We invite all Sisterhood Members to share your memories of this past year on our online poster board by the end of this month. We weathered the year together and we'd love to hear from you! It's fun to read posts as we all had different activities that we found meaningful. 

Sharing Our Lives

Are you celebrating a special birthday, anniversary, or lifecycle occasion? Let the Rabbis know. Receive a special blessing during services in honor of a significant moment in your life. Share your simcha in our Shofar newsletter.
