You can help in this effort by making donations to Sisterhood’s Torah Fund or simply purchasing Torah Fund greeting cards. Occasions such as Mazel Tov, Get Well, Rejoicing with You, New Baby, and of course Condolences are all available for $4.00 each. The cards can be purchased at any Sisterhood meeting or event, or they can be mailed to the recipient for you by contacting: Rose - 935-0454, Joyce - 433-4826 or Judi - 433-4099 wish someone you care about a return to good health
ORBIT Page 19 TODAH RABBAH! Many thanks to all the members of PJC, Men’s Club and Sisterhood who supported and participated in Sisterhood’s Shalach Manot project. Our success is due to all of you who supported this. We hope you enjoyed sending and receiving Shalach Manot and participating in this mitzvah. Thanks and kudos also to the tireless efforts of all the Sisterhood women on the Shalach Manot committee who have worked hard on this “labor of love” for months. This is Sisterhood’s largest undertaking each year and it truly takes a “village” to accomplish this – the end result being all the beautiful bags that we all see in the lobby on Purim and get to take home or bring to our friends and family. Special thanks to my core committee- Marilyn Cohen, Sheryl Fischer and Marion Weisfelner. Todah Rabbah to Doreen Guzik, our President, who took over organizing and sending out the College Purim Kits this year. Special thanks to Marilyn Cohen for sending out all the Purim Greeting cards to those who do not live nearby.

On behalf of the Shalach Manot Committee, Bunny Finkelstein, Chairman Sisterhood Special Project - M’yad L’yad by Sharon Kunoff Sisterhood is constantly looking for clothing, staples and cash for our family. Your donations have enabled us to send a small package for of gift cards and goodies for Purim. By the time you receive this we expect to have sent out a larger package for Pesach (depending on your response to our March article which you should have read recently), but we always have room to store items for the next time. You can contact me at skunoff@optonline.net or leave a note in the Sisterhood box at PJC. Thank you for your help and Hag Sameah!!
