We meet on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m.
Sisterhood's mission is to enrich Synagogue life, and create a community feeling among Synagogue members. Join us at our next board meeting, where we’ll discuss all the great activities we’re working on. At the end of each meeting, we (bring our own lunch and) hear from a special guest speaker. See below for meeting dates and guest speakers.
This year we are asking our members and friends to help us support the Interfaith Food Pantry. We will suggest items that can be brought to each of our meetings and events; and of course, we encourage you to bring non-perishable food for the Food Pantry whenever you come to the Synagogue.

September 9 - Tai Chi with Richard Wilkinson. Bring a brown bag lunch. We will supply coffee and cake.
Dick Wilkinson is an apprentice instructor with the New York School of Tai Chi Chuan. He has practiced Tai Chi since 2009. Since retiring from a 25 year career in the financial industryin 2002, Dick works as a manager and speaker in the health care and weight loss field. Sitting at a desk in front of a computer terminal for 30 years left him in poor physical shape. After finding Tai Chi he is now an active, healthy 62 year-old. It's opened the door to a brighter outlook, ballroom dance and golf. Tai Chi has helped bring balance and relaxation into all aspects of life.
