Meeting Challenges: Annual Report 2010 1
t he JCC Movement has adapted to a new reality, one where organizations can
no longer take for granted that things will stay the same, that associates will
always remain connected, or that distinctions between agencies will forever retain
their clarity. We are entering a time of flux and rapid change when JCCs and
JCC Association must become more flexible and much more responsive. Today’s
environment has caused us to think about different ways of delivering our services so
we can effectively lead the JCC Movement in the 21st century.

Our board task forces have helped us reach these conclusions. Accordingly,
we spent 2010 devising entirely new approaches to wellness (DISCOVER@
JCC), to executive succession and the development of a new generation of lay
leaders, to doing a serious study of the Jewish impact of JCC day camps, and to
reinvigorating the JCC connection to Israel. A primary focus was to open up a real
conversation with our affiliate JCCs about our recommitting to our Jewish mission,
and to encourage them to begin similar conversations with their users about the
type of Jewish lives they want to lead, and how we can make it possible for them
to do so. We tried hard to listen more than to speak, and to understand more than
to prescribe.

This annual report follows that pattern. We consistently looked at things from the
point of view of our affiliated JCCs and asked ourselves what were the challenges
they faced in 2010, and how did we respond. We provided a wealth of meaningful
services to JCCs and their communities, but we know that we must constantly adapt
to the rapidly changing conditions, both Jewish and general, within which JCCs
operate. We want to hear from you through our different communications channels—
our 1000 Conversations blog, Facebook pages, Twitter feed, our new website, our
Listservs—and even old-world technology like the telephone. Make sure to look on
our website at the videos we have prepared to supplement this annual report and let
us know what you think. We always look forward to hearing from you.

Jewish Community Centers have an exalted
mission: they are dedicated to enhancing the well-
being of their communities in a multitude of ways.
That means the JCC Movement cares about the
spiritual, cultural, physical, psychological, and
economic health of the people who come to JCCs
to learn, to play, and to grow.
JCCs represent the highest and deepest values of
Jewish life—a reverence for education, compassion,
and justice—and a uniquely North American
expression of Jewish culture.
In welcoming everyone, the JCC is the one
place where people of different backgrounds
can enjoy the extraordinary richness and
variety of Jewish tradition, everything from
Maimonides to Shalom Sesame.
At JCC Association, we are always aware of our
responsibility to support JCCs as they continue
their vital work. The year 2010 was the year we
looked for solutions, pragmatic ways we could
help JCCs overcome their challenges. From our
Biennial Conference in Atlanta, which focused on
providing JCCs with the right tools to do their jobs,
to the continuing expansion of JCC Excellence:
Benchmarking, we dedicated ourselves to serving
our constituents and putting their needs first.

atmosphere deeply familiar with the classic Jewish wisdom of An Ethical Start®. We
created a beautiful family activity calendar based on the mishnayot
at the JCC? drawn from Pirke Avot, which forms the basis of the program, and sent it
to almost 7,000 families. In addition, our consultants trained more than
2,000 early childhood directors and teachers on the most current and
effective pedagogical practices.

Our Benchmarking data tells us
that JCC users appreciate a rich
Jewish ambience and that they
are more likely to donate when
they feel the JCC is a vibrant
Jewish institution.
How can JCCs ensure that they
exude that Jewish vibrancy?
We trained staff from 54 camps to use TAG: Jewish Values through
JCC Camping® and the Goodman Family Foundation: Yisrael Sheli
(My Israel), and we continued the intensive Jewish education of resident
camp directors through our Hemshech and Netivim programs, with
support from The AVI CHAI Foundation. JCCs comprise the largest
network of Jewish camps, serving almost 85,000 children.
We compiled extensive background resources for the staff leaders of
our JCC Maccabi Israel trips, and we sent monthly updates to JCC
executives and marketing directors on the contemporary situation
in Israel—not just the news that’s always in the headlines, but
information about Israeli business, music, movies, holiday
celebrations, food, and everything that makes the Jewish
State such an exciting place.

We shared a weekly electronic d’var Torah from the

Mandel Center for Jewish Education, and we gave
JCC leaders the opportunity to engage in serious
Jewish learning at our Biennial convention and
our board meetings. Although the JCC is open
to all, we worked hard to ensure that all
JCCs have that expressly Jewish feeling.

How to
attract, develop,
and retain
the staff and
volunteer leaders
of tomorrow?
Our Benchmarking data clearly
shows that a satisfied, motivated
JCC staff is associated with greater
member retention and more
program participation. That means
a healthier bottom line for JCCs.
We also know that only half of JCC
professionals expect to be in their
jobs in three years.

