Hello Congregants,

How can you join our ranks? Become a member of Sisterhood by


paying your yearly dues. Not only will you be helping our
synagogue, youll be contributing to the Jewish Theological
Seminary. Join us for the entertainment, education, and
camaraderie. Here is another way: become a supporter of our
Congregational Kiddush and Lunch. Even though many
people sponsor kiddush and/or lunch on Shabbat, more than fifty
percent of the meal is paid for by the donors to the Sisterhood
Shabbat Lunch fund. Be a sponsor of our warm and wonderful
kiddush and lunch program. Join us on Shabbat, after services,
as we mingle with fellow congregants, guests, and clergy for a
hamische meal. The food is delicious and the company is
outstanding.
Gather with us as we join together in friendship, and in the
celebration of Torah and mitzvoth. Come to shul and be with
women in whose hearts rest the future of Congregation Shaarey
Zedek, and Conservative Judaism.
May He who makes peace in His high place make peace for us,
for Israel, and for all mankind.
Eileen Glogower
Sisterhood President

Affilates Congregation Shaarey Zedek www.shaareyzedek.org

Our Sisterhood is an arm of the synagogue that works hard to


involve many people in events and happenings in our shul and
community. As the President of Sisterhood, I am proud of our
accomplishments and invite you be a part of our wonderful
organization. Join our membership, and know that you have the
backing of a worlds largest network of synagogue women.
Sisterhood strengthens our faith, and helps us establish a
meaningful Jewish life.
