May 2025

 

Hello, all,

On Tuesday, April 1st, Sisterhood held its annual Passover luncheon. We can’t call it a Seder–it was more of an abbreviated religious undertaking with Passover specific food, singing, and dancing. Ricki Bauman led the festivity. Faye Nepon led the singing and dancing. Rochelle Lafer, our “Queen of the Kitchen”, led the preparation, and everyone led the eating. As Rochelle so aptly said, “There is nothing better than the first bite of matzoh of the Passover season!” A brisket or a nice roasted chicken would have been wonderful, but no one volunteered to make them. Maybe next year, ladies…

Our End-Of-Season Luncheon will be held on Tuesday, May 6th at 12:00 noon in our Social Hall. On that afternoon, the following officers will be installed for the 2025-2026 season:

Donna Weiner and Suzy Reingold
Co-Presidents
Ellen Block
Membership Vice President
Cyd Charrow and Vicky Noggle
Programming Vice Presidents
