December 2025
Hello, all,
Our Paid-Up Members Luncheon was held on November 4. It was lovely to converse and dine with many Sisterhood members who made room in their very busy schedules to join us for lunch and the fabulous entertainment of “Bel’A’Cappella”, led by the wonderfully talented and always smiling Faye Nepon. We enjoyed a variety of musical genres sung beautifully and delivered with clever patter. Thank you to all who attended, helped set up, and helped clean up.
As this issue of Shalom News goes to print, it is almost Thanksgiving. To me, Thanksgiving means that our annual Men’s Club/Sisterhood Hanukkah Party is just around the corner. This year, our Hanukkah Party will be held on the afternoon of the first night of Hanukkah — Sunday, December 14, from 2:00-4:00 pm. Bring your menorahs and candles to light the first candle. If you don’t have candles or a menorah you want to bring from your house, you can buy them from our Judaica Shop. We’ll have lots of latkes with apple sauce and sour cream, jelly donuts, and some surprises. Please join us. See page 5 of this issue for more details.
