth Sports Banquet, attended by nearly 200 youth

and their families, I watched as each team was honored for their

accomplishments this past year. I applauded the most improved athletes

and the MVP athletes as well as the coaches who were so proud of their

teams and how far they all had come! There were plenty of medals adorned

by our swim team and two championships by our middle school girls’ and

boys’ basketball teams, speeches by 12th graders who had played ball at

the JCC since Iddy Biddy and were clearly emotional as this chapter of

their lives comes to a close. I saw gratitude for lessons learned on the court

and in the pool, and I saw hope and inspiration. The young children who

are playing Iddy Biddy basketball now were looking on with awe at the

teens who were playing Iddy Biddy only a couple of years ago. They were

so excited to accept and show off their trophies! As volunteer Iddy Biddy

coach Scott Rubin remarked, the bench is strong and the future is bright!

I feel that way every day at the Federation! The bench is strong! There

are so many activities that we are doing to ensure a bright future. Our

Young Leadership Development cohort is preparing 15 young adults

to lead. The Life and Legacy program launched this winter has quickly

demonstrated that our community wants the Federation to be strong

well into the future. The Federation was the first of the 14 organizations

to achieve our goal of 18 participants, and as of this issue, we have 24

Letters of Intent from individuals and couples who have included the

Federation in their after-life giving. This clearly says to me that there is a

commitment to the future of the Harrisburg Jewish community.

Is there still work to be done and funds needed to support our work?

Absolutely! But the future is bright and indeed our bench is strong!

L’Shalom,

It is with a mixed bag (to borrow the title of an old Ritchie Havens album – you fellow “boomers” will understand to whom I refer) of emotions that I announce my retirement from the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg, effective April 29th. It has been a long, interesting and rewarding 30 years, and as I reflect back on my many experiences and memories, I ask your indulgence.

I began working for the Jewish Community Center on March 27, 1986. I was hired by Richard Corman, the JCC Executive Director at the time, and Joni Willingham, Front Office Manager. I began working two evenings a week in the “old” Front Office; the job expanded to four nights a week and eventually evolved into where I am today.

As I reminisce with fellow co-workers who’ve been here as long as me (or longer), we often joke that we should write a book about all that we have witnessed and gone through over these many years. It probably wouldn’t make it to the New York Times Bestsellers’ List, but it would surely make for many laughs, some tears, and even some cringes by those who would understand and appreciate all the stories. But don’t worry, there’s no book deal in the works – yet…

Memories off the top of my head:

• TheGewirtzgirls–Layah,Miriam,Devorah,Rachel,andYael-teachingmeHebrewwhen they came to the JCC to swim. They would rush up to the front counter, and on pieces of scrap paper would write transliterated Hebrew words, and then write down the English translation for me. I still have those treasured pieces of paper!

• TheeveningMaintenanceman,FloydMulligan,alovelymanandareassuringpresencefor me when there was no one else but the two of us in the building. And who can forget the Simpson brothers? They did everything from maintenance, to kitchen duty, and who knows what else - enough said…

• TheSnackBardownstairswiththefoodmachinethatwasalwaysstockedwithNorman’sdelicious tuna and egg salad sandwiches. Boy, do I miss those!

• Thosewholeftustoosoon–HarryWilliams,GarySpitz,CarolCohen–notjustco-workers/bosses, but dear friends who will always hold a special place in my heart.

• TheBasketRoom,whichwasbasicallywherethetreadmillsandellipticalmachinessitnow in the current Fitness Center. This used to be where members would get keys to their personal lockers, towels for their workouts/showers, and sheets for the large black leather chairs in the Health Club. Remember when the JCC and Health Club were two separate memberships? And the entire fitness center was housed in the room that was the former Spin room – my, how we’ve grown!

During those first few months that I was working here, I often heard the name “Mr. Hursh.” And the more I heard of him, the more curious I became to meet this seemingly larger-than-life individual. When I finally did meet Albert Hursh (of blessed memory), I was welcomed by a kind, courteous, and very dapperly-dressed man. He would come into the office in the evenings, and I would sometimes give him a ride home. After the building renovations, his office was moved up to the second-floor suite where I occupied the cubicle across from his office (I eventually inherited his office, complete with his glass-covered wooden desk and comfy leather chairs). I would assist him with various tasks, and my fondest memories of Mr. Hursh were his meticulousness to detail with whatever document he was writing, his great sense of humor and desire to share a joke – which he insisted was always clean – and his amazing ability to type on a manual typewriter, even in his advanced years! He was a true mensch, in every step of the word.

