After the vote, we welcomed a very special guest, our incoming Senior Rabbi, Rabbi Becky Hoffman. Rabbi Becky answered questions from the attendees and shared details of her education, family and her path to the rabbinate.

Following the Q&A, we took a short walk down memory lane with a zoom photo album of 2019-2020 Sisterhood memories put together by Efrat Yakobi-Gafni, Karen Pelmont and Jackie Zev. Then we broke into small groups and talked about those 2019-2020 events and what we would like to see in the coming year.

After that we were reminded by Mel Birken of the six TAS Religious School students who will be confirmed this year:

Lucas Kinzler
Odessa Miller Espinoza
David Solomon
