SZ Sisterhood Carole Burke, Sisterhood Representative to the Board We have cautiously begun to emerge from hibernation. For Book Club, we meet in person, and on zoom. Before the Provincial Election, we welcomed Robert Libman who provided an interesting overview of the parties’ positions. We continue to provide gifts for a growing number of Bar/Bat mitzvah students. We also provided non-violent toys at the Toy Tea. At this event we met with staff from women’s shelters in Montreal who select appropriate gifts for the mothers to give to their children for Chanukah and Christmas. This year Sisterhood also supported the Chanukah Drive for Chai Lifeline Canada. These gifts go to a sick child. In January, a Master’s student in archival studies was brought on to help organize the Sisterhood Archives. This is part of a larger initiative by Norman Spatz, who secured a provincial grant for Shaare Zedek. We are grateful to him. We thank Rabbi Bright for his support. We thank Executive Director Billy Booth, Wendy and Sara in the office. We thank Roberto and Munirah, our Maintenance Department. Sisterhood could not manage without their kindness and help. And we thank you for your dues and donations which make everything possible. We hope that you are all enjoying a safe and happy winter! Chag Sameach
