We are looking forward to seeing many of you at our event this Thursday, October 15. RSVP needed for address (this event is NOT at the temple). See flyer attached.  On October 17 @ 7pm, come celebrate Sukkot with TAS Sisterhood in Jo and Jim Schwartz's lovely sukkah. In addition to our traditional celebration and service, we will be eating waffle pops with toppings - yum! There will be gluten-free waffles available. RSVP by October 13 to Sandy at [email protected]. Jo and Jim's address will be provided when you RSVP. If you haven't paid your Sisterhood dues (or joined as a Friend of Sisterhood), you can bring a check to the meeting and save yourself the trouble of mailing it in. We look forward to seeing you on the 17th! Bingotini last Saturday was a roaring success! Almost 80 people came and we had a lot of fun. Much thanks to Brian Hatkoff for being a great MC, and to Scott and Sue Press for their excellent martinis. Also to those that helped with setup, check in and clean up - Carol Stern, Robyn Blachman, and Sue Press. A special shout out to Dany Margolies, Naomi Kokason, Doreen Hawbecker, and Tova Burg for their donations - your support is much appreciated! And of course, kudos to our Bingotini committee, Carol Bizar-Morton, Sue Cohen, and Jackie Zev for making it all happen.
Don't forget that Thursday, September 19th is our September meeting where WRJ Pacific District Board Member Margie Meadow will present insights on the rich history and current projects and activities of our parent organization, the Women of Reform Judaism. You will be impressed and amazed at what a difference your membership in Sisterhood makes on a National level. We will also be presenting and voting on the proposed Bylaws amendments at our September meeting. An email was sent on Sept. 6 with the changes. Review the changes beforehand, and we will answer any questions you might have. Hope to see you Thursday! 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:
We are looking forward to seeing many of you this coming Thursday night. Did you know that TAS has an Israeli Dance group?
It is lay led, meets in the Social Hall at TAS and is very fun! All Sisterhood Members are invited to the next gathering on Tuesday morning, August 27 from 10:30 to Noon. Bring your water bottle and wear socks or non-stick shoes as we dance on the carpet. There is no charge – a benefit of TAS Membership.
