JCC at the “South Hills 7th Night
Chanukah Celebration!”
Free and open to the entire community,
the annual Chanukah celebration includes
a holiday-themed dinner—featuring
traditional latkes (potato pancakes), jelly
donuts, and more—a live DJ, dreidel
tournament, inflatables, swimming, and
special surprises throughout the night!
The festivities kick off with Havdalah
(a brief ceremony marking the end
of Shabbat), the lighting of the 7th
candle on the menorah, and singing
Chanukah songs.
This celebration is presented by South
Hills Jewish Pittsburgh in partnership
with Beth El Congregation, Temple
Emanuel of the South Hills, JCC of
Greater Pittsburgh, Congregation Ahavath
Achim (The Carnegie Shul), PJ Library,
and the Jewish Federation of Greater
Pittsburgh.
While the event is free and open
to the entire South Hills community,

WESTERN
PENNSYLVANIA
DATA CENTER AND
ALLEGHENY LAND
TRUST COLLABORATE
TO BUILD
REGIONAL TOOL
Allegheny Land Trust and the Western
Pennsylvania Regional Data Center have
just launched Urban Greenprint, an
interactive online regional mapping tool
that will guide urban greening priorities.
Urban Greenprint features a number
of land use data sets from public-sector,
nonprofit and private organizations and
makes them available for public use at
tools.wprdc.org/urban-greenprint.
“The tool is an intersectional analysis
of the status of all Pittsburgh-area
land parcels that is equally accessible
to all organizations and individuals,”
ALT Community Conservation
Director Alyson Fearon said. “It offers
opportunities for public engagement
and self-education that we hope
empowers residents working on land use
challenges to take action in protecting
their community green spaces.”
Users of Urban Greenprint can view
environmental data on a map and interact
with regularly updated information
about properties in Allegheny County. It
is powered by the regional data sharing
infrastructure provided by the WPRDC.
In addition to developing and hosting the
tool, data featured in Urban Greenprint
is also available as open data on the
WPRDC’s website.
ALT hopes Urban Greenprint
empowers residents to make
their communities more resilient by
addressing apparent opportunities to
affect community and environmental
issues including recreation opportunity,
neighborhood revitalization, urban green
space preservation, urban gardening/
farming, and remediation of issues like
flooding, combined sewer overflow,
landslides and air quality. This map helps
to outline where opportunities to preserve
environmentally sensitive and important
properties are greatest.
Some ways individuals could make
use of this data are by utilizing it to reach
out to individuals whose properties are
suitable for use as green infrastructure,
to identify opportunities to turn
vacant land into community gardens
or other neighborhood assets, or spark
a discussion about risks in developing
flood- or landslide-prone properties.
