It is estimated that 85 to 90 percent of Kinder never saw their parents again. The story of the Kindertransport Memory Quilt began in 1988, when Anita Grosz, the daughter of a Kindertransport child, or a Kinder, wished to learn more about her father’s childhood and, at the same time, allow other Kinder the opportunity to share their experiences. Dedication of our new Torah donated by William Langfan. Each of us will have an opportunity to take part in the mitzvah of writing a Torah. 8
Women’s League Events 2009-2010 / 5770 Focus on Jewish Women in the Physical & Social Sciences O u r f i r s t g e n e r a l m e e t i n g o n Wednesday, November 4 at 1:30 p.m. leads us into a year of honoring the medical and social service providers in our community with a focus on science. Barbara Noble of the Scripps Research Institute, in Jupiter, will present an overview of its activities including Barbara Noble advances in Alzheimer’s, cancer and other medical research. Alex Bruner will be on hand to explain the significant grants the government has made to advance research at the institute. Dr. Dana Krumholz is chair of the event. Everyone welcome. The Annual Membership Luncheon on Wednesday, December 9 at 12:30 pm features an amazing woman, Lisa Kogen, Director of Education, Women’s League for Conservative Judaism and author of Strength & Splendor. Her book includes the bios of Jewish women who have made their mark in every field including science. The gala luncheon is a wonderful time to greet friends and meet new members. VP Belle Winston is Membership Chair; Fran Friedman is luncheon chair. Molly Picon is the madcap star of the movie “Yidl mtn Fidl,” shot in 1937 in Poland. It has been carefully restored with English sub-titles. It will be shown Wednesday, January 6 at 1:30 p.m. with an introduction by Dr. Haviva Langenauer. A humorous story with lots of music, “Yidl” is also testimony to the rich communal life Polish Jews enjoyed before the Shoah. “”The Big Do” this year is our Ultimate Garage Sale that is off to a flying start with the donation of three rooms of high-end furniture and the contribution of an air-conditioned storeroom to house it all. The big weekend is March 14 and 15! Chair Robin Bernstein has been holding meetings with volunteers to plan what will be a humungous operation. All temple members can help. Put aside your chachkes, clothing, jewelry, furniture, art work, etc. that you will want to add to the sale. And plan to keep the week before open to help with receiving, pricing, placing and displaying. Those with retail experience especially welcome. This is Women’s League’s major fundraiser for our synagogue. Let’s make it a bonanza. For more details check with Robin (Robin@rbernstein.com). Dear Friends, PRESIDENT MICKEY FELDBERG The Holy days are over - for the moment - and now we have to look forward to the secular celebration of Thanksgiving in November, then Hanukkah in December. In between we look forward to the launch of the Women’s League “season.” November’s general meeting focuses on the important scientific work at The Scripp’s Research Institute right here in our community. On December 9 th we’ll gather in the social hall for the annual Membership Luncheon. As always, it will be a gala event with fabulous food and a special speaker. Aside from a nominal charge for the luncheon, you must be a paid-up member to attend. Spouses are always welcome. Watch for your invitation with full details. At this point I want to remind you why every female member of Temple Emanu-El should be a member of Women’s League. There are myriad opportunities waiting for you to… Connect with other women. Experience stimulating programs and study groups designed to enhance your personal growth, Jewish involvement and sense of community. Develop your intellect, ability and creativity for personal, educational and cultural enrichment. Establish new and lasting relationships by sharing life-cycle events and by networking for social and business contacts. Add your voice and influence public policy concerning the family, synagogue, the Jewish community and Israel. We have an incredible number of long-time members, but new faces and new energy are a necessity if an organization is to grow and prosper. There is so much talent in our community and membership in Women’s League gives each one of us a platform for our knowledge and skills. JOIN US; YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID! Before closing I want to bring to your attention a significant event that will occur at Shabbat services on Dec. 19 th – the eighth day of Hanukkah. Women’s League will present to our synagogue a magnificent needlepoint cover for the Torah podium, created by Rita Chase and lovingly stitched by Rita, Claire Cohen, Faye Sugar, Edith Heilbron and myself. It is another treasure to add to Temple Emanu-El’s collection. B’shalom Mickey Do join us! Arlene Kurtis Vice President, Programming Chair 9
