Sisterhood News Sisterhood met on April 13th and has begun the process of setting up subcommittees for the High Holy Days celebration. This will be "firmed up" at the next Sisterhood meeting on Sunday, May 18th at 9:00am. During that meeting we will also firm up some plans for the Fall. Sisterhood voted a donation to the Lester Welcher Scholarship Fund during this meeting. Team Beth Elohim is again planning to walk on Sunday, October 5th to raise money for the Support Connection, supporting breast and ovarian cancer research. Thousands walked with us the past few years, Consider joining us to walk once again at F.D.R. State Park. Please contact Sisterhood at the Temple if you are interested. More information will be available in the near future. Sisterhood is in the process of planning trips and activities that will be fun and educational. Please join us at this next meeting, while your children are in religious classes. We do look forward to meeting you and gathering your ideas.

Membership
Sisterhood membership is open to any woman who is a member of Temple Beth Elohim. Sisterhood is an important part of the Temple family, with goals of promoting closer fellowship within our congregation, expanding service and support within the community and serving as a support vehicle for the Congregation by mentoring religious, social and educational activities. Without our Sisterhood members, we would be unable to meet these goals. In addition, we also plan fun events. If you have not already joined, please do so by remitting $18.00 for dues payable to Temple Beth Elohim Sisterhood.
I invite each and everyone of you to join. Through concerted and active involvement in Sisterhood, our Temple will have the framework necessary to support our growing needs. Please feel free to contact any board member with thoughts for improving your Sisterhood.
For information about Sisterhood, please phone: (845) 279-4585 or send an e-mail.
Meetings:
Sisterhood Membership Meetings will take place on the third Sunday of each month at 9 am with the exception of some holidays.

dates obscured for privacy
There is still ample room for more squares, so if you still wish to have a square or simply want an additional square, please fill out an Order form available in the Lobby or download 
a copy here and drop it in the Sisterhood box. Please contact Hollis Wilson for further information. Please make checks payable to: Sisterhood, Temple Beth Elohim. (Your donation is tax deductible)
Count Your Blessings: We are thankful for our freedom and we are thankful for the wonderful aspects of our lives; and we should take time to count our blessings. Sisterhood wants you to show your appreciation and count your blessings by completing this worksheet and making a donation to the Building Fund. We are getting closer and need your help. If everyone completes the form and sends it in with a donation, we could start our path to the future.
Traditions: A Collection of Recipes compiled by our members and their families is on sale now at the Judaica Shop, and the Temple office and is also available by mail order.
The cookbook features a chapter explaining food customs for the Jewish holidays throughout the year including braiding diagrams for making homemade challah, a chapter on holiday recipes, and categories for: Appetizers & Beverages; Soups & Salads; Vegetables, Potatoes & Rice; Dairy & Noodle Dishes; Fish, Meat & Poultry; Baked Goods & Desserts.
Sisterhood's beautiful creation is a great gift idea for Hanukkah, the new bride or as a housewarming gift. You might also wish to give one to a child who is away at college and does his or her own cooking. Many people have purchased a copy for each of their children so that they will always have a handy collection of Jewish recipes available.
This book can provide you with many new, tried and true treats for any holiday or occasion, even that night when the whole family can actually gather around the dinner table together!...and best of all if you have a question about the recipe you can check it out with the actual cook who supplied it!
