WoTS New for June-July 2009 / Sivan-Tammuz-Av 5769
Shalom!
I want to first introduce myself to all of you. I am Suzan Berman-Hvizdash, the new Chairperson for the Women of Temple Sinai (WoTS). My predecessors have left very large shoes for me to fill, most recently Jean Kablack, then Jane Siegel, Flo Chapman, Terry Kennedy, and all the other wonderful women who have helped to make this group what it is today. I hope to be able to take what they’ve done and continue to grow the membership, increase participation and introduce new activities for all Temple families. The new Steering Committee and the new officers are in place and motivated to move forward with many exciting adventures.
As we look into the summer months with the kids off from school, vacations planned, yard work to keep up on, let us not forget about all those activities that are still going on at Temple Sinai. There is much to plan with Rosh Hashanah not too far away and other activities that are ongoing.
WoTS is responsible for several programs that I think are important to mention:
- We knit caps for new-born additions to our Family of Families. Even though it’s warm now, babies still need to keep their heads protected. If you are interesting in knitting, please contact Lynn Naman to get you started in this “tight knit” group.
- WoTS also helps the B’racha Center in contacting our senior Temple members to offer a friendly word and let them know we are thinking of them. If you are interested in making some of these calls, please contact Arlene Smith.
- We sponsor Bridge nights as well as Mah Jongg nights. If you are interested in finding out more about these activities, do not hesitate to contact Sandy Chernew (Bridge) and Estelle Mann (Mah Jongg), gramastell@aol.com.
- I would also like to mention that WoTS is the sponsor for the Rosh Chodesh discussion group, ably coordinated by Carol Woolford. The June/July events finish the program year with a discussion using the book, Reading the Women of the Bible, by Tikva Frymer-Kensky.
- Although we are enjoying the pool, the dog days of summer, ice tea and lemonade, apples and honey are just around the corner. Every year, WoTS helps you to wish your friends and family of Temple Sinai a very Happy New Year with personal Rosh Hashanah greeting cards. Soon, you will get a mailing about this. With your busy schedules, let us send your greetings for you. Please contact Ruth Zober or Jodi Miller, jsmiller2girls@aol.com for more information or to volunteer to address the cards early this fall.
I would also like to extend a personal invitation to all the Women of Temple Sinai to join WoTS. Come to a meeting, held the first Sunday of each month from 11 AM - 12:30 PM, or volunteer for any one of our many events — Chanukah party, Cabaret, Mitzvah Day dinner, Men’s Shelter dinner, Book clubs, Matzah Brittle baking, and so much more!
Sincerely,
Suzie

Knitters Needed
An on-going project of WoTS is to welcome babies born into our congregation with a beautiful hand knitted infant cap. These adorable caps are also available for sale in our gift shop.
