Shabbat Shalom,
Last week we celebrated Shabbat in Savannah together with our Sisters from the Southern Region of Women's League for Conservative Judaism. This week we celebrate with our families and our synagogues.
Welcome to Women's League for Conservative Judaism, Southern Region's New Year.
Save the Date: Sunday, July 27, 2008, Open Board Meeting and Training, at Beth Shalom, 5303 Winters Chapel Road, Atlanta, Georgia. If I did not have the opportunity to meet you last week, I hope I will meet you in Atlanta in July. We will send more information about July 27, after I return from the Region Presidents’ Training in NY.
Save this date, too: A dessert reception honoring Torah Fund Benefactors will take place Saturday evening, July 26, 2008 at the home of Jacki Stevens in Atlanta. Watch for your invitation.
And a final date: Our next Spring Conference is planned for April 26 - 28 at Camp Ramah Darom. We are still in discussions with Ramah and as soon as everything is finalized, we’ll start giving you details about this exciting Conference.
This week’s Torah portion is Emor. Moses speaks to the people of Israel telling them that we should sanctify, not profane, G-d. He then goes into a discussion of the calendar and holidays. We sanctify G-d by living according to our Jewish calendar. Last week we sanctified G-d and celebrated Shabbat together by lighting candles and chanting Kiddush, by praying and studying together, and by installing and welcoming our new Southern Region Board. This week, as we sanctify Shabbat in our own homes and synagogues, may we each continue to have a Shabbat filled with joy.
Shabbat Shalom,
Barbara Ezring
WLCJ Southern Region President
