Dear CGLR Sisters,
As April winds fill the air…
All roads will lead to Cincinnati, Ohio, and Congregation Adath Israel, as our Central Great Lakes Region gathers April 7-9 for our region's Spring Conference 2024,
Beyond the Eclipse…Sisters Strong.
Come join us…
Registration will open Tuesday, February 14 – Watch your emails!
This will be our first in-person conference in five years and we’re very excited! Even the sun and moon are aligning in a rare total eclipse for a spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime workshop. How great is that?
Our terrific Conference Co-Chairs Marlene Ostrow and Wanda Pitzele, our Conference Consultant Margie Miller, and our WL Institute Lead Trainer/CGLR Immediate Past President Fran Hildebrandt, along with an amazing conference team of over 27 of our sisters, are creating, planning, organizing, arranging, designing, developing, and coordinating two and a half days of programs, speakers, workshops, and events. Congregation Adath Israel and its sisterhood affiliate are graciously hosting us and working to make every delegate feel welcome and comfortable. An amazing team from our amazing region.
Come join us…
for a remarkable break from your everyday to-do lists. Together:
· We’ll have opportunities to strengthen our resilience, sharpen our perspective on the world around us, stand strong as women of shared values, renew friendships, make new ones, and have fun along the way.
· We’ll honor and celebrate our region's Valued Volunteers and Milestone and Torah Fund Award recipients, discharge and thank our current officers, and welcome and install our officers for 2024-2026.
· We’ll prepare for a new start with a training workshop for Affiliate Presidents and a Board Orientation for the incoming region board.
· We’ll talk about and write our own prayer, create beautiful Shabbat candlesticks, study music’s influence in prayer, sing some new melodies, learn real strategies to relax, review the best-selling book, The Genius of Israel, ZOOM to Israel for a live discussion on how we respond to critics of Israel, visit the Holocaust Center, and still take in an eclipse along the way.
· We’ll learn about the Masorti Movement’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah Program for Children with Special Needs, our conference’s dedicated tzedakah initiative.
Come join us…
