Event for Women Registration Now Open
Registration has just opened for this year's Event for Women featuring the incredible Bobbi Brown as the guest speaker.
Bobbi's unique approach to beauty and her ability to translate the latest trends into wearable, real life looks has made her a sought-after expert on television, in magazines and newspapers, and online. As a New York Times best-selling author, Bobbi has written eight instructional and engaging beauty and lifestyle books, with the ninth due to publish in Spring 2017. Bobbi’s message remains the same today as it was when she launched in 1991: "The secret to beauty is simple—be who you are.”
The Event for Women will be held at Congregation Beth El, Voorhees, on Thursday, May 18th at 6pm. Please register by May 9th.

Adath Emanu-El event tackles issues of prejudice, insensitivity
It was billed as a “Dialogue for Our Time.” The urgency of dealing with prejudice and insensitivity in today’s political climate brought 100 people to a recent Men’s Club brunch at Adath Emanu-El in Mount Laurel. About a fourth of them were Muslims from the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam mosque in Willingboro. They joined members of the Reform synagogue—itself founded in Willingboro—as the mosque’s spiritual leader, Imam Rizwan Khan, took part in a panel discussion moderated by Adath’s Senior Rabbi Benjamin David. Jewish Community Relations Council Director David Snyder and President Amy Clayman were the other panel members.
“We have such a beautiful and long history,” Rabbi David said. “We are brothers and sisters and will remain that, even though there are those out there who seek to instill some divisiveness.”
