Dear Friends,
As we head into 2026, I feel a bit nostalgic. Looking back at all we accomplished in 2025 is quite amazing.

And let’s not forget all the monthly activities that continue to thrive thanks to our amazing special interest group chairs! – Ladies Who Lunch, Torah Study, Book Club and Knit Night!
And now it’s time to look forward!
2026 will continue to keep us engaged, enlightened and most of all a community of amazing women making our world a much better place by being a part of it!
Sharing words of wisdom from Rabbi Sacks as we enter a new year.
May we find meaning through gratitude and work to build a better future, even amidst uncertainty.
View life as a journey of making choices through our connection to humanity and God. Find strength in tradition.
Make the world a better place for all, viewing Judaism as an "art of living".
I want to put in a plug for our IntraContinental Region and Sisterhood affiliate – Tifereth Israel in Des Moine, IA Zoom event on Jan.6. It’s about the history of chocolate and the Jewish connection. I am having a watching party for this event.
If you are not able to join us on the 6th, please be sure to register in advance. You’ll get a special chocolate treat!
There is a perk
**Please note that the affiliate with the largest percentage of attendees present (not registered) will receive a $50 credit towards our Region Conference in Oklahoma City in May, 2026.**
And speaking of Regional Conference – Please let me know if you are interested in attending. We have an opportunity to for a first-time attendee to receive a full scholarship.
