News from Sisterhood<br />
Chanukkah means dedication, which<br />
represents the Maccabees defeating<br />
the Syrians and rededicating the Temple<br />
with the miracle of finding holy oil that<br />
miraculously lasted for 8 days, despite<br />
having only enough for one day.<br />
Our Sisterhood is a dedicated group of<br />
women and we honored our members at<br />
our Paid up Membership Brunch, along with<br />
honoring Rachel Lerfelt with our special<br />
Eyshet Chayel award. This award is given<br />
annually to a member of our Sisterhood<br />
who goes above and beyond at helping out<br />
at various events and programs.<br />
Our program included a special skit about<br />
Jewish pirates. Thank you to Judie Berger<br />
and Terry Jonas for writing the script and<br />
to our hard-working committee. A special<br />
thanks goes to our Beth Torah Temple<br />
Presidents, Rich Berger and Mike Segal for taking<br />
on the roles of two of the pirates.<br />
Our Chanukkah party, will be graciously hosted<br />
by our own Gisela and Rabbi Rojzman. Instead<br />
of a gift exchange, we have chosen to donate<br />
to Sharsheret by bringing special toys for the<br />
families of the women who are suffering from<br />
breast and ovarian cancer.<br />
On January 20 at 10 am, Sisterhood will be<br />
celebrating with a Tu B’Shevat Seder. This will be<br />
in lieu of our annual Women’s Seder at Passover.<br />
Special Todah Rabah to our Sisters who have<br />
honored us with donations.<br />
