TMS Sisterhood
Dear Women of Temple Mount Sinai:
As we look to a new year in 5785, we can appreciate how we've changed and adjusted over the last year.
In the past year, our Sisterhood members have actively participated in programs that have not only supported our traditions but also strengthened our bond. Together, we have achieved so much, from the successful Sugar Cookie Sales, where the funds raised went to the campership, to our memorable annual Sisterhood Shabbat. These are not just events, but milestones that
we have crossed together, reflecting our collective strength and commitment.
Temple Mount Sinai Women of Reform Judaism, our Sisterhood, invites you to continue and renew your Membership. We also encourage new members of our community to begin their Sisterhood Journey and join.
Congratulations to the new Sisterhood Board:
Diana Plesant , President
Mindy Dember, Vice President
Alison Westermann, Secretary (2nd year)
Sue Bendelin, Treasurer
