Sunday, March 5, I attended a special Day Celebrating and
Honoring the Sisterhoods of Pacific Southwest Region of Women’s League at the
American Jewish University. This year
Women’s League is celebrating their 100th anniversary and Torah Fund
their 75th anniversary. Dr.
Robert Wexler, president of the American Jewish University since 1992 was our
keynote speaker. Rabbi Bradley Artson,
Dean of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies
spoke about social justice, human dignity, diversity and inclusion. We then had a panel of five women of accomplishment
which included Danielle Berrin, senior reporter and columnist with the Jewish
Journal. She covers culture, politics
and women’s issues. Journalism is a
challenge which leads to truth but shows the corruption and power sometimes. The news should be verifiable fact and not
an emotional fact.
Thru Women’s League (WL) we cultivate lifelong friendships as
women work, socialize and celebrate together.
WL helps you train for leadership and provides all the support you
need along the way. Learning is at the
heart of WL. Our
support of the Torah Fund campaign ensures that another generation of
Jewish educators will be here for us for our children and grandchildren which
benefits our Sisterhood and Synagogue.
For those who have not contributed, we really need your
contributions. Please write your check
to V. B. I. Sisterhood, Torah Fund to help.
Again, thank you for your continued support of Torah Fund.
