Words from our President

By Jill Goldstein, Sisterhood President 2023-2025

Dear Sisterhood Members,
 
The year 5784 flew by all too quickly.  During that year, our Sisterhood accomplished so much that I thought it very important that we acknowledge some of our accomplishments.  For example, over 200 members renewed their membership with our chapter (now officially called an “affiliate”).  Thank you to Rita Brown, Sally Gordon and Beverly Levine.  Did you know that the Beth Shalom Sisterhood is 104 years old?  We received a certificate congratulating us on that accomplishment at our Regional Conference in San Antonio along with a certificate recognizing our fulfillment of our Torah Fund Goal.  Thank you Berenice Haberman and Milisa Flekier.
 
In addition, we contributed many blankets to families in need through Synergy—thank you Warm Up America knitters as well as hundreds of disposable diapers to Happy Bottoms.  Thank you Susan Krigel and Naomi Silverman.  I also want to thank Carol Peltzie and Stephanie Kavanaugh for co-Chairing Bams for Mams which raised money for Breast Cancer Research.  
 
We held programs for multi-generational families including challah making, cookie decorating and flower arranging.  Thank you Danielle Antes.  And, we had a beautiful Women’s Seder—thank you Audrey Asher and Alisa Meireis.​    Our year-long  Peltzman study took us into the desert with Jacob and angels whispered into our ears thanks to Leah Haller and Hazzan Ben-Yehuda.  
 
These were just a few of our projects and the VP’s or Chairs that planned them.  And now, we look to the future—5785.   What do we want you to look forward to?  Well, keep reading our monthly newsletter (thank you Cathy Newman) and mark your calendars with the dates.  AND, if you would like to get more involved, contact me at jgoldstein0127@gmail.com.  Do I have a job for you?  YES, I do.
Wishing you all a g’mar tov (an easy fast) and a healthy and happy 5785.
 
Jill Goldstein, President