What can JCCs do to retain their best

staff members and provide them with
the development and advancement
opportunities that will keep them
engaged and productive and serving
two million users?

Because human capital is critical to the success of
JCCs, the JCC Association board established the
Future Talent Task Force to learn how to identify
and advance promising staff. In 2010, we awarded
$70,000 in JCC Association graduate scholarship
funding for potential and current JCC professionals
to enhance their expertise, and we launched a social-
media campaign to reach more recipients. The Merrin
Center for Teen Services offered its coveted Teen
Professional Fellowship to a new group of 16 JCC
teen workers. These dynamic young professionals
have proven to be candidates for the next generation
of JCC management. To make it easier and more
economical for JCC staff members to continue their
professional learning, our professional leadership
department instituted a series of webinars, which
drew hundreds of participants across North America.

Our research shows that executive directors who

have a clear vision for their JCCs inspire and
motivate their staff. But how can executives develop
the skills to clearly communicate their vision?
Our annual Executive Seminars encouraged 67
executive directors to keep learning and growing,
and we provide first-time executive directors with an
intensive mentoring program to help them succeed.
The Mandel Center for Excellence in Leadership and
Management offers consultation in strategic thinking
and executive-board development. The 2010 Biennial
convention in Atlanta gave executive directors and
lay leadership the priceless opportunity to learn
together, forming a deeper understanding of their
respective roles and responsibilities. The Esther
Leah Ritz Next Generation JCC Leadership Institute
at the Biennial enrolled 55 emerging JCC leaders in
an intensive training program, which also introduced
them to each other as future JCC leaders.

Today’s JCC staff member requires feedback

and evaluation to remain committed, and we’re
committed to helping JCCs acquire the skills they
need to support their staff.

Challenge:
How to
re-invent the
JCC for a new
generation?
Today’s younger generation communicates
differently — and has other opinions about
involvement — than their parents did.
Shaped by the digital age they grew
up in, they are accustomed to rapid
change, passionate about social issues,
and skeptical about institutions. Their
engagement in the Jewish community
cannot be taken for granted, nor can
their association with the JCC.
Jewish young adults and
parents with young children
are the future of Jewish
community in North
America. How can JCCs
evolve to connect with
this generation, give
them the services
they want and need,
and inspire them
to map their own
meaningful Jewish
journeys?
What kind of Jewish lives do people
want to live... and how can we make it
possible for them do so?
With that question, Allan Finkelstein introduced the idea of engaging in “1,000
Jewish conversations,” a continent-wide discussion about major issues that
impact Jewish life, and how the work of JCCs can address those issues. The
conversation generated a number of ideas aimed at removing barriers to Jewish
involvement among today’s young people — and informed much of the work of
JCC Association throughout the year.
We gave the stage to two important young voices at the JCCs of North America
Biennial convention in Atlanta. Sharon Brous, founding rabbi of the innovative
spiritual community IKAR, urged JCCs to raise the bar, not lower it, noting that
the more you challenge this generation, the more they respond. Ariel Beery,
CEO of PresenTense — a group that connects creative young minds with the
resources to make their Jewish social venture ideas a reality — described a
generation reaching out to make a difference, and saw that JCCs could become
ideal platforms to help them realize their potential.
We developed DISCOVER @ the JCC, a campaign of programming and
marketing resources that aim to posit JCCs as the total wellness leaders in
their communities. DISCOVER is piloting now at six JCCs. Its first phase will
focus on providing a holistic wellness model for soon-to-be parents and families
with young children. Today’s young parents often feel disconnected from the
traditional support structures that guided previous generations through the
challenging early years of childrearing, creating a tremendous need for the
JCC to become their go-to spot. DISCOVER will offer them programming in
everything from mommy-and-me yoga to health fairs, from financial planning
for young families to Shalom Sesame™ — and of course, all of it with a strong
foundation in Jewish values.
The tools of 21st century marketing and communications have changed — and are
redefining community for a new generation. To keep JCCs on top of the curve,
we provided training at Biennial, at regional conferences, and via webinars,
on how to evolve the JCC’s marketing strategy from advertising to creating
relationships, using new channels like FaceBook, Twitter, Google searches, and
pay-per-click campaigns.
Real change is impossible without strong and informed leadership. Our task
force on executive succession advised JCCs to prepare now for the approaching
turnover of top staff as the baby boomers near retirement, and prescribed steps
to ensure JCCs find capable new professional leaders. On the lay side, our task
force on engaging a new generation provided a path for JCCs to reach out to
prominent young people in their communities and encourage them to bring their
expertise and viewpoints to the board.

