�SISTERHOOD NEWS�
On Sunday, November 3rd, Sisterhood hosted a Bagels & Book Talk Brunch. We had 16 people including Sisterhood members, friends of members and 2 husbands. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast of bagels, cream cheese & lox, coffee and pastries. After we ate we began to share our books. The ladies shared some of the books that they recently read. They gave an overview, read excerpts and gave their opinions of the books. There was an interesting exchange of ideas and thoughts. Everyone really enjoyed the brunch and suggested that we should possibly all read the same book and then have a discussion about it. We said that we should come to the next meeting with some suggestions for a book. I’d like to thank Sharon Godlewicz for helping me set up and everyone who participated in this lovely event. I’d like to welcome Janet Dreyfuss and Susan Eisenberg to our Sisterhood. We hope to see them at future meetings and events. Our next meeting will be Sunday, December 15th at 10:30 in the Game Room. I would like to visit our friends at the Hebrew Home after our meeting on the 15th. I have room for 4 people in my car. We could have lunch in the cafe and then visit with Renee, Miriam and Al. Sisterhood wishes everyone in the Van Cortlandt Jewish Center and beyond a very Happy and Joyful Chanukah!

Celebrating a special occasion, such as a significant birthday or anniversary, or a birth, wedding or graduation in the family? Or observing a yahrzeit? Or just want to honor a special person or event? Why not share it with the congregation by sponsoring a Shalosh Seudos or mini-Kiddush? �The Shalosh Seudos (third meal) is a light meal held every Shabbos afternoon between the mincha (afternoon) and maariv (evening) services. The menu can be customized but usually consists of sliced gefilte fish, tuna fish or egg salad, other light foods, fresh fruit, cookies or pastries, challah and crackers, and soda. The cost of sponsoring is approximately $50 depending on the final menu. $10 of this amount is a donation to the VCJC. �The mini-Kiddush is held every Shabbos morning in the Boyarsky Hall immediately following services. It consists of wine and grape juice for reciting the Kiddush, accompanied by a variety of pareve pastries and cookies. The cost to sponsor is a more modest $25. �A third option is sponsoring one of the monthly lectures held between January and June. Preceding each lecture, we serve a light breakfast of bagels, cream cheese and lox along with coffee. Sponsorship costs $100. �If you wish to be a sponsor for any of these events, simply contact the office to book the date, preferably at least two weeks in advance. The office staff will take care of making all the arrangements. We look forward to your participation in these programs. _______________________________________________________
