Dear Members,Wow, I can’t believe that it is already September and the High Holiday season. I wish you and your family L’Shanah Tovah, A Happy New Year. 5774, this year in the Jewish calendar, is going to be a great year here at the MJCC. I’m excited about everything that is coming in this New Year and you should be too!

The inaugural Jewish Literary and Cultural Arts Festival kicks off October 3, 2013 with the fantastic author duo, Rachelle Bergstein and Jane Weitzman. The festival continues with Israeli Artists Moshe and Goldie Monzon’s show and sale October 11-16. On October 15, join us for A Conversation with Marcia Clark moderated by Memphis’ own, Geoff Calkins. November 9-14, the Shainberg Gallery will be filled with many local artists selling their art and crafts for holiday gifts. A Night Out with Dan Zevin will take place November 9th and concluding the festival will be a panel discussion about “What is Gained and Lost in Fictionalizing the Holocaust?” with Memphis born authors, Anna Olswanger and Daniel Friedman and Rhodes Professor Stephen R. Haynes. To learn more about the festival, visit pages 14-15 and visit jccmemphis.org/culture to buy tickets to all of the events. You won’t want to miss anything!

On October 24, the Memphis JCC will welcome Ethan Bortnick, child prodigy and award-winning entertainer, who has moved audiences at home and abroad and is dedicated to combining his musical pursuits with his philanthropic endeavors. Join us for the MJCC Annual Celebration at the Germantown Performing Arts Centre. All proceeds benefit MJCC scholarships, programs and services. I would like

to thank Gary & Dinah Makowsky and Jerome & Evelyn Makowsky for co-chairing this year’s event and to the rest of the Annual Celebration

committee for planning this wonderful evening. Tickets are available for $150 and sponsorships are encouraged. Visit jccmemphis.org/celebration for more information.

In August, we upgraded the Indoor Pool’s filtration system. Even though you, the member, can’t see the change, the pool filter needed an upgrade! The filter was 30 years old. This was a great upgrade

to our already wonderful pool facility. We hope you will enjoy it too.

The MJCC also has launched a mobile app where you can get MJCC at your fingertips. You can see the group fitness schedule, the pool schedule, and much more by downloading the app at jccmemphis.org/guidebook or by visiting the Apple App Store or the Android Play Store and searching for JCCs of North America. We are constantly updating the app so if there is something that you would like to see there, please send the suggestion to Anna Shabtay, Marketing Director, at [email protected].

As you can see throughout this issue of the MJCC Scene, the New Year, 5774, will bring a lot of great programming to the MJCC. I hope that you will stop by, enjoy something, and pass the information on to your friends.

L’Shanah Tovah,

Craig Weiss MJCC President

featuring Ethan BortnickThursday, October 24, 2013 at Germantown Performing Arts Centre

6:45pm Dessert and Coffee Bar

7:30pm Performance by Ethan Bortnick with Special Guest Appearance by Stax Music Academy

Twelve-year-old Ethan Bortnick has moved audiences nationally and internationally as a pianist, composer,

singer, and entertainer. As a driven humanitarian, he is dedicated to combining his musical pursuits with

his charity work. At three years of age, the Hollywood, Florida native begged his parents for piano lessons

and discovered an uncanny ability to hear a song once and play it back note for note. His deep musical

knowledge, broad tastes, and staggering talents make his performances a treat for the whole family.

Onstage, Ethan performs relaxing jazz, dazzling classical music, raise-the-roof rock n roll, and his own

memorable originals. He knows hundreds of songs that he can instantly call up to memory. Ethan is not

only a musician; he recently finished filming a full-length feature film called “Anything Is Possible”. It will

be released in late 2013. He co-wrote all of the songs in the film and scored all the background music.

Followed by Dessert Reception and Book SigningDan Zevin, master of “Seinfeld-ian nothingness” (Time), is trying his best to make the transition from couplehood to familyhood. Acclimating to the adult-oriented lifestyle has never been his strong suit. From instituting date night to joining Costco; from losing ambition to gaining perspective. Where it’s all heading is anyone’s guess, but, for Dan, suburbia’s calling—and his minivan has GPS. Dan’s last two books, Dan Gets a Minivan and The Day I Turned Uncool, have been optioned by Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions.

Did You Know?Yoga Can Be Considered

Strength Training!Strength training entails repeated exercises that move the

specific muscles in the same pattern against a resisting force. Yoga offers the benefit of combining strength work and stretching. There are plenty of postures in

yoga in which the arms or legs push toward a straight position against resistance, in the process strengthening

extensor muscles such as the triceps and quadriceps.

The American Council on Exercise (ACE) reports on a 2005 study conducted by the University of Wisconsin that tested 34 previously sedentary women to examine effects

of three hour-long hatha yoga classes per week. The 17 women who were assigned to the yoga group performed

an average of six more push-ups and 14 more curl-ups following the study period. Poses useful in increasing

upper-body strength include the plank, the camel, half moon, boat and revolved triangle, ACE reports. As one gets

fitter, strength training becomes crucial, and thus yoga is complementary to – not a replacement for – weight training.
