A Lifetime Dedicated to Community

By Addie Goodman

Remember and Honoring Two Extraordinary Women On the evening of Rosh Hashanah, we heard the news that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg had passed away. There have been many who connect the timing of her death to righteousness, becoming a tzadikka and bestowing justice in our world. While scholars may not be unified on […] Learn More ›

Your Compass Has Been There: Thoughts about Leadership and Friendship

By Addie Goodman

A friend texted me over the weekend, “I am sure you are ridiculously crazy but I just wanted to say I’m thinking about you. Pretty sure ‘Pandemic Management’ wasn’t in your JCC CEO job description initially.” Immersed with my “Quarenteam” (coined by our Chief Experience Officer’s clever son), it is clear that this is the only work […] Learn More ›

Doing the Work

By Addie Goodman

The Unifying Power of Sports and the Undeniable Divide

By Addie Goodman

Though I never believed it would happen, I have become a die-hard sports fan. I watch football, baseball and golf (yes, even golf on TV I find thrilling!). I followed March Madness for the first time last year and checked the standings regularly. I cheer wildly in my orange and blue t-shirt with my kid’s […] Learn More ›

The Magic of Kindness

By Addie Goodman

We’ve been talking a lot about inclusion. I’ve touted grants received to support accessibility and recognition of our staff leading the field. But it wasn’t until this past weekend that I truly understood the impact of what we do every day. Charlie is my youngest of four. And he’s the youngest by far in our […] Learn More ›

Join the Movement

By Addie Goodman

Every Friday morning at 10:30am, children in our early childhood programs, from age six weeks to five years, gather to celebrate the Sabbath. They sing songs, light candles, say Hamotzi, drink grape juice. They joyfully experience the traditions of Shabbat that are engaged in throughout the city and around the world. With summer upon us, […] Learn More ›
