Women – it’s a New Year and we are here for each other! Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh Bazeh.

    It’s not too late to send in your PJTC Sisterhood dues for this year.  If you have not yet done so, please contact Aty Rotter, Vice-President, Membership  at 626.664.4509 or atalya19@aol.com or complete the attached form. You have the opportunity to participate at various levels.  And, you provide financial support through your dues.  Join us and find friendship and community.

    Sisterhood was honored to participate in High Holy Day activities, creating the New Year greetings book and membership directory, selling challah, apple cake and rugelach to enhance your Rosh Hoshana celebration, donating apples and honey sticks to packages delivered to congregants who have suffered illness or loss in the last six months, serving as ushers during services, and arranging for floral arrangements for the bimah.

     I would like to acknowledge and thank our Sisterhood members who produced our lovely New Year Greetings Book and Membership Directory - Karen Hochman Brown, Ruth Kaye and Arlene Weiss, supported by staff member Theresa Brekan. Thank you to all who supported Sisterhood with a New Year greeting. We appreciate your making an effort to support those businesses who placed ads in this publication. If you were unable to pick up this publication at PJTC during High Holy Day services, you can always pick up a copy at the synagogue office.=
