Photos from the JCC's Garden
 The JCC has established an aquaponic garden in the field area behind the pool. In an aquaponic garden, fish live below, plants live above. We picked the first fruit from the garden on May 19th -- a strawberry. Here's a photo of JCC staff members Jason Goldstein and Rabbi James Greene picking the momentous fruit. Rabbi James asked us to share the blessing for strawberries with you:
 Barukh atah Adonai Eloheinu Melekh ha'olam, bo're p'ri ha'adama. Blessed are you, Lord our God, who brings fruit from the earth.

Kid Fun
How Day Camp Can Benefit Your Child
 Check out this article from the American Camp Association about the benefits of traditional day camps like APJCC Summer Camp...
To learn more about APJCC Summer Camp, and to sign up, visit our camp website: www.SiliconValleyJCC.org/campPhotos from the APJCC Preschool's Visit to "Israel"    On Israel Independence Day in May, the children of the APJCC Preschool took an imaginary trip trip to Israel. They boarded an El Al flight and landed near Tel Aviv. On their journey, they fished in Elat, dug for artifacts in Cesarea, rode camels in the desert, milked a cow on a kibbutz and danced at the Western Wall. Then they took a return flight and were back at preschool in time for snack. Magical! The preschool is now accepting applications for the 2013-14 school year. If you would more information or to schedule a tour please call 408.357.7417 or email [email protected].  Saturday, June 1st at 8:00pmFree performance in the APJCC Auditorium. The Tzofim Friendship Caravan is a delegation of ten teenagers from Israel traveling across North America bringing Israeli culture, music and dance, as well as a message of peace. Our local Tzofim (Israel Scouts) chapter, which meets at the JCC each weekend, has arranged for this performance in order to say thank you to the JCC members for having them here. For more information contact Jason Goldstein, [email protected] or 408.357.7497.
