On Thursday, May 20, 2021, we are meeting for our election and iris folding craft project. The envelopes filled with the materials for the craft project are now ready for pick up. The best way to arrange pick up is to call Karen Jaye at 818-203-0802 to arrange a time with her and she will leave an 9” x 12” envelope with your name on it on a table in front of her garage. This is the same house and system most people utilized to obtain the materials for the tile project back in November. If Karen is unavailable you may also contact Dori Hoffman at 818-606-2084 and she will work with you to arrange an alternate pick up site. If anyone who can’t pick up the materials would still like to participate, we will work to get the materials to her. We want as many people as possible to join us for the activity. Participants will need to have scissors and Scotch tape available and we recommend you have a ruler. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
In sisterhood, Dorothy B. Hoffman and Karen Jaye Program VPs

The event will be a spiritual interactive session where we will explore our inner selves, tap into our personal world, and find meaning in our lives. We look forward to seeing you Sunday! Take care and stay safe, 2020-2021- SLATE
Unfortunately I was mistaken regarding the voting procedure for our next meeting. Nominations from the floor closed once the presentation of the Slate was completed. However, we still need you to attend the May craft event, as we need a quorum for the vote to go forward. And so, please review the slate and make sure to support your new officers. WOMEN’S WISDOM There was a typo on the email address for RSVPs to this event. The correct email address is womenswisdom@tassisterhood.org You mud RSVP to this event in order to attend. The Committee has done an amazing job and it promises to be an inspiring morning. HELEN GOLDSTEIN I received numerous inquiries as to why our announcement of Helen’s passing did not mention that she was Erika Barnathan’s mother. This was done deliberately in an effort to preserve the privacy of the family. As you know Erika is a TAS Sisterhood Past President and has been active in many other aspects of both our Sisterhood and the Women of Reform Judaism. Many Sisterhood members count her as a close friend, and know this is a difficult time for her and her family. Erika, her husband Lee and their daughter Elise, as well as the other members of the family have asked for privacy at this time. And so, feel free to send a tribute through Mel Birken, but please hold off on phone calls or visits. Our hearts are with them during this difficult time. Please see the TAS announcement for information as to funeral arrangements and Shiva services. Take care and stay safe, 2020-2021 SLATE In case you were unable to attend our 04/15/2021 event, we would like to provide you with a look at the 2020-2021 slate of officer proposed by our nominating committee. Please see below. We will be voting on the new Board at our May meeting on 05/20/21 prior to our craft event. We can still take nominations from the floor if anyone else is interested in one of our positions, but you will need to be present at the meeting to be nominated.

For those of you who knew Helen, you know she was a bright light with a lovely soul, very dedicated to her children and grandchildren. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. If you would like to send a tribute to the family, please contact Mel Birken at momel1@aol.com, and she will assist you. Take care and stay safe, April Event

Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes Passover. Our renowned Sisterhood Seder is scheduled for March 18, 2021 via Zoom (see flier). Since we are virtual this year, there is no chance of selling out, so if you have never been able to attend our Seder in prior years, this is the time to do it. Please follow the registration instructions on the flier to reserve your space. It’s always a good time, and this year should be no exception! Sisterhood Board Our nominating committee is forming and will be considering who will be filling the upcoming vacancies on the Sisterhood Board. If you are interested in any of the opening positions, or know someone who is, please contact Kathy Barker at kathy@chipsandbits.com. Open positions are: Co-President Administrative VPs Religious Observances VPs Ways and Means VP Programming VP Membership VP Education VP Recording Secretary Even if you have not served on the Board previously, please contact Kathy if you are interested in serving Sisterhood. You won’t regret it! Inspirational Quote In honor of March being Women’s History Month, the following quote seems most appropriate: In discussing her role as Wonder Woman, Israeli actress Gal Gadot said: “I wanted to show that women are empowered and strong and don’t have to be saved by some male hero, but they can take care of themselves using their intelligence and their power.” Hope to see you at the Seder on March 18! Our next general meeting is Thursday, 02/18/2021 at 7pm

See the link below for our flyer, with all the information you need. Please log into the Sisterhood Website (tassisterhood.org) and pay online. Or, print out the attached flyer and mail it to Laurie Sher before March 10, 2021. Cost is $25 for Sisterhood Members and Friends, $30 for guests. Your payment goes toward the Seder production, digital Haggadah, a donation to SOVA, and a goody bag. For those of you who have never been to one of our Sisterhood Seders, you are in for a treat! When we are physically able to be together, we have sold out for the last several years, packing over 100 people into the TAS Social Hall. It is an amazing event thanks to our wonderful chairperson, Arlene Stone and her terrific committee. The Zoom link will be provided once your reservation is confirmed. Our inspirational quote for this e-mail really resonates with our Sisterhood. The insignia on our Sisterhood shirts bears the phrase “You’ve Got a Friend,” and nothing could be more appropriate. Here is a traditional Jewish Proverb, which says it all: “Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure.” For all my Sisterhood Treasures, Happy Valentines’ Day, Stay Healthy and Stay Safe! Sending Love and Hugs! |
