Sisterhood
February 2026
Hello, all,
We painted, we noshed, we drank wine and iced tea, and we painted beautiful beach scenes! On January 6th, fifty Sisterhood members, most of whom doubted their own abilities, discovered that they could paint better than their third-grade teachers told them they could. We made a mess with the paints, and we laughed and enjoyed ourselves as Lynn Sternberg, retired art teacher, led us through the steps. Many of us have our canvases perched on our lanais until we decide what to do with them. Some of us already framed and hung them. We all had a great time. Please view pictures of the event on page 15.
Join us for our Sisterhood Shabbat on Friday, February 6th. This year, Janet Corin graciously volunteered to run it. Many of you have been assigned parts. Afterward, Sisterhood does the oneg. If you would like to volunteer to bake or to donate food for the oneg, please let Donna know.
On Tuesday, February 3rd, Sisterhood presents “Readers’ Theater”. Program Co-Chair Cyd Charrow has assembled a group of extroverts who will delightfully read a play called, “The Other Woman”. For more information, please read page 5 of this edition of Shalom News. All are invited to attend, and no reservations are required.
