Not only did we never had an actual coat until I came here. I could have walked have multiple snow days, but the whole city shut down when out of the house with a t-shirt and a jacket and be perfectly the Polar Vortex swept through. For those of us accustomed fine. to Midwest weather, this has just been “one of those” winters. But for the Israeli emissaries who are living in and serving our My first snow here was amazing. I remember it was less than community, they were quite an eye opener. an inch of snow, but I got so excited! Everything looked different… pure. And then it’s been 2 days, and it looked like We asked Keren Weisshaus, Community Shlichah with the mud. Milwaukee Jewish Federation, and May Ben-Shabat & Yogev Toby, this year’s “Shin Shinim” (Sh’nat Sherut - a year of Yes, the winter is hard to get used to, but I love it for some volunteer service before joining the Israeli army) to reflect on reason. how Winter 2019 looked through Israeli eyes. Yogev “Are you ready for winter yet??” is what I was asked many times before arriving in Milwaukee, I really didn’t think much of it. Heard about the snow and the negative degrees but until you really find yourself in it, there is no way to imagine it.

In Israel, winter and fall are a blast! Everything is green, the rivers are flowing and it all looks really alive, but I knew that I am going to experience something else this year in Milwaukee.

We started our year right as fall came and it was nice and chilly, a bit like I remembered it from Israel, and then the weeks passed, and we got our first snow! By that time, I had my jacket, but I completely forgot the cold, all I thought about was how incredible the snow is right as it falls and piles up. Keren Before our first winter in Wisconsin I was really worried how warm-blooded Israelis like us can survive these icy conditions. I saw the degrees go down more and more and it did feel Every story I heard was scarier than the next and it seemed cold. At some point, I just asked myself what is the difference people really enjoyed sharing them with us. So, after we between -5 or -10, it all felt cold in the same way. survived last year’s winter I felt we’ve got this, and winter can actually be fun and exciting (as long as you know how to layer And then the polar vortex came, schools were closed, roads properly). We tried many winter sports and activities for the were blocked, and it felt like something serious hit our area. first time in our lives (Snow tubing definitely my favorite) and Like I mentioned before - it was all cold, but throughout the when winter was approaching again I was actually looking vortex, if I forgot my gloves outside I would instantly regret it, forward to having some fun snowy days. especially thanks to the freezing wind chill.

Well you don’t need me to tell you this winter was a whole But overall, we made it out of the cold safe and healthy. All different story. Even my very active Israeli kids refused to you need is a good jacket, some heat in your house, and the go play in the snow after a while and we are all really ready Wisconsinites to tell you that -20 degrees is “nothing”. for spring to come. I have to remind myself that spring here doesn’t necessarily comes with Pesach and it might take some time until we defrost, but I know that summer in Milwaukee is totally worth the wait. I’m sure that next year we will miss the beautiful soft snow, and my kids will definitely miss having snow days out of school.

May I have lived in a place where winter has some rain and the degrees are above 60. When we first arrived in Milwaukee everyone asked us if we are ready for winter and honestly, we thought, “how bad can it be?”

Well, let me tell you…. Pretty bad!

It’s really cold and not something I’m used to from home.

Celebrating our Educator of the Year By Stacy Synold חינוך

“Make for yourself a teacher, acquire yourself a friend, and judge each person favorably.” - Pirkei Avot Debbie exudes a love for Judaism that radiates to all who know her. She makes every Shabbat and holiday magical whether she’s leading a song, guiding children and families in the practice of traditions, or visiting the dollar store to find the perfect materials for a holiday craft project. For many years at Gan Ami Mequon, Debbie was the songleader for Shabbat Sing and introduced a generation of children to a Dinosaur knocking on their door or inviting them to twist like a challah while they “Listen and Do.” In recent years, she has offered her leadership to create a special afternoon Shabbat sing-a-long for the 3s and 4s of Gan Ami Whitefish Bay.

Anyone who meets Debbie picks up on her unconditional love for her family - her husband, David, of 42 years, her children, Cori and Adam, and her grandchildren Erev, Mattai, Anjali, and Lukah. Through her example, she has modeled good parenting and joyful living for many of the parents that have On March 3, the Milwaukee Jewish Federation’s Coalition for been a part of her classroom over the years.

Debbie began her career teaching kindergarten and preschool She is the person everyone would want as a teacher for their in Chicago before moving back to Milwaukee to teach at the children, and quite honestly, for themselves. Our Jewish JCC when it was located on Prospect Avenue downtown. community is better for her work as an educator to many After taking some time off from teaching so that she and her generations of our young children. Kol Hakavod, Debbie, husband, David, could start their own family, Debbie began and thank you. We offer our love and congratulations on this teaching 4-year olds at what was then called the JCC Early outstanding achievement. Childhood Program housed in the former Congregation Beth El ner Tamid in Mequon. For more than 20 years, Debbie brought her energy, creativity, and consistency into her Gan Ami-Mequon classroom. Five years ago, Debbie joined the team at Gan Ami Early Childhood Education in Whitefish Bay where she now teaches 3-year-olds.

Debbie’s ability to establish year-long classroom routines has offered budding learners a secure base from which to explore new ideas and concepts. She channels her creativity and sense of humor to make every moment an engaging learning opportunity with her trademarks like Mr. Pointer and her magical surprise box. In Debbie’s classroom, Mr. Plus brings mathematical concepts and numeracy to snack time. New spaces are constantly being created to bring learning alive - exploring concepts like polling and democracy by having a voting booth in the classroom, working with her class to build a temple so that the children could act out the Hanukkah story, and inviting the class to explore a different country through an interactive “travel” experience.

