A MESSAGE FROM SISTERHOOD

Greetings! My, has the summer flown by! I hope you were able to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, recharge and connect with family and friends.

I would like to introduce myself as the new President of the Beth El Sisterhood.

Despite the limitations placed on us the past couple of years by the pandemic, Sisterhood was able to deliver a full schedule of virtual programs for all members of Beth El, under the leadership of our outgoing President Sandy Gruenberg, and our creative Program Committee.

This year, we plan to deliver in-person, engaging programs and virtual ones when appropriate.

I want to emphasize that Sisterhood’s mission is to enrich the lives of Beth El women and their families through Jewish-themed experiences, educational programs and community social action.

We are committed to supporting Beth El and the greater Beth El community through our fundraising efforts.

Here are just a few examples. Sisterhood:

• provides financial support to the synagogue with an annual gift • runs the Baum Judaica gift shop • funds youth and adult education programs • contributes to the Green Team initiative • delivers shiva meals to bereaved families • supports the HOPE soup kitchen

I hope you will join us.

Marcia Assor Sisterhood President
