SISTERHOOD Jackie Zelkowitz
It is hard to believe that we are already at the beginning of November, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Sisterhood has so many things to be thankful for. First and foremost, Sisterhood is thankful for the generous, thoughtful and hardworking members who work throughout the year to make Congregation Beth Shalom a little bit better with each thing they do, no matter how large or how small. We are thankful for the guidance and friendship of the clergy who are here for us 24/7. We are thankful for the dedication and hard work of the CBS staff.
We are thankful for each of our Sisterhood officers, committee members, volunteers and our members. We are thankful for their dedication, creativity and friendship. We are thankful that our first programs of the year have been successful. It was wonderful to see so many of our members – both in-person and through Zoom at the Sisterhood Opening Luncheon. It was so nice to see some new faces as well! Thanks to our wonderful speaker, Susan Abrams, Chief Executive Officer of the Illinois Holocaust Museum. Thank you to Debbie Hamilton and Sally Blitt, as well as their committee for their very hard work setting up this excellent program for us. Thank you to Robyn Rosengard and Stacy Gordon who coordinated with their counterparts in the Men’s Club for putting together the Interactive Trivia Game Show Night. Of course, thank you to Men’s Club, as well for planning this wonderful event with us. Finally, let me remind you of two of our upcoming events. On Wednesday, November 3rd, we will host Jewish Book Month Author, Fern Schumer Chapman. Fern Chapman is a Chicago- based writer who has written several awardwinning books. Judy Levin will serve as a discussion facilitator for the night. We are excited to announce that our Holiday Boutique is back in-person on CBS Sisterhood Sunday, November 7th. L’Shana Tova Greetings Thank you in advance to Leatte Gelfeld and Robyn Rosengard who have been working very hard bringing in a lot of amazing vendors. We hope that you will come out and get your holiday shopping done and support these vendors. Masks and social distancing will be required at the Boutique. As Thanksgiving approaches, there are so many things we are grateful for. Please join us and reap the benefits of membership in our award winning Sisterhood.
