Shavuot Study Brunch, This Saturday
May 19, 10:30 am - 12 pm
Join us for a special Shavuot Study Brunch where Rabbi Bearman will lead us through an exploration of our tradition's (sometimes difficult) relationship with women's voices. In this session, we will learn about and discuss several biblical women and the power structures that characterized their lives and our own. This class will be based on resources from the Central Conference of American Rabbis' Task Force on the Experience of Women In the Rabbinate.

Volunteers Still Needed for Young Cystic Fibrosis Patients -
Driving and Dinner Meals!
From Jane Alexander: Wi-ACT is in search of volunteers to do the driving from Wilton to Stamford and/or to provide dinners for young Cystic Fibrosis patients from abroad. These patients, typically in their teens but as young as five years old, are treated pro bono for three weeks at Wi-ACT Steering Committee Member Dr. Hossein Sadeghi's pulmonology clinic in Stamford. The results of this treatment are truly lifegiving: if these children do not receive this treatment, they will likely die within several years (or even less). If you would like to volunteer, please email Wi-ACT Steering Committee Member Linda Rost at lrost0411@gmail.com. Thank you, Jane.