I have fond memories of being involved in some incredible events that took place here. In 1987, when the United Jewish Federation – as it was called back then – was assisting in bringing Jews from the Soviet Union to America, as part of the Operation Exodus project, several families were brought to Harrisburg. I became friendly with one couple, in particular, who would come in the evenings to swim; the husband spoke some English, his wife virtually none. So he asked me to make a tape recording of English words and expressions so that they could learn our language. He, in turn, made a similar tape for me in Russian. I like to think that I played a small part in helping them to assimilate to life in the United States.

I’ve been here for three floods – 1995 - even though we were not in this building; we were housed in the building on Sixth and Montrose Streets (the current location of Hershock’s); 2003 and 2011. I remember coming in, along with other staff members, the night before the River was due to crest to help move the Fitness Center and Early Learning Center equipment up to the first floor. I recall being astounded at how the community came out in

force to help us. And then when everything had to be moved back downstairs without the convenience of the elevator! But we survived all of these catastrophes by all working together. It was simply amazing!

Another event involved Hadassah’s major program where they transformed the Mary Sachs Auditorium into Tel Aviv Airport, complete with Israeli shops and cafes. My job was to get onto the building’s loud-speaker system every so often and announce El Al plane departures. The ladies in charge – Linda Freedenberg, Helen Friedman, and Myra Pompian - were very pleased with my efforts, and I had fun being a helpful participant – even if only from the confines of the Front Office.

At different times throughout my career here, I was asked to attend Board and Executive Committee meetings of both the JCC and the Federation, in order to take minutes. And while transcribing minutes continues, to this day, to be my least favorite task, I was grateful for the opportunity to sit in on these meetings and to witness the community’s leadership at work. To those of you, past and present, you are an impressive group of individuals, and I truly admire your dedication, concern, and commitment to ensuring the longevity of these organizations and of this community, especially in the more challenging of times.

One of the more sobering events for me occurred in September 2001. We, the staff, were given the devastating news that our beloved Controller, Harry Williams, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. A few days later, as we were walking into a staff meeting, we heard that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. It wasn’t until after the meeting and we headed down to the TVs in the Fitness Center that we realized the horror that was taking place in New York, Washington, and outside of Pittsburgh. Clearly, many of us were struggling with the gravity of these revelations, so the organization leadership called the staff together for a meeting, of sorts. Rabbi Ron Muroff did an incredible job of leading the meeting with so much compassion and concern, and it turned out to be more of group therapy session. It wasn’t going to change any of the outcomes, but, for me, it was the most helpful and comforting thing that could have been done for us at that time.

One of the most gratifying aspects of my experience here has been learning about Judaism, the Holocaust, and Israel. My beloved late husband, Danny, and his family were Jewish, but they would joke – but sincerely appreciate – at how I learned so much about Judaism and even taught them a thing or two. The sobering education I received over the years about the Holocaust, and the privilege I’ve had in meeting many of our local Holocaust survivors, has been very meaningful to me. I thank those individuals who’ve been so kind and caring and patient in teaching me; you have truly enhanced my life.

An event that I was proud and excited to be a part of was the JCC’s BIG NIGHT. It was fun to watch it grow from its inception more than a year ago and to see it culminate in the wonderfully grand event that it was on December 5th! All who were involved worked extremely hard, and the results their efforts were clearly evident that evening.

Two of my favorite things to do here is to visit the Early Learning Center and to visit with our Senior Adults. Back in 2002, I wrote a memo to the staff of the Early Childhood Department – as it was referred to then – and its sentiments are relevant to this day. The memo is included in this issue of the Community Review. As for the Seniors, it has been my honor to interview a few of them and write articles on their fascinating lives – my only regret is that I didn’t get time to do more of them. I’ve joined them on some of the lovely day trips that Cheryl Yablon has coordinated, and I’ve also gotten to know some of them from helping with their special lunch programs and when attending the Pops Series of the Harrisburg Symphony. They are the most interesting, sweet, and funny individuals I’ve had the privilege to know!

