As the new President of the Beth Shalom Sisterhood, I am really excited about the coming year. We have an exceptional board and many dedicated and talented chairwomen, and together we will have a year filled with stimulating programs. I urge every woman who is not yet a member of Sisterhood to please join us.
Our motto this year will be “Sisterhood is the heart of the synagogue and every synagogue woman...a Sisterhood member”. Where else can you embrace the many faces of Jewish womanhood?
Bloom with Sisterhood and help us grow. Live and learn….join Sisterhood.
On Sunday, August 22, our Sisterhood will host the Northern Region of Women’s League at a regional
cluster meeting. Members of other sisterhoods will come from Orlando, Gainesville, and other areas of North Florida for a day of discussion, sharing, and networking. I would encourage as many of our members as possible to attend this worthwhile event. There will be further information about this
day shortly.

I wish everyone a healthy summer and if you are travelling somewhere on vacation….be safe!
Mimi Kaufman

SISTERHOOD ACTIVITIES
Sisterhood programs are open to all women over the age of Bat Mitzvah. We have a wonderful schedule of programs planned this year. Please watch for a printed schedule in the near future.
If you happen to be a new congre-gant, your Sisterhood dues are free for the first year. Please join us for fun as well as educational activities. We‘d love to see you. If you are interested in joining one of our committees, just give me a call.

We meet the 4th Tuesday each month at 7pm, just following the 6:30pm Minyan. If you can come to Minyan, you will be doing a real Mitzvah. Congregants that need to say Kaddish depend on the Minyan, and greatly appreciate your participation. Come to our meetings. Nothing is required except your smiling face. We have room for everyone.
