Dick and I just returned from the Union of Reform Judaism Biennial in Boston. This is the first time we had ever attended. What an experience it was!
The sessions were very informative, from Hebrew Union College Dean and Rabbi Jonathan Cohen’s text study on family life to a live taping of On Being with Krista Tippett.
The energetic and spiritual Shabbat services were like nothing I had ever attended.
Another month has passed and as you read this I’m sure you all had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends.
The Hanukkah Gift Shop is stocked with new items for you to select for the holiday. Hanukkah is such a meaningful time of the year.
In just a week or so, we will be reading about Joseph and his coat of many colors. We all know the story: Joseph receives a coat with many colors and his brothers are most jealous and throw Joseph in a pit.
Whenever I read or hear this story, I think of Donny Osmond, who played Joseph in the musical, Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Such a beautiful coat caused so much trouble!
Here we are in November and before you know it, Hanukkah will be here. I’m hoping to get some new holiday items in the gift shop within a couple of weeks.
Sometimes we just wonder where the time goes. It seems like just yesterday I was raising my three children and now my granddaughter Patricia is expecting my first great-grandson — yes, we know it is a boy.
Turning to Sisterhood business, I would like to hear from all the members to see what you would like to accomplish this year.