So, as I conclude this saga, I want to offer some final thoughts. I consider myself blessed to have worked with an extraordinary group of people over these past 30 years. Your hard work, dedication and loyalty to the Jewish Federation and to the Jewish community are unparalled with any other group of individuals with whom I’ve worked. You, along with many special community members, have been here for me, not only in sharing my joys, but also have held me up during some of the darkest times in my life. I will never, ever forget all of you for that. I thank the Jewish Federation, the staff, the members, and the community for embracing me on this 30-year journey. I will carry you and the memories with me for the rest of my life.

With sincere fondness,

Patti Bromley

2016 JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL BOOK CLUB SELECTION FOCUS, BY ARTHUR MILLER

Published in 1945, acclaimed playwright Arthur Miller’s only

novel, Focus, was written in response to the anti-Semitism that

Miller had observed and experienced throughout his life and

which was unabated at the end of the war. It tells the story

of Lawrence Newman, whose comfortable if ordinary life in

Brooklyn falls apart when his neighbors and work associates

begin to suspect that he is Jewish, and he is forced to confront

not just the prejudice around him, but also what might be

considered his own racism, through sheer indifference.

Focus was produced as a motion picture in 2001, starring

William H. Macy and Laura Dern. A film described in Vanity Fair

as “small and durable and rare, a tiny cinematic jewel,” Focus

had the bad fortune to be released in September of that year,

and was instantly buried in the national trauma of 9/11.

The Harrisburg Jewish Film Festival is proud to present Focus as our 2016 Book Club selection.

It will be screened on Sunday morning, May 22nd at 10:00 at the Midtown Cinema – please

come early for pre-screening bagels and coffee – and will be followed by a discussion of the

film and the book upon which it was based, moderated by Professor Helen Khanzhina.

Focus, the novel, is readily available (both new and used, for as little as $4.00 including

shipping) on Amazon.com. A number of copies will also be available to borrow at Beth El. For

more information, please call Marcia Cohen, at 717-979-3841. For more information about the

Film Festival, our film selections, special events, and screening schedule, please visit

A Concert Celebrating

Janet Staub (z”l)

By Jessica Jacobs

A year ago, the Jewish community lost a beloved and philanthropic member, our good friend, Janet Staub (z”l). Janet’s lifelong love of music, her commitment to the community, her generosity, wit and energy, spurred her to realize her dream for our community. She created a Jewish chorus that transcends individual affiliations. Most people who are dealing with a serious illness would succumb to despondency, but Janet was not “most people”. Instead, she directed much of her remaining energy to the creation of Kol HaNeshama, an a cappella chorus.

At Janet’s unveiling several weeks ago, her daughter, Rena, spoke most eloquently, sharing a memory from one of Janet’s last days. Rena recounted that as a dear friend hummed a Jewish melody in her ear, Janet was heard to say, “How can I die when there is such beautiful music to hear?” Janet’s vision and philanthropy have ensured the creation of Kol HaNeshama. It is for us, as a community, to sustain and grow that vision.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 5, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center, 3301 North Front Street, Harrisburg. The Western Wind, the internationally acclaimed a cappella music ensemble will perform, along with Kol HaNeshama.

True to Janet’s love of learning, a Choral Workshop will be offered by the gifted Western Wind singers for all Central Pennsylvania singers and choruses. It will be held at the JCC from 1:00-3:00. Workshop/Concert Combo tickets are $35 in advance, or $40 at the door, and include a snack and beverages. Group rates are available for chorus members: Contact David at 717-533-6483 or [email protected]. Log in to www.jewishharrisburg.org for tickets, information and sponsorship opportunities.

Concert tickets are $10 in advance, or $12 at the door. Concert tickets are available online at www.jewishharrisburg.org or can be purchased at the JCC desk.