Challenge:
How to put
Israel at the heart
of the JCC...
every day?
In the ‘60s and ‘70s, nothing unified North
American Jews of all denominations like
support for the young nation of Israel
during its struggle for survival. In recent
decades, as Israel has become more
secure, more prosperous, and more firmly
established, politics have increasingly
chipped away at that unity. Today, it is
all too common for Israel to be regarded
as a complicated topic, too political to
be on the agenda outside of yearly Yom
Ha’atzma’ut celebrations.
Our connection to Israel is far too
important to be pushed to the sidelines.
Eretz Yisrael is the nexus of Jewish
history and tradition, and modern Israel
is the epicenter of Jewish culture and
creativity today. If our JCCs are to be
true and complete Jewish environments,
Israel must be part of the equation. But
how do we foster a meaningful relationship
between JCCs and Israel in a new era?
Meeting Challenges: Annual Report 2010
Our task force on revitalizing the JCC/Israel
relationship published its report in May, and
called for a new approach, one that encourages
open discussion and constant engagement
with Israel. We began a year-long pilot program
with seven JCCs to help them be exemplars in
implementing the task force recommendations,
and provide opportunities for informal Israel
education and open forums for discussions.
Our new Young Shlichim program paired JCCs
with young, idealistic, and dedicated Israelis who
in sharing Israeli cultural life with North American
Jews, have touched their communities with
programs that entertain, educate, and inspire.
Working with the Jewish Agency for Israel, we
are able to bring these emissaries to JCCs at a
reduced cost, and help turn the JCC into the town
hall of the Jewish community.
Our Mandel Center for Jewish Education
published the third curriculum of its Israel
education program for JCC resident camps,
Yisrael Sheli: My Israel. The goal of this program,
generously funded by the Goodman Family
Foundation, is to impart a clear picture and love
of Israel to teens, and to inform them with facts
before they enter a university environment all too
likely to confront them with anti-Israel sentiment.
We literally connected teens with Israel over the
summer, taking groups from several JCC camps
on a five-week exploration of the Jewish homeland
with our JCC Maccabi Israel program. And we laid
the groundwork for our biggest teen experience in
Israel yet, working with our partner, Maccabi World
Union, to bring our most popular Jewish-identity
building programs — JCC Maccabi Games® and JCC
Maccabi ArtsFest® — to Israel for the first time, in
the summer of 2011. Nearly 1,000 teen athletes
and artists are expected to participate.
Our office in Israel sends regular bulletins to JCC
leaders to keep them aware of current issues,
and provides JCCs with a monthly compendium
of information about Israeli movies, music, books,
holiday celebrations, and food. We are doing
everything we can to keep Israel on the mind of the
JCC Movement, and in its heart.

Children from California to New York lined up to learn to swim at
Lenny K JCC Swim Academy sites, and more JCCs are in the process
of signing on to this revolutionary water-safety system. The four-time
gold medal winner Lenny Krayzelburg business model provides JCCs
with an expanded revenue stream as well as way to connect with
young families who want their children to be safe around the water.

An Ethical Start® calendar a

We produced a family-activity calendar through An Ethical
Start, our early-childhood-education values curriculum,
which suggested games, projects, and conversation starters,
all based on mishnayot drawn from Pirke Avot, the classic
Jewish text. The calendar was another way to engage young
families with children in JCC preschools and to expand their
connection to Jewish life.

 JCC Maccabi Israel teen trips
JCC Maccabi Israel trips were a great success
for JCC camps from Miami, Milwaukee,
Chicago, and Pittsburgh. Traveling together
with their camp friends through the Jewish
State cemented the bond these teens felt for
JCC Maccabi Games and ArtsFest each other and for their JCC camp. And the
together! camp benefited from a more cohesive group
of young counselors.
Our first ever combination JCC Maccabi Games/JCC
Maccabi ArtsFest was a great success in Baltimore,
and the Games in Denver, Omaha, and Richmond, and
ArtsFest in San Rafael, California, drew thousands of
teens to participate in what has become the largest
gathering of Jewish young people. Besides participating
in sports and arts workshops, the teens spend time in
community service and just
having fun together. The
JCC Maccabi Games and
ArtsFest are one of the
most popular Jewish
teen programs ever.

