JCC Children’s Theatre is now JCC YOUTH Theatre!

Cathy Gardner | November 19, 2019

JCC Children’s Theatre, a program open to kids in 3rd through 12th grade, is now named JCC Youth Theatre. The decision was made following some very exciting and substantial changes to the theatre program over the last few years. In 2016, the theatre program was expanded from 3rd through 8th grade to include kids in 2nd through 12th grades. Then in 2017, the program was restricted to 3rd through 12th graders when it became apparent that the demands of the theatre program were too much for some of the younger kids. With the expansion of the age ranges and the overall growth of the program, there is now a wide age-range of kids taking part in this amazing theatre experience. We feel that the name “JCC Youth Theatre” more accurately reflects the scope of our program.

Cathy Gardner

Since October 7th, figuring out how we, as Jews, feel about the global Jewish community and the rise in antisemitism here in the United States has been increasingly difficult to articulate. It is important that the Jewish community’s concerns regarding antisemitism be shared not just within our own community, but also with the community-at-large. Last Sunday, the Dayton Daily News published opinion pieces from three Jewish community leaders ~ Jeff Blumer (Jewish Community Relations Council Director), Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz (Senior Rabbi at Temple Israel) and Rabbi Judy Chessin (Senior Rabbi at Temple Beth Or) ~ each brilliantly capturing their views...

Eighty Years Later

As we prepare to remember and honor those who perished and survived during the Holocaust, we must not forget the stories of the Liberators. At this Sunday’s Yom Hashoah Observance, we will hear from Elaine Buckler, who will share the story of her father, Paul Buckler, who participated in the liberation of Dachau Concentration Camp on April 29, 1945. I was fortunate enough to hear another liberator’s story earlier this week, when I attended the 45th Annual Governor’s Holocaust Commemoration. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine shared the story of his father, who participated in the liberation of Dachau as part of...
