Welcome from Sisterhood President

WELCOME FROM SISTERHOOD PRESIDENT, SHARON CROSS

 

 

 There is a timeless French proverb that states, “Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.” The more things change, the more they remain the same. When we started building Kol Ami in the late 70's one of the things we knew we needed was a Sisterhood to help work with the Congregation. I have watched since the beginning of Sisterhood how this organization has grown to become an integral and vital part of Kol Ami.  So now it is with great pleasure that I have become president of this organization.

 Sisterhood is crucial to making many aspects of this Congregation work smoothly. From the many Shabbat Kiddush luncheons and Oneg Shabbats to working with the Kol Yeladim school, members of Sisterhood are crucial to help support and beautify our synagogue. Over the years Sisterhood has provided financial support to our synagogue by purchasing different items that were needed to ensure the building was maintained and beautiful. These traditions continue today when Sisterhood is called upon to help.

 Kol Ami's Sisterhood has a full schedule of programs throughout the year for our members, and others in the congregation, to enjoy. We also have a number of fundraisers to raise money to support our programs and the beautification of Kol Ami. These fundraisers consist of our High Holiday Mazelgrams for members of the synagogue to send greetings to other members, Honey from the Heart where people can send a beautiful jar of honey and a High Holiday greeting to anyone in the country, Hamantaschen for the whole family to enjoy, and other exciting events where we raise money. Sisterhood participates in our annual Joel Wasser (z"l) Memorial Scholar In Residence and Sisterhood/Brotherhood Shabbat, the annual picnic and other synagogue events.

 Kol Ami Sisterhood is part of Women's League and annually we have a Torah Fund event in the spring. This event is also our induction for our Sisterhood board members.  Our members also are a part of the Florida Region of Women's League and participate in many of their events and study groups.

 Our goal is to be inclusive of all women who are members of Kol Ami. We hope you are, or will become, a member of Kol Ami's Sisterhood and join us for the many different things and events that make this synagogue a warm and friendly place.

 Looking forward to seeing you at our next event.
B'Shalom,
Sharon Cross
