The Sisterhood Year in Review…

This past summer we hosted a wonderful "Summer Tea" to welcome Wendie Cohn to Sisterhood and the Temple family. We also presented to Rabbi Cohn after his first Temple Israel service a framed certificate in appreciation from our Sisterhood.


We continued our commitment to have interesting programs for our members. We had three General Membership Meetings this year. We kicked off the year with a presentation by Rabbi Cohn.  In December, June Turner, N.D. discussed the "Natural Healing Approach". At the April meeting we had Martha Minter, Jenny Woodson and Vicki Haney provide "Lessons from Haiti." All of our general meetings/programs were well attended by our women. Also, our Temple men supported and attended all of these programs.


In October Sisterhood coordinated the Oneg in the Sukkah.


Sisterhood continued the tradition of providing delicious fare for the Rosh Hashanah Reception and the Yom Kippur Break-the-Fast.

Sisterhood provided support for the Hanukkah dinner and the Passover Seder assisting with set up and clean up.

The Tu B'Shevat Seder was held in January in coordination with the Social Action Committee.

In February Sisterhood assisted in the coordination of the Purim Bash. Francine Thalheimer delivered hamantashen to several members who were unable to attend.

The Chinese Auction and Dinner was held in March. Once again, we solicited the help of Alan Fleischmann and David Stem to be the auctioneers.

This has been a great year for Sisterhood. I appreciate all the support shown to our Sisterhood. We have 68 members and encourage all Temple women to join us. Let's make this another 'Year of Sisterhood Involvement."
