Tai Chi - Continuing Session

Program Description: Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention

Originating as a martial art in ancient China, Tai Chi is one of the most effective exercises for health of mind and body.  Although an art with great depth of knowledge and skill, it can be easy to learn, and participants will soon notice its health benefits. For many, it continues as a lifetime journey.

Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention is based on the Sun style of Tai Chi. This is the newest of the tai chi styles.  The beginning form that will be taught has 21 movements.

In the continuing class, we will refine the beginner form and add on as we learn Part 2 of the beginner form, bringing the movements to 41. We will also be learning the traditional Sun style form of 73 movements. Depending on class interest, we may explore the Yang style 24 movement form.

Benefits to practicing Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention

  • Relieves pain and decreases stiffness

  • Improves balance and reduces falls

  • Builds muscular strength and stamina

  • Improves ability to perform daily tasks

  • Improves concentration and memory

The first Caravan came to the United States in 1973 to bring a message of hope and peace for Israel.

Each Caravan is made up of a group of five girls and five boys and their two leaders. They are chosen to be members of the Caravan based on their maturity, fluency in English, and of course, their talent in the performing arts. After several rounds of competitive auditions and interviews, the scouts spend a year training and rehearsing for their exciting summer in North America. What a beautiful way to celebrate Israel!

Program Description: “The Apple That Was Stolen from the Synagogue: A Strange Story from Medieval England” with Dr. Evyatar Marienberg, Dept of Religious Studies, UNC Chapel Hill

In the middle of the 13th century an object was stolen from a synagogue in southern England. King Henri III himself was calling for an inquiry. What was that object? Why was it stolen? Dr. Marienberg will suggest a solution that might be related to the upcoming High Holidays.

Evyatar Marienberg, author of seven books and over 20 articles, teaches in the Dept. of Religious Studies at UNC-Chapel Hill. Born and raised in Israel, he is a historian of religions with a focus on beliefs and practices of Jews and Christians of various periods. His academics have taken him worldwide, including Paris as a student of Catholic theology at the Sorbonne, New York as a visiting fellow at Yeshiva University, Montreal at McGill University, Department of Jewish Studies, Stockholm’s Padeia Institute, Tel Aviv University for teaching and research, and the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York.

JCC Book Club: "The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store"

Program Description: “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store” by James McBride

In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When the state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize him, it was Chona and Nate Timblin, the Black janitor at Moshe’s theater and the unofficial leader of the Black community on Chicken Hill, who worked together to keep the boy safe.

As these characters’ stories overlap and deepen, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins of white, Christian America struggle and what they must do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town’s white establishment played in it, McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community—heaven and earth—that sustain us.

Bringing his masterly storytelling skills and his deep faith in humanity to The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, James McBride has written a novel as compassionate as Deacon King Kong and as inventive as The Good Lord Bird.

JCC Speaker Luncheon: "A Different Hat in the Ring: The Yarmulke, American Jews, and the Political Arena"

  • David R. Kahn Community Campus (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Program Description: "A Different Hat in the Ring: The Yarmulke, American Jews, and the Political Arena" with Professor Eric Michael Mazur, Virginia Wesleyan University                            

The yarmulke, whether worn a lot or never, plain or colorful, nestled in a tallis bag or stuffed in a drawer, has been a topic of debate. As Jews encountered non-Jews with greater frequency in the modern world, the yarmulke became the symbol of  a Jewish presence in non-Jewish public spaces. It has emerged as a factor in negotiations over the politics of identity between Jews and non-Jews in public spaces. Debates among Jews about yarmulkes arose in the Reform movement of the nineteenth century and continued with the rise of gender-related issues in the twentieth century. American politics throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries has seen the yarmulke playing a role. In addition the yarmulke has served as a marker not only for Jews and Judaism, but also for the nature and role of religion in the modern world.

Eric Michael Mazur, professor of religious studies at Virginia Wesleyan University, teaches courses on Judaism, religion in American culture, and the academic study of religion. He is the author, co-author, editor, and co-editor of books on religion in American law and culture. Most recently Prof. Mazur authored chapters on Judaism in American culture, as well as co-edited the Bloomsbury Reader in the Study of Religion and Popular Culture (2022) and Religion and Outer Space (2023). His articles on religion in American culture and history, the arts / literature / film, popular culture, religious liberty, politics, and race / ethnicity appear in academic journals, encyclopedias, and edited volumes. In addition to scholarly pursuits Eric served in Washington, DC as a lobbyist for the American Jewish Committee and Americans for Democratic Action.
