Women of Reform Judaism News

Our 150th Anniversary is front and center as we take joy in celebrating our community.  We gather with old friends and new, and give thanks for all that Congregation B’nai Israel is and does and means to us.  Women of Reform Judaism is proud of our role here over the 150 years.  Members have spoken to me of responsibilities in the religious school, in the kitchen, and in leadership.  There have been fashion shows, and fund raisers.  This time of celebration is also a time of looking forward. 

How do you see your Sisterhood functioning in the upcoming years?  What should be our top priority?  When was the last time you spent time with a group of people you immediately felt comfortable with, and looked forward to getting together again?  After a very busy, and very successful year, these will be the topics of conversation, as we look to the 151st year of Congregation B’nai Israel, and our Sisterhood chapter.  Our planning meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 2 at 7:00 p.m.  Your thoughts, your voice, and your friendship are all welcome!  See you there.