With a sibling or friend at their side, the better to ease into camp, JCC Rainbow Day Camp becomes the place where families forget about illnesses and hospitals for a day.

“We believe in partnering to build a healthier Milwaukee, and Dr. Dave and Lenny prove that commitment out every year with Children’s Hospital and Rainbow Camp,” added Shapiro. “Beyond being an exceptional doctor, a lifelong JCC supporter, and a passionate leader in Milwaukee – Dr. Dave is a mensch, a person of integrity and honor. I can’t think of a more deserving person or program to receive this honor, and we thank Donald Driver and his team for his continued recognition of all the leaders making a difference in this community.”

Rainbow Camp is just one aspect of the program’s overarching efforts to make camp accessible for the entire community. Beyond the traditional day camp experience, the JCC Rainbow Day Camp team has created industry-leading programs to The Albert and Ann Deshur JCC Rainbow Day Camp is a place support families with special needs, economic challenges, and of smiles, fresh air, and friendship.

Wisconsin. A former camper and counselor himself, Dr. Dave has been a strong – if quiet – partner in ensuring camp has been available for all. Because of those efforts, and the good work of the JCC Rainbow Day Camp Team, special recognition is being paid to the culture of inclusivity and quality in Fredonia.

Dr. Dave has been named a recipient of the “Driven to Achieve Award” by the Donald Driver Foundation for his leadership in creating “Rainbow Camp” at JCC Rainbow Day Camp. As part of the recognition, JCC Rainbow Day Camp – led by camp director Lenny Kass and a program of the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center – will receive a $40,000 grant to continue and deepen the impact of its program.

“Dr. Dave has been a fierce advocate not just for the kids in his professional care – but for every child throughout the community we’re blessed to serve,” said JCC President & Chief Executive Officer Mark Shapiro. “We’re so very proud of this recognition, and of the work Dr. Dave and Lenny do in our community, but we’re even more proud of the partnerships that empower our JCC Rainbow Day Camp team to provide these children and families the moments of normalcy and joy they deserve.”

At the conclusion of the regular summer camp season JCC Rainbow Day Camp offers a full week program, in partnership with Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, where patients and their siblings or friends attend camp free of charge. Knowing that pediatric patients often are excluded from the normal experiences of childhood, a specialized camp program is built

Roots and Wings: Catching up with Gabe Katz By Jody Hirsh

choreography, and a minor in studio art, Gabe completed his BFA last spring. “I didn’t like New York at first,” he says, “but now I absolutely love my life in New York. I now have real roots here.” The conservatory style training he received has already helped him achieve many of his professional goals.

Upon graduation, he began working as a freelance dancer and choreographer. Gabe has been a busy dance assistant with the Revive Dance Convention, a national touring dance education workshop, which fosters learning and growth among emerging dance artists. With Revive, Gabe has had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the United States.

But the highlight of Gabe’s young career so far, without a doubt, has been his recent role dancing in Paul McCartney’s latest music video for the song “Who Cares.” Gabe was introduced to choreographer and director Ryan Heffington in New York and casually told Heffington that he’d love to work with him if he returns to New York. A couple of weeks later, the choreographer messaged Gabe about the new McCartney Native Milwaukeean Gabe Katz – who appeared in the March project. It was Gabe’s first experience on a commercial set, and 17 Tapestry concert The Times They Are a-Changin’ – has always with such a high-profile production, and it connected him with danced. But he could never have guessed that his love of an agent. It felt like a turning point in his career. dance would lead to meeting one of The Beatles so soon into his career. “I kept finding myself in awe of my surroundings and who I was working with,” Katz says. “These artists of such magnitude and Even as a small child he remembers at gatherings at his home acclaim still had such an admirable work ethic and grace. It was in Fox Point or in other people’s homes “There would always an incredibly surreal experience that I’m very grateful to have be a moment when we cleared space in the living room, and been a part of.” To see Gabe in the McCartney video, search for I’d just . . . dance!” Gabe also participated in many theater “Who Cares – McCartney” on YouTube. productions in his elementary and middle school years. Of course, Gabe is no stranger to performing at the JCC. Tom Weissgerber, who was the drama teacher at the Growing up, he was a part of many performances on the JCC Milwaukee Jewish Day School (MJDS), recognized Gabe’s Ritz Theater stage as well as at community events such as Yom interest in dance and recommended he start taking ballet HaZikaron, but he notes, “this is the first time I’ve performed classes. He was fascinated by contemporary dance at age 8 but in Milwaukee in five years.” Being a part of the latest Tapestry was self-taught. At age 13, he studied hip hop at Danceworks, production allowed him to show the Milwaukee Jewish then continued his training at North Shore Dance Academy community how much he’s grown, and what his training in where he studied ballet, contemporary, jazz, and hip hop. New York has meant. This is clearly just the beginning for this talented dancer, and it was wonderful to have him return to his Milwaukee home to share his talents with us. Gabe continued dancing through his high school years at Nicolet High School. He performed in their production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, singing and dancing. It was then he realized that “theater” was actually less important in his life, and that he preferred to devote himself to dance, although he wasn’t really sure that he would actually study dance in college.
