Greetings from your Co-Presidents
Fall…the season of changes. The leaves are changing, the cooler temperature is welcoming and the High Holidays have concluded. The Torah portion, Vayeilech, couldn’t be more meaningful at this time. The message is about “change”. The Israelites are about to change their home and cross over in the “land of milk and honey.” They experience a change in leadership as Moses decides at 120 years of age that he would pass the reigns
to Joshua.
Our society seems to be changing all the time. Many have forgotten what kindness is
and how beneficial it is to be kind and to have kindness laid upon us. Have you heard
of the movement, “Random Acts of Kindness?” Why do we need an entire foundation
to remind us to be kind? What would it feel like to live in a world where kindness is
the norm?
Keo Strull saw the importance of kindness first-hand at the grocery store. She was
leaving the store when she heard a lady yelling at an older gentleman getting into his
car. She told him that he was too old to drive and continued to berate him. Keo went
up to her and told her that she was mean and that she shouldn’t be yelling at him. She
then went up to the gentleman and talked kindly to him. He turned to her and
mouthed “Thank you” and “Shalom”.
Imagine a world...
Where you can succeed by being nice.
Where we all pay it forward.
Where people look out for each other.
It all starts with an act.
We would love to hear stories that prove how kindness makes a difference. Sisterhood
is all about making a difference!!! The kindness that our sisters show is amazing and
meaningful. Let’s spread the love. Let’s be the Change!
