Message From Our Co-Presidents

Dear Friends,
We are excited and proud to send a passionate group of Sisterhood women as part of the Sinai Temple delegation attending this year’s AIPAC Policy Conference (March 1-3). With elections in both the US and Israel on the horizon, it is an especially exciting year.
In other news, our Sisterhood Shabbaton is Friday, March 20 and Saturday, March 21. Please join us as Rabbi Nicole Guzik and the women of Sinai Temple Sisterhood lead services. We will welcome Rabbi Keilah Lebell of IKAR, Cantorial Soloist Jackie Rafii of Shomrei Torah Synagogue and violinist and vocalist, Chloe Pourmorady. We hope you will join us! More information and a link to registration for lunch can be found below.
We want to thank Judy Fisher, Rachelle Marcus, Jina Rezvanpour, Shirley Singer, Estelle Marco, Alana Gold, Edie Nitzberg and Lea Loewinger for their work on this year’s Mah Jongg Tournament.
Warmly,
Lina Pournazarian & Leslie Wachtel
