This has been a special year for Sisterhood, marked by the launch of our Lilith Salons, centered around articles in Lilith magazine. If you attended our first one, "Life After Mazel Tov," where we discussed Jewish marriage, you know what anenlightening and fulfilling experience the salon can be. It is an intimate gathering where we can open our hearts and share our thoughts, our stories, and our observations with one another in a cozy atmosphere of warmth and friendship. Our next salon will be a luscious brunch on Sunday, June 1, at 10 a.m. Board Member Zeva Roschko has graciously offered to host it in her home. It will be our last Sisterhood event of the year, and you won't want to miss it. So mark your calendar today—and treat yourself to a lively morning filled with good conversation, laughter and inspiration, delectable treats and the best of friends. Watch your mail for details about the topic for discussion. See you there!

A warm and wonderful circle of friendship and caring is waiting to welcome you. It's Sisterhood of Union Temple. We are women of all ages and interests who find joy in one another as we come together to celebrate our heritage, to socialize, to share, and to learn. As a member of Sisterhood, you will also be adding your voice to our national organization, Women of Reform Judaism. Together we work for the benefit of Jewish youth and education, for the empowerment of women as advocates on issues of vital importance to Reform Judaism, and to perform the mitzvah of bringing hope and help where they are needed.

Sisterhood has a great year planned: stimulating guest speakers, exciting expeditions, and our fun-filled auction and holiday sales. In addition, there are our popular Rosh Chodesh Seders, celebrating women's many roles in life and in keeping our religion, culture, and people alive through the ages.

We look forward to welcoming you to all our programs. You'll find that they are very special times of warmth, friendship, and sharing. So be good to yourself. Add your voice, your heart, and your hands to ours as together we reach out to help our temple, our community, and our world.
