Women's Leadership Council
The Women's Leadership Council met on January 29th.
Esther, Chavie, Ati, Sarita, Hadassah, and Renee discussed future activities for our group.
We decided to hold a forum on Black Frum Jewish Women in our community because it is Black History Month. We will discuss culture and customs of their community. This will be on Sunday March 9th and include a brunch. The cost is $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Money can be paid either
online (click here) or in the shul office prior to the event. We invite all women to come, young and old to this special event at the shul downstairs hall at 11am.
~~~We will act as hostesses to a special Purim Kiddush at the shul on Shabbos, March 8th. All members of our YIBE community are welcome to attend. If you wish to be a sponsor of this Kiddush, please contact the office ASAP. This will give us an opportunity to get to know one another and at this joyous time, give us an opportunity to expand our membership for our shul.
In addition, we are selling cards for Purim in the office that you can send in lieu of making up baskets for Mishloach Manot, and you will be fulfilling the mitzvot of mattanot la-evyonim by donating to YIBE. The card will have a picture of our shul on the outside and the inside will say
"In lieu of Mishloach Manot, a donation has been made to YIBE in your honor by _______, thus fulfilling the mitzvoth of mattanot la- evyonim."
Cards can be purchased in the shul office for $5 for one and 3 for $10.
We are always looking to make new friends and renew old acquaintances, so if you are interested, please join us at our functions and help us build the council into a vibrant part of the shul.
