MESSAGE FROM RITA WERTLIEB, PRESIDENT
 
"Uri! Uri! Awake! Greet the New Dawn!"
 
This is the Women's League theme for 5772 (2011-2012). It meshes beautifully with our commitment to hiddur mitzvah, the enhancement of the observance of our traditions.
 
Many of us remember how our grandmothers prepared for Shabbat each week and for the holidays each in their own season. We recognize that these observances went through changes in every generation as they passed from our grandmothers, to our mothers, to us, and now to our children and grandchildren. As we transmit them, we celebrate each family's unique customs, but we also add our individual perspectives and creativity. For modern Jewish women this is indeed a "new dawn."
