The Sisterhood Board has recommended changes to our Bylaws to make them more clear and consistent with how we are currently operating. Contact us for a copy of the Bylaws with the changes indicated, and a document summarizing the changes and giving the reason for each change. We will be voting to approve the changes at our September meeting. Please review the changes and feel free to ask questions.
We thank the Bylaws committee (Phyllis Bigelson, Jackie Zev, Kathy Barker, Dori Hoffman) for their hard work proposing changes, and we thank the Board for their review and suggestions for improvements. You can ask questions about the bylaws by replying to this email or by calling anyone on the Bylaws committee:

Our Sisterhood is part of a larger organization called the Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ). We pay dues to WRJ for each Sisterhood member. You may not be aware of the incredible impact WRJ has had throughout its 111 year-old history and continues to have today.
Not only has WRJ always supported and promoted Jewish women, but they also have been (and continue to be) a major supporter of both the education of our clergy and the development of our youth. WRJ is very active politically, promoting Social Justice initiatives that make a difference. And they have taken on numerous special projects, such as the completion of The Torah: A Women’s Commentary, which features women’s interpretations of the holy text. Come to our September meeting and learn about how much you make a difference on a National scale by being a member of our Sisterhood. WRJ Pacific District Board Member Margie Meadow will present insights on WRJ's rich history and its current projects and activities. On a local front, your Board has been hard at work revising and updating our bylaws to be consistent with current practices. We will be presenting and voting on the proposed Bylaws amendments at our September meeting as well. We hope to see you at our September meeting! Bingotini is Saturday, September 14 at 7:30pm. It's so much fun! Have you signed up yet?  You can pay online at tassisterhood.org/bingotini, you can Zelle to [email protected], or you can send a check (payable to TAS Sisterhood) to Sue Cohen 22349 James Allen Circle, Chatsworth, CA 91311.
Cost is $36 per person. The price goes up for RSVPs after Sept. 7 and walk-ins, so RSVP today! Onegs are a huge part of our Friday night services, and as the new Religious Observances Vice President, I want to ensure everyone who wishes to participate gets the opportunity. Whether you’d like to help with an Oneg weekly (shopping), monthly, or occasionally, please let me know.
Joining an Oneg team involves arriving at the temple 45 minutes before the service time to help set up the room (tablecloths, centerpieces), food (plating cookies, fruit, and cake), and drinks (making punch and coffee). You will be able to attend the services on time. Afterward, you’ll assist with serving and cleanup. Each team has a lead, so you are never on your own. If you believe you're already on the substitute list, please still confirm your participation. We're starting fresh and don't want to miss anyone. Thank you to all who have contributed in the past and to our new volunteers. Your support and dedication are greatly appreciated. Contact me if you'd like to volunteer. Thank you, Robyn Blachman Religious Observances VP Welcome Back Event Thursday August 22, 2024  Reminder:
