We apologize as some of you may have noticed there was no weekly email last week.  We all do our best with our crazy schedules. A wise Rabbi once told me, only God is perfect and we are all supposed to make small mistakes.
 
We want to wish all of you a Happy, healthy, and enjoyable Passover next week with your family and friends.
 
As a reminder, on April 16, we have planned an event about Spirituality at our regular meeting at 7:00pm.  (click here for flyer).  We hope you can all join us for a relaxing and fun evening.  We also hope to announce our 2026-2027 slate of proposed officers at this event.
 
May 2nd (Saturday night at 7:00pm) please join us for “Bunko and Beer”.  (click here for flyer). 
 
We are all sending healing prayers and love to board member Diane Levine for a quick recovery from her surgery. Please contact our Tribute chair, Becky Breuer, if you want to send a tribute card to Diane - or anyone else you are thinking of for well wishes or greetings of any kind.

February has come and gone and the year flies on…

Please join us at our March 19th Passover Food Tasting Competition (click here for flyer).  If you love your recipes, please bring  sample foods for all to taste.  For example- make your favorite soup and bring small cups for some to take a taste.  Do you make a yummy dessert for Passover?  Cut it up into small pieces and let us try it.  Use your imagination and let’s have fun!

Make copies of your recipe to share.  If you want us to copy these for you, email us a copy and we will do this.

Bring friends as this is a great way to introduce Sisterhood to others. 

PLEASE RSVP (see flyer) and let us know if you are bringing anything, so we can plan accordingly. (Of course, last minute walk-ins are always welcome at our events.  However, RSVP’s make our lives easier).
 
Hope to see you all soon!

This past Thursday (Feb. 19) we had an incredible presentation from JQ International about Gender Matters.  Thank you Jackie Zev and her committee for arranging this thoughtful and meaningful event.
 
Our next event is going to be lots of fun. See the attached flyer (click here).  Please join us for a Passover food tasing competition. Bringing food is not imperative, but if you have a homemade food you would like to share, please make a small taste for about 40 people (even just a spoonful of soup to try for each- or a bite of Charoset for example) and copies of your recipe.  If you need us to make some copies for you, send the recipe to us in advance and we can do this for you.  If you just want to be a taster, that is also fine, as we would love you all to attend this yummy event.
 
We hope to see many of you at our Cantor’s Concert on February 28. 
 
You still have a few more days to RSVP for the Women of Reform Judaism Pacific District Convention being held from March 12-15 in Pasadena.  If you need more details, check out the information on our website or contact one of us.

There were several of our sisterhood members who enjoyed our very interesting and informative session on “Ending Well” Thursday night. For those who missed it, or those who want a review- attached is the schedule of free zoom classes, if you wish to sign up. Click here for schedule.
Or, if the workshops are more time than you want to invest, here is a checklist for you to think about.

1. ___I have showed the list of “Where to Find Things” to each of my children, successor trustees/executor.
2. ___In 2025 I reviewed and updated my Living Trust or Will.
3. ___I have written down ideas for my celebration of life.
4. ___ To avoid family conflicts, I have put in writing who I want my one-of-a-kind possessions to go to.
5. ___I have shared ideas for my celebration of life with my children and asked for their suggestions.
6. ___I have all my passwords recorded in one safe place and my trustee/executor knows where that is.
7. ___The necessary names are on accounts to be closed so that the company/organization will allow access by my trustee.
8. ___My partner knows how to handle his or her new responsibilities after I’m gone.
9. ___I’ve prepared a letter, video or note expressing my thanks to my closest loved ones for what they meant to me.
10. ___I made out an ethical will for the younger members of my family.
11. ___I’ve written my wishes for my digital items (documents, pictures) and my children know where to find them.
12. ___I’ve selected someone to carry out my digital wishes. They know who they are and I’ve spoken with them about it.

If you want to take a workshop, but the dates on the attached schedule don't work for you, send the Ending Well people an email, and they will let you know when the next round will be.

Our next meeting will be Thursday February 19th at 7:00pm.  Be sure to put it on your calendar.  A flyer will be out with next week’s email.
 
We hope to see you all soon.
