VIOLINS OF HOPE WAS AN AMAZING SUCCESS AND HANUKKAH IS NOW COMING TO TOWN Whew! What an amazing night we had with Violins of Hope on 11/18/21. We are so grateful to Efrat Yakobi Gafni for bringing Sisterhood the opportunity to bring this amazing event to TAS, for Diane Levine for chairing the committee that brought this event to life, and for the committee members themselves Thanks also to Aaron Solomon, without whom we would be lost, and to Seth Shulman who was our Zoom master. Special thanks to Neal Brostoff for his musical inspiration and direction, and to all the musicians and performers who made it such a magical night. It was an evening to be remembered, and we are grateful to all of you who helped make it a reality.
And now, its time for Hanukkah! The Sisterhood Hanukkah event will be held on Thursday 12/2/21 in the Social Hall. Please see the flyer for more details. We will be lighting the Hanukkiah, playing dreidel games, and having a ton of fun! It is requested that all participants are vaccinated to attend, and of course, masks are required. Finally, we wish each of you a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope you have an opportunity so spend some quality time with friends and family over the upcoming holiday weekend.
