"People often say it's the most beautiful JCC they've ever seen," says Debra Morris, public relations director, whose schedule has been hec- tic ever since the JCC opened last April. First, visitors look around the expansive campus — for that's what the grounds here are called — with its modern architecture and directional signs in both English and Hebrew. They visit the outdoor Holocaust pavilion with its large and graphic photos, and the Cypress Preserve, an area of trees which has been designated a natural preserve by the state of Florida. After admiring the campus, visitors still have much to see inside the various buildings. One building is devoted to cultural arts. In the Rosen Art Gallery, there are chang- ing art exhibits as well as per- manent artworks, including two oil paintings by Zero Mostel, whose work was displayed in a special exhibit. Zinman Hall, also in this building, is a 500-seat modern theater which is the site of cultural events. The Boca Raton and Miami City ballet companies have performed here; so have jazz artists and musical groups. "We're bringing to Boca Raton something they've never had before, a center for cultural life," says Ms. Morris. It's also a center for recrea- tion. A teen lounge is equip- ped with pool tables, games, TV sets and VCRs; a senior adult lounge has activities and serves hot meals; and there are a pre-school and a summer camp on the campus, attended last year by 800 youngsters.

Also on the campus, of course, is a sports, health and fitness center, the most modern in all of Palm Beach County.

Over 15,000 members use these facilities. Membership has quadrupled since the "Our goal is to become the focal point for Jewish life here." Debra Morris opening, says Ms. Morris. "We are packed from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m.," she says. By now she's accustomed to becoming an unofficial tour guide for the visitors and groups who come to see this JCC; she even gave hard hat tours when the center was be- ing built. But the main goal of this JCC is to serve the residents of the area. The Jewish population of Boca Raton and nearby Delray Beach is 55,000. "Our goal is to become the focal point for Jewish life here," says Ms. Morris. Jewish travelers to Boca Raton, which is north of Miami and not far from Palm Beach, will find other attrac- tions of Jewish interest besides the JCC, including nine different synagogues in the area. In a town that has an im- pressive array of boutiques and shops, there are two stores of special interest to Jewish shoppers. Ahava is located in Mizener Park, a
