Shabbat Shalom! ✡️ Ma Nishma? Sharing the JOY: In Parshat Noach, we meet a man tasked with an enormous responsibility: building an ark to preserve life through the flood. Noah follows God’s instructions, gathers his family and the animals, and creates the conditions for life to begin again. It is an extraordinary undertaking. And yet, the story leaves us with an interesting question. Noah focuses on the people and creatures aboard the ark, but we don’t hear much about his relationship with the world beyond it. Could his story of preservation also be a story about what it means to be responsible for one another? Caring for ourselves and those closest to us is essential, but Jewish tradition also encourages us to look beyond our immediate circles and consider how we can build bridges and uplift others. At the Tucson J, we may not be building an ark, but we are building something important: a community rooted in connection, compassion, and a shared commitment to one another.

This week at the J, we built that kind of community in a variety of ways! Over the weekend, the Stingrays Swim Team continued their fall racing season this past weekend at the Teddy Bear Picnic swim meet! We brought 29 swimmers to the Aquabear Swim Club for a fun day of racing, with nearly two-thirds of our swims resulting in new personal bests🥇 ! Beyond the times, our swimmers continued to show the energy and team spirit that have defined the start of our season. Stingrays supported one another throughout the meet, competed hard from start to finish, and took another step forward after a strong opening performance at the FAST Patriot Meet. This Sunday, the team will head to the University of Arizona for the Los Gatos Showdown—join us in wishing them the best of luck!

Despite the rain on Sunday, we had an incredible turnout for our redesigned Racquet Sports Social 🎾 "Rallies + Refreshments" on Sunday. The event was an opportunity to meet our new Director of Racquet Sports, Greg Cooke, and our talented team of pros, learn about a number of exciting program changes, and enjoy refreshments and a nosh—our CEO + President, Todd Rockoff, even grabbed a racquet!

Only one more week until our annual SCULPT event and reception, featuring inspiring art, live music, and a delicious charcuterie board for noshing on Sunday, October 18, from 4-6pm at the Tucson J. 🧑‍🎨

Sculpt is our free annual celebration of sculpture at the Tucson J that serves as both the reception for an indoor sculpture exhibition and a welcome to newly installed works in the Jill Rosenzweig Memorial Sculpture Garden. 👏

This year's theme is Making Space, inspired by the idea that meaningful spaces don't just pop into existence but are built with intentionality. In Jewish tradition, the Mishkan (portable sanctuary) was built collectively, with each person contributing what they could to create a space for presence and connection.

Snacks will be curated by , and featured musicians include and .

For the evening, the garden becomes a space of exploration and connection. You can stay for ten minutes or two hours, whatever your pace may be, and become part of what makes our collective mishkan here, in our Sonoran desert. 🏜️

Shabbat Shalom! 🔯 Ma Nishma? Sharing the JOY of the J: As we begin a new Torah cycle, the creation story invites us to consider how we can bring more goodness into the world—not only through what we do, but through the communities we build and the stories we share together🤝 . At the Tucson J, we see this as an ongoing part of our work: creating a place where people come together across generations, backgrounds, and experiences to find connection, purpose, and belonging.

We began our week here at the J with a beautiful gathering in celebration of the generous contributions our Stars of Giving and Patrons of the Arts societies make to our community. Stars and Patrons joined us in the Jewish Heritage Center for delicious food and a special performance by Israeli classical singer🎶 and sopranist Mayaan Licht accompanied by pianist Russell Ronnenbaum.

Continuing with their job exploration and skills training📈 , students in the first cohort of our recently launched Pathways to Employment program learned about the "Elements of Self-Determination" with instructors Diana and Natalia. We are proud of the growth in our Disability Program Services department and grateful for the opportunity to serve our community in unique and important ways.

Fall sports 🏐 are in full swing and community members have been enjoying cooler temperatures on the tennis and pickleball courts, Men's Basketball and Co-ed Volleyball leagues, a variety of PeeWee sports offerings, youth Basketball and Volleyball clinics, Stingrays Swim Team and Masters Swim, and so much more!

All week long we have enjoyed an incredible display of artwork🎨 made by the kids in our JCare afterschool program. Art instructor Lee, curated the show with a variety of works created during the first quarter of the school year—be on the lookout for more shows throughout the year!

And last but certainly not least, on Wednesday, over 350 community members, including a number of local dignitaries and clergy, gathered to commemorate the third anniversary of October 7, a day that feels like both yesterday and a lifetime ago—but has forever changed history💔 .
