Meet Tennis Camp Counselor Cole
What Cole M. likes best about being a camp counselor
is the smiles on the kids’ faces. “If they’re having fun,
they’ll be more likely to listen. And learn,” he said.
Cole wanted to give back and provide the positive
experiences to kids that he had when he was a camper here (he’s been part
of the J community since he was 5 years old). “I think leadership by example
is one of the most important skills for a counselor. If the kids see you do it,
they’ll want to do it. You have to be a role model because their eyes are on Tennis camp counselor Cole
you every second.” He also understands the importance of connecting with is back for his third summer
kids individually and looks forward to talking Star Wars with fellow fans!

Early Childhood Education
Jewish Value of the Month
Each month, the J's Early Childhood Education (ECE) program focuses on a different Jewish value to incorporate
into classroom lesson plans and share with families.
March's value: Shmirat HaGuf (Care of the Body)
This Jewish value was put into practice through exercise, eating healthy and of course, plenty of hand washing.
• The North Wing Ones classroom celebrated being able to swim in the Backer Therapy Pool again!
• Classroom materials like play food allow children to explore healthy food options.
Swimming is an excellent activity to Ray created his own Passover seder plate

BBYO (the leading pluralistic teen
movement aspiring to involve more
Jewish teens in more meaningful Jewish
experiences, housed at the J) is winding
down for the school year and will resume
in August.
To all of this year’s seniors: Thank you
for all of your enthusiasm, adaptability
and energy, and best of luck in all of your
future endeavours!

PROGRAMS
Arts & Education
May’s events include a Mexican Jewish musician, an Instant Pot cooking
demo and a U.S. Senator:
• An Evening with Las Palabras (Rafael Cohen) — performance and Q&A
In partnership with Arte Mexicano En Indiana
Las Palabras is nine joyful snapshots about simple pleasures sung
entirely in Cohen’s first language, Spanish (he moved to the U.S. at age
10, so his Spanish is still at a fourth-grade level). Musically, Las Palabras
evokes the records Cohen’s parents listened to while he was growing
up: Mexican guitar standards, the acoustic soul of Bill Withers and
classic Caetano Veloso and Jorge Ben.
Tue, May 11 | 8 pm | FREE
• Cooking demo with Paula Shoyer, author of The Instant Pot® Kosher
Cookbook — blintzes and cheesecake for Shavuot, the holiday
commemorating the giving of the Torah!
