To Our Wonderful Sisterhood Community,
On a recent to trip to Chicago to attend a Women’s League for Conservative Judaism convention, we came across a slogan in a nearby retail establishment….”Unity is Our Strength.” In so many ways, this phrase embodies the essence of our Sisterhood community. From our giving campaigns, to our catering, to our Rosh Hodesh gatherings, Shabbatons, and luncheons, we plan, celebrate, support, and grow together.
With Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur approaching, it is a time for celebration, reflection, and renewal. Our senses are heightened this time of the year as we look forward to gathering with family and friends and remember our loved ones who are no longer with us. This is the time of the year we partake in all that is sweet… apples and honey, pomegranates, dates, and more. This is the time of the year there is an anticipation to hear the sound of the shofar. And this is the time of the year we reflect and come together to pray. As we pray, we seek forgiveness for ourselves and work toward being a better person. Our faith and our traditions support us and give us strength.
Wishing you and your families an abundance of Good Health and Happiness!
L’Shanah Tovah Umetukah!
Cici Hallegua and Shan Farahi
