As September comes bringing the High Holidays, we mark the end of the month of Elul. It is an accounting of the soul, self-reflection and seeking forgiveness. Women’s League is taking a break from having an event in September so it doesn’t clash with any of the holidays.

 

Also, we don’t want to take away from the big 70th anniversary celebration the temple is sponsoring. We will have our annual paid-up membership event on Nov. 8. Pay your dues and it is free to come! You can pay at the door, but you have to RSVP. We need to know how many people are coming so that we know how MUCH food to get. Judy Robins has taken over the cooking duties. Zev usually sends out a phone tree to remind everyone. Let’s do some self-reflection and make an effort to RSVP for the next event.

 

In the past we have had our kick-off Torah Fund event in September, but it is not going to work that way this year—it will be in December. That doesn’t mean we are not putting loose change in our pushkes or pledging money, so you can receive a pin. The theme this year is Shema Koleinu — Hear Our Voice. It marks 40 years since the first female cantor was invested. If you are donating to Torah Fund, speak to Nelli Bilinkis or Judy Robins.

 

With the High Holy Days coming, I want to ask forgiveness if I have wronged you. Let’s make this a beautiful year together as Sisterhood!

 

See you in shul!
