JEWISH LIFE
WINTER 2011
MESSAGE
FROM
RABBI
DONNI C.
AARON
I have officially
been part of the
JCC family for three
months now and
when I am asked how my experience
has been, I can say that the welcome I
felt on the first day is the welcome I
feel every day I walk into this building.
I am commonly asked by members,
“What does it mean to be a rabbi and
Jewish educator for the JCC?” I tell
people that I am here to help create a
Jewish learning environment for all
Jews in the community. People see
the JCC as their Jewish community
and I want to make sure that every
Jew feels as welcome as I do on a
daily basis. I want to open the doors
wider and welcome everyone in the
entire Jewish community into
Abraham and Sarah’s tent. This means
working with all of the departments
here, as well as creating opportunities
for our interfaith families, programs
especially geared for women as well
as members in their 20s and 30s and
our LGBT community.
Please look for new programs coming
out over the next few months and if
REGISTER ONLINE AT JCCPGH.ORG
you have any questions or ideas for
programming that you would like to
share with me, I can be reached here
at the JCC at daaron@jccpgh.org or at
412-521-8011, ext. 215.
Shalom,
Rabbi Donni C. Aaron
JCC Jewish Educator
Rabbi Aaron has worked in Jewish edu-
cation for more than 20 years. She was
ordained at the Cincinnati campus of
Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute
of Religion and has an undergraduate
degree in social work. She and her hus-
band, Rabbi Scott Aaron, Community
Scholar for the Agency for Jewish Learn-
ing, have three children: Meitav, Nitzan
and Naor.
4 January 14, from 5-7:30 pm
Jewish values guide and enrich the JCC.
Underlying the JCC’s vitality are core
Jewish tenets transcending generations,
epitomized by the story of Abraham and
Sarah’s tent. In the story, Abraham so
values welcoming guests that he
interrupts G-d to greet three strangers,
invite them in and offer refreshment.
The JCC strives to build a culture that
incorporates this Biblical philosophy,
welcoming each person entering our
facilities. Focused on what transpires
every day inside our “tent,” the JCC
aspires to be a center of learning, joy,
growth and respect for diversity
regardless of how or whether one
worships.
HOLIDAYS AND
CELEBRATIONS
Shabbat
Shabbat is observed from sundown
Friday until the appearance of three stars
in the sky on Saturday night. Shabbat is
primarily a day of rest and spiritual
enrichment, a time to set aside our
concerns and devote ourselves to higher
pursuits. To sanctify the Sabbath, we say
a blessing over wine and eat a special
braided egg bread, challah.
Shabbat is welcomed every Friday with
celebrations by the Early Childhood
Development Center, Clubhouse and
AgeWell’s Independent Adult Services
Department.
See page 9 for information about Got
Shabbat on Saturday, February 12, at
4 pm and our Family Shabbat Dinner on
Friday, March 11, at 5:45 pm.
Tu B’Shevat
Thursday, January 20
Tu B’shevat (15th day of Shevat) is the
New Year of the tree, marking the start
of spring in Israel. School children there
plant thousands of saplings. Traditionally
in the Diaspora we eat dried fruit
symbolizing the fruits of Israel.
The holiday is celebrated with special
projects for children and families. See
page 9 for more information about the
Tu B’Shevat Shabbat Festival on Friday,
JEWISH LIFE
Purim
Sunday, March 20
Purim derives its name from the word
“Pur,” meaning lot. It recalls the lots that
Haman, Prime Minister of Persia, cast to
determine the most favorable month
and day for the execution of the Jews of
Persia. This diabolical scheme was foiled
by the intervention of the Persian queen,
Esther, and her uncle, Mordecai, who
were both Jewish. Purim is a festival of
joy, and young and old dress up in cos-
tumes to celebrate.
The JCC holds a carnival every year, the
Sandy and Edgar Snyder Family Purim
Carnival. This year’s event will be held on
Sunday, March 20. See p. 15 for details.

IKCs (nickname for the Irene Kaufmann Center, the predecessor to
the JCC) from the late 1960s to the early 1970s.
This shindig will be the grooviest scene ever, with a DJ spinning
tunes, far-out food, mellow coffee house, and a (shhhh…) silent
auction. Music lovers can get down at a late-night Woodstock-style
jam band concert.
Big Night raises a large portion of the JCC’s Annual Fund for
scholarships and to support critical programming such as child and
after-school care, special needs and older adult programs.
Corporate and individual sponsorships for Big Night, as well as the
goodwill produced by the event, are vital to year-round support.

REGISTER ONLINE AT JCCPGH.ORG
Opening Reception:
Sunday, March 13 • 1-3 PM
Reception sponsored by Miriam and Jim Lieb
A Painter’s Legacy is an expansive exhibit
comprised of the rich and diverse work
of individual artists taught and
influenced by Samuel Rosenberg. A
professor at Carnegie Mellon University
(formerly Carnegie Institute of
Technology) for 40 years and at the
Young Men & Women’s Hebrew
Association for 39 years, Rosenberg is
credited with directly influencing four
successive generations of artists. The
exhibit underscores his students’ artistic
achievements that, combined, span
more than half a century and reflect the
major art movements of the latter half
of the 20th century.
34
The artists included in A Painter’s Legacy
represent a wide spectrum of media in-
cluding painting, printmaking, drawing,
watercolor, collage and sculpture. Many
of his students have had prolific artistic
careers and have exhibited extensively,
creating an exceptional opportunity to
contemplate the extent of Rosenberg’s
influences and to analyze stylistic,
methodological and conceptual
connections among the work.
An exhibition catalog will be available in
April 2011.
Funding for this project comes from an anonymous
contribution and individual support.
Support for the American Jewish Museum is
provided by the Allegheny Regional Asset District,
the Anna L. Caplan & Irene V. Caplan Philanthropic
Fund of the Jewish Federation of Greater
Pittsburgh Foundation and Pennsylvania Partners
in the Arts. Media sponsorship is provided by
