North American Jewish Community Centers

[RACooper]

I was... back around '98-'01, basically because of the easier access to workout equipment and a fencing program more my speed in comparison to the universities. However I did end up leaving as the Centre's governing board became increasingly "political" and exclusionary - (ie. Jewish only hours or sections of the gym, pamphleting through the mail or of lockers, cancelling of social functions in favour or political speakers or fundraisers). Now that board is gone, and the Centre has gone/is undergoing some massive and much needed renovations, and I would go back... but I live in an entirely different part of town.

All in all I liked the place, and only lament the enviroment that a cliche of people created for a handful of years...