Days of Caring and Sharing
Teens attending the JCC Maccabi Games in Baltimore, Omaha,
Richmond, and Denver, and JCC Maccabi ArtsFest in San Rafael,
California, spent part of their time serving their communities. Some
of the athletes worked with the Special Olympics, while others
coordinated sports activities for kids from the local YMCA and Boys
and Girls Club. All the Days of Caring and Sharing projects allowed
the teens to perform the mitzvah of helping others.

Merrin Teen Fellows

The Merrin Center for Teen Services selected 16 professionals
working with teens to participate in the sixth cohort of the
acclaimed Merrin Teen Professional Fellows Program. The
program, which started in 1999 with the support of Seth
Merrin and Anne Heyman, will feature five seminars held over
16 months. Participants focus on developing their leadership
skills, learning how to serve teens more effectively, planning
their career paths in the JCC Movement, and deepening their
sense of Jewish identity.

 Training Highlights
We recognized the need
for JCC professionals to
maintain and enhance their
skill sets despite the economic
hardships brought on by the
recession, so we designed
a variety of long-distance
learning opportunities. The
result was that hundreds
of JCC staff members took
advantage of the chance
to learn. We ran webinars
on time management,
supervision, programming,
early childhood education,
and many other topics.

of marketing, fundraising, governance, and professional
leadership services to offer JCCs a more complete portfolio.
We introduced a client-contact tracking system to help ensure
that JCCs were receiving the individual attention they need
and deserve. We made 222 visits to affiliated JCCs.

JCC Grows
Affiliated with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s People’s Garden Initiative,
our program for social-justice gardens at JCCs continued to resonate with many,
and more JCCs told us about their gardening and other food-related projects.
Many JCCs now sponsor CSAs (community supported agriculture) and farmer’s
markets. Some participated in the fresh-food collections we encouraged around
the High Holidays, which were donated to local food pantries. Growing and eating
wholesome food in a sustainable way is an essential part of our new wellness
initiative, Discover @ the JCC.

