On Hanukkah, we can greet one another with “Hanukkah sameach!” which means “Happy Hanukkah!” or “Chag urim sameach” which means “Happy Festival of Lights.” As on any happy holiday or festival, we can say "Chag sameach!" (“Happy holiday!”)
In December, watch for a December New Year Schmooze and the regular District Book Club “Sisters, Wine, and Words.”
If you missed the “Membership Mania” you are in luck, the recording is available on our Yammer page.
In January watch for a virtual tour of Arlington Cemetery – Heroines and Heroes.
Do you have a program that you are interested in learning about or presenting? Please contact me, we would love to hear from you.
In the coming months, we will begin to discuss our first in-person meetings. Andrea and I would like to start meeting with each of the women’s group Presidents, just to catch up and see how we can accommodate your needs. . If you have an event you would like us to attend please send us the invite. We want to come visit and attend programs.
I love this time of year, who doesn’t love hot cocoa by the fire? All the best in 2022!

Dear Friends,
After a long time of not being able to join in person, we are looking forward to our second WRJ Women's Empowerment Awards Dinner. Save the date, to join us virtually or in person, on Saturday, April 30, 2022, at The National Press Club in Washington, D.C. We will be honoring a select group of nominees who empower other women and are advocates for change as well as Rabbi Marla Feldman for her 20 years of Reform Movement service. You won't want to miss this special event! Information on registration will come early this winter.
In the meantime, we are asking for nominations of special women in your life. Nominations are due on Friday, December 10, 2021. Think "out of the box" and nominate women who continue to shape and change the course of history. We want to recognize their incredible service. To read more about the guidelines, visit our Women's Empowerment Awards website here: https://wrj.org/womens-empowerment-awards-dinner.
