OUR SISTERHOOD
This month's message from Sisterhood's President.
The Rodfei Zedek Sisterhood has been a major participant in our congregational life since the very beginning. One of the earliest chapters of The Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, our Sisterhood has been providing women with tools to live modern Jewish lives since 1906. Our programs provide an important portion of the educational, charitable, and social life of the synagogue.
In May 2008, the re-born Jewish state of Israel will celebrate its 60th anniversary in our ancient homeland. The Conservative Movement of Judaism will be sponsoring programs throughout the year to celebrate this rebirth and its significance to us as modern American Jews. Our Sisterhood at Rodfei Zedek has planned the full year’s programming around this theme. All interested women, men, and children are invited to all Sisterhood monthly meetings. See our 5768 schedule of programs, and look for updates and additions to these Open Meetings in the Bulletin and online.
Our 2007-08 program will culminate with the annual Dawn Rubin Torah Institute and our closing luncheon on June 2. This year's Institute topic will be “The Promise of the Land.”
Judith Phillips-Balter's Shabbat lecture series explored "Radical Ideas Hidden in a Racy Helenistic Jewish Novel."
We have two robust book groups—one Monday mornings and one Tuesday evenings— both of which welcome new readers.
This year Sisterhood again supported the Congregation’s Second Seder on Sunday, April 20, and is continuing to subsidize Shabbat and holiday meals as well so that there is no charge for children of the Congregation to attend.
These enhancements of synagogue life are made possible by your purchases at Sisterhood’s bountifully stocked Nelson Judaica and Gift Shop. When you support the Sisterhood, you support our Congregational life.
