Sisterhood

Jackie Zelkowitz It was wonderful to see so many of our members, as well as some new faces, at our Sisterhood Opening Dinner. Thank you to our wonderful speaker, Peggy Shapiro, National Director Special Projects/Retired Midwest Director of StandWithUs. Thank you to Debbie Hamilton and Sara Weinstein for their very hard work setting up this outstanding program for us. CBS Knits has started its new year and meets twice a month. They have knitted several items for The Ark. In addition, the committee is knitting blankets, afghans, baby items, toddler jackets, scarves and hats that will be shipped through a relief agency to Ukrainians who are in exile. If you would like to join in this wonderful cause, please reach out to Maureen Gold maureenagold@comcast.net. Ever want to learn Mah Jongg? Sisterhood is offering Jan Blum Memorial Game Day Mah Jongg Learning Sessions and Open Table Play so we can be ready for the Annual Jan Blum Memorial Game Day Event on Sunday, February 26th. You can either learn or come with friends and just play. For sign up information, please refer to the details at the bottom of this page or on the Sisterhood Calendar on the CBS website. Thank you to Ellen Grossman, Sara Weinstein and Andy Widen for taking time out to teach us. The 2022-2023 Torah Fund Campaign has begun. This is Torah Fund’s 80th year and our theme for this year is Chazak v’Ematz, Be Strong and Courageous. Our support of Torah Fund helps provide essential scholarships and programs to train future clergy and leaders of the Jewish community. It is also our way to say thank you for the amazing professionals that we have had the honor and privilege of learning with and being part of our CBS Family. To make a donation to Torah Fund, please contact Jody Sigal jbsigal31@gmail.com. The Northbrook Inn Memory Care Community is looking for volunteers to engage with residents who have memory loss issues. Your time commitment can be every other week to once a month from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm. You would need to go through a background check. If you are interested in helping with this very rewarding service, please let me know. I hope that you can take advantage of all the wonderful programs Sisterhood has to offer and I look forward to seeing and meeting all of you. Jackie Zelkowitz