YOM HASHOAH OBSERVANCESHOLOCAUST MONUMENT OBSERVANCE

The Yom Hashoah commemoration at the Holocaust monument on Riverfront Park will take place on Sunday, May 1 at 11:00 a.m. The winners of the Schwab Holocaust Essay contest will read their essays. Teri Berman and her son, Sam Welks, will share the experience of their beloved mother and grandmother, Annette Berman, z”l, a Holocaust survivor from France.

READING OF NAMESOn Wednesday evening, May 4, Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Memorial Day) will be

commemorated with the “Reading of Names” program to be held at Temple Beth Shalom, 913 Allendale Road in Mechanicsburg. This meaningful program will begin at 7:30 p.m. with a special opening service led by children from congregational Religious Schools and the Silver Academy. Following the opening ceremony, a vigil in which the names of those who perished will be read continuously over a period of 24 hours.

“Unto Every Person There is a Name” seeks to dignify the memories of victims of the Shoah, the Nazi Holocaust, by reading their names aloud. These victims were stripped of their names by their oppressors and tattooed with numbers. Through the public reading of the names of Holocaust victims, this program strives to restore a portion of their humanity and to retrieve them from the lost depths of anonymity.

For more information or if you would like an opportunity to read names, please contact Lillian Rappaport at 236-9555, ext 3402 or [email protected].

HOLOCAUST CIVIC COMMEMORATIONThe annual Holocaust Civic commemoration, co-sponsored by the Governor’s Office and

the Pennsylvania Jewish Coalition, will occur in the Governor’s Reception Room in the State Capitol.

For more information, please contact Lillian Rappaport at the Jewish Community Center, 236-9555, ext. 3402.

The Silver Academy and Kesher Israel

Share ShabbatOn Saturday March 19, The

Silver Academy students, parents and teachers joined with Kesher Israel Congregation for a special Shabbat event. The PTO and members of KI joined together to create a festive Shabbat morning to be shared. Silver families participated in Kesher Israel’s morning services and the reading of Parshat Zachor, with their students leading some of the prayers. There was also a junior congregation led by Morah Aviva, Aviva Woodland, for grades 1-8 and story time with Morah Tamara, Tammy Reid, for students in Kindergarten and younger. “It was really delightful to have the children all praying together,” according to Morah Aviva.

After services, the students, congregants and guests gathered for a Kiddush luncheon. The children were eager to wear their new customized baseball caps they received from KI as a gift. Rabbi Males made Kiddush and Rabbi Gewirtz, longtime teacher at The Silver Academy, was honored with the Hamotzei blessing. Everyone in attendance enjoyed their meal while the children, many in pre-Purim costumes, played on and off the stage with the colorful balloon decorations. The Burcat family graciously enhanced our Shabbat by celebrating the Aufruf (pre-wedding Aliyah to the Torah) of David, prior to his marriage to their daughter, Silver Academy alum Shira, which will soon take place in Israel. The festive gathering of community, family and friends coincided with a Siyum (completion of a unit of) Mishnah by Rabbi Gewirtz who wove into his Siyum presentation the wisdom of his learning and its specific relatedness to The Silver Academy.

The Silver Academy plans to continue its Shabbat events with our local Synagogues, honoring our close communal connections throughout the Harrisburg Jewish community. The next Silver Academy Community Shabbat will be at Beth El Temple on Friday April 8.


The Silver Academy and Kesher Israel

Share ShabbatOn Saturday March 19, The

Silver Academy students, parents and teachers joined with Kesher Israel Congregation for a special Shabbat event. The PTO and members of KI joined together to create a festive Shabbat morning to be shared. Silver families participated in Kesher Israel’s morning services and the reading of Parshat Zachor, with their students leading some of the prayers. There was also a junior congregation led by Morah Aviva, Aviva Woodland, for grades 1-8 and story time with Morah Tamara, Tammy Reid, for students in Kindergarten and younger. “It was really delightful to have the children all praying together,” according to Morah Aviva.

After services, the students, congregants and guests gathered for a Kiddush luncheon. The children were eager to wear their new customized baseball caps they received from KI as a gift. Rabbi Males made Kiddush and Rabbi Gewirtz, longtime teacher at The Silver Academy, was honored with the Hamotzei blessing. Everyone in attendance enjoyed their meal while the children, many in pre-Purim costumes, played on and off the stage with the colorful balloon decorations.
