2009 Women’s League Shabbat

HEART & SOUL – that’s you. You are the heart and soul of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, as you are what makes Women’s League tick.

This Women’s League Shabbat booklet has been designed as a guide to aide you in preparing an educational, meaningful and spiritual experience for your sisterhood members. I encourage you to seek out and use the creative talents of your own women, as many of them have much to offer.

As we learn in Women’s League, no job should be done alone and so I personally would like to thank the following women who graciously gave of their time and knowledge in helping to prepare this guide: Cory Schneider, Women’s League President, and Naomi Rubenstein, author of the divrei Torah. In addition, I’d like to extend a special todah rabah to Lisa Kogen, Women’s League education director, for her guidance and wisdom.

I wish for every sisterhood within our Women’s League family to put forth its heart and soul in preparing and executing a wonderful, meaningful Anniversary Shabbat for its members.

B’shalom,

Sue Bengele
Women’s League Jewish Studies Chair