Israel Shlichim at JCCs and JCC Camps
Once again, we interviewed, vetted, and trained over 400
young Israeli shlichim to work at JCC camps and JCCs.
Through their presence, these energetic young Israelis
introduced JCC campers to contemporary Israel, a country
that is as diverse, as dynamic, and as fast-paced as the U.S.
and Canada. At a time when the ties of North American
youth to Israel are slackening, bringing shlichim to JCCs is
more important than ever.
Michele Obama’s Let’s Move Initiative
First Lady Michele Obama invited us as the sole Jewish
organization to participate in a White House meeting of
community faith-based groups committed to combating
childhood obesity. Her Let’s Move Initiative wants to reduce
this health risk in one generation, and we support that effort
all the way. Our VP of program services and the Mandel
Center of Jewish Education Patricia Cipora Harte (standing,
third from left) proudly represented JCC Association and
committed us to expand JCC Grows to one-third of JCCs in
the next five years.
JWB Jewish Chaplains Council
Since 1917, JWB Jewish Chaplains Council has served the religious,
educational and morale needs of Jewish personnel in the U.S.
Armed Forces. We maintain an unwavering commitment to these
dedicated men and women. We provide what they need to observe
Shabbat and holidays; our chaplains and trained lay leaders offer
comfort, counsel and assistance to resist the overwhelmingly
Christian culture in the military; in short, we strive to keep them
connected to Judaism and the Jewish community throughout their
military service.
During the past year, JWB had more than 300 points of contact
per month requesting help, guidance, materials, counseling and
intervention. Of these, approximately two-thirds come from
chaplains and lay leaders, one-sixth from active and reserve military
members, and one-sixth from families of Jewish military personnel.
JWB recruits potential chaplains from the major rabbinical training
institutions in the United States; provides special training and
counseling for them, and recruits and trains lay leaders to serve
where no Jewish chaplains are available. Working through its
network of chaplains and lay leaders, it provides kosher foods and
ritual necessities to Jews serving across the world; it offers support
and counsel to the families of active-duty Jewish military personnel,
and ensures that Jews killed in action receive appropriate ritual
services. In 2010, we sent hundreds of holiday packages to troops
overseas to enable them to observe the High Holy Days, Hanukkah,
Purim, Pesach and Shavuot.
Torahs for Our Troops
JWB Jewish Chaplains Council has
undertaken to commission small,
lightweight Torah scrolls for military
chaplains to carry easily in the battle
theater and on ships. A Torah scroll,
no matter the size, presents a major
fundraising challenge, but we have
been gratified by an overwhelming
community response. The first Torah
was completed and dedicated in May at
the U.S. Capitol, and is already in use.
After only six months of fundraising,
several more scrolls have been
completed, much to the delight of
military chaplains on active duty.
Senator Carl Levin (D-Michigan), chair of the Armed
Services Committee (left) prepares to add to the
Torah scroll with help from scribe Zerach Greenfield.
Meeting Challenges: Annual Report 2010 15
 Dedicated Donors Helped Us Meet the Challenges
No annual report would be complete without a resounding
“thank you” to the generous donors – both individuals and
foundations – who share our commitment to Jewish Community
Centers. They understand the importance of our programs and
services, which help JCCs serve their local communities with
excellence. They share our passionate dedication to meeting
the religious and morale needs of Jewish military personnel
through our JWB Jewish Chaplains Council. More than 2,100
generous donors supported both the JCC Association annual
fund and JWB operating funds in 2010. Thank you to all. We
especially thank the Crown Family for its generous support of
JWB operations.
We could not possibly meet the challenges outlined in
this report without significant assistance from visionary
foundations. Programs developed through the Mandel
Supporting Foundation’s ongoing support of the Mandel
Center for Jewish Education enables us to enhance a
vibrant Jewish atmosphere at JCCs and JCC camps.
The AVI CHAI Foundation continues to be a source of
sustenance and encouragement as our programs deepen
Jewish life at JCC camps, and the Goodman Family
Foundation helped us meet the challenge of strengthening
the Jewish identities and connections to Israel of
thousands of youngsters and teens. A grant from the
Harold Grinspoon Foundation helped us undertake the first
comprehensive study of JCC day camps, which is leading
to new and important developments in Jewish training and
programming. The Soref-Breslauer Texas Foundation,
Feldman Family Supporting Foundation, Redwoods Group
Foundation, the Segal Family and Corporate Sponsor Coca-
Cola NA support our best-known teen Jewish identity-
building programs, the JCC Maccabi Games® and JCC
Maccabi ArtsFest®.
The Mandel Center for Excellence in Leadership and
Management, also supported by the Mandel Supporting
Foundations, is meeting the challenge of attracting, developing
and retaining the staff and volunteer leaders of tomorrow,
within its larger mission of constantly helping JCCs improve
their operations and business practices.
The work of our early childhood services department, and
its values-education curriculum An Ethical Start®, was
strengthened by a continuing grant from the Brill Family
Foundation. With support from the foundation, our department
of early childhood services is bringing extraordinary
programming and training to JCC preschools and to families
with young children.
Generous grants from Jerri-Ann and Gary Jacobs, Paula L.
Sidman, and Mandel Supporting Foundations allowed us to
undertake special projects, enhancing our operations and the
services we provide to JCCs.
We offer special thanks to all of our donors, whose vision
and commitment to the work we do truly helps us meet
the challenges facing the Jewish community, and allows
JCC Association to continue to effectively lead the JCC
Movement in North America.

JCC Association Endowment and Capital Funds
Launched in the fall of 2005, the Meeting the Challenge: SECURING JEWISH FUTURES campaign is making it possible for JCC Association to
achieve a tripartite goal:

• Creating and endowing the new Merrin Center for Teen Services, to benefit both Jewish teens throughout North America and the
professionals in JCCs who work with them;
• Enhancing the JCC Association general endowment, to enable us to meet the rising costs of our current initiatives, maintain the quality
of our signature programs, and to respond flexibly to new JCC needs as they arise; and
• Meeting the capital expenses of our relocation to offices at 520 Eighth Ave, necessitated by the changing real estate market in New
York. Our new headquarters are providing a fiscally responsible, cost efficient, technologically sophisticated home with room for growth
in the years ahead.

We thank the donors whose commitment and generosity have helped us pass the two-thirds mark of our $12,000,000 goal for this
campaign*. Their contributions will enable us to continue to help JCCs, YM-YWHA’s and JCC Movement camps provide programs of
excellence and inspire Jewish Journeys for the more than 2,000,000 members and participants who use their services every year.

The National Federation/Agency Alliance is a partnership that provides

a significant amount of funding to nine national agencies including
$1,226,500 to JCC Association of North America in FY 2010/2011. The
national agencies that make up the Alliance engage in critical work to build
capacity and support the work of the federations and their local affiliates. They also help advance the
federation system’s goals on a national and international stage. While mindful of its role in evaluating
and monitoring the national agencies, the Alliance works to promote deeper relationships and create
synergy between the national agencies and the federations.
