Throwback teacher entertains kids
For five years, I’ve driven by the Beachwood Community Center on Fairmount Boulevard and admired its sleek, modern look. Everything about it oozes 21st century. Built in 2006, it’s now home to all kinds of community activities from aerobics to art classes to dance and ballet. I enrolled my daughter, Julia, in a Movin’ Together class there for the first time this summer. The class description promised “a movement potpourri … with costumes and props, hula hoops, balls and more.” Kids 18 months to 5 years old were welcome. I expected a young teacher with her iPod Touch, playing current music, just as we had experienced in Julia’s earlier class there. Instead, we met Helen Berman, a wonderful throwback who defied the modern amenities that …

Twice a week, mah jongg enthusiasts gather at Beachwood Community Center
Some folks play bridge. Others play dominoes. But the game is mah jongg for the ladies who come to the Beachwood Community Center from 12:30 to 4 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. Mah jongg originated in China, true. But like any immigrant, it changed when it came to America. When the game was brought to this country in 1920, it was embraced by the Jewish community, according to the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York. The Museum mounted "Project Mah Jongg," an exhibit that explores the history and meaning of the game. The exhibit will be installed at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage starting Jan. 24, 2012. By then, the regulars who gather at the Beachwood Community Center will have played thousands of hands – and triumphantly cried "…
