Greetings from your President
Hello. I’m Alice Rosen. I’ve lived in Dallas most of my life. My husband Henry and I have been members of Temple Shalom since 2014. We have 3 sons, Marty (27), Graham (25), and Benjamin (21). I have been part of Sisterhood almost from the beginning of my time at Temple Shalom. Eager to become involved, I started working at Traditions and was soon asked to become the Tradition liaison to the Sisterhood Board. Later, I became the Recording secretary, and then the VP of Events. Along the way, I’ve been part of many committees, chaired events, and shared many fun and happy times here, and even some sad times as well. Henry and I love being part of the Temple Shalom community, as it’s truly a big part of our lives.
I’m looking forward to being the President of Sisterhood for the next two years. I am honored to be part of such a wonderful group of smart, talented, supportive women who are eager to have fun as well as being committed to the Jewish tradition of Tikkun Olam. Our newly installed board is already working on fun and exciting programs for this upcoming new year.
This past year we had so many exciting and diverse events like touring the Museum of Biblical Arts, learning about Bonton Farms, and going on a bus tour highlighting and discovering Old Dallas. We went to the Farmhouse Fresh Animal Sanctuary. We participated in Lilith Salon discussions and for the fourth straight time won our annual competition with Brotherhood at a fun-filled ‘Family Feud’. We went on walks with our Sole Sisters, met regularly with Brotherhood for book clubs, and enjoyed delicious gourmet meals at restaurants around the city. We participated in social justice activities like sending postcards to ‘Get Out the Vote’ and Zoom meetings with our RAC representative to keep up with women's issues. At our General Meeting, we heard from Cindy Chupack, an award-winning TV writer and producer about what it was like to write for “Everybody Loves Raymond”, “Sex in the City” and “Modern Family.” And, of course, we honored Toba as our Woman of Valor.
Your incoming board is already incredibly busy planning more fabulous programs and continuing the tradition of providing you, our members, more great opportunities to get together to learn, advocate, support, and have fun. You get a lot of ‘bang for the buck’ being a member of Sisterhood! I hope you will continue to support all that Sisterhood does for the Temple Shalom community. Membership has opened for the 2023-24 year. You can register and pay online or print a membership form and pay by check by going to templeshalomdallas.org/sisterhood-membership-registration. We hope to see you soon!
