Sisterhood Sukkot Program Thursday, September 23 ~ 7 PM on Zoom.
We will share a hand-made possession, whether made by you or by someone else. Bring your treasured object, which can be as fancy or simple as you want, and briefly share something about it - who made it, how it was made, and why it has meaning to you. Just a night to share something of our gifts and some Sukkot fun with each other.
We will shake our virtual lulavs and etrogs to welcome Sukkot!
Please RSVP to Evelyn Fair at evefair@hotmail.com by Tuesday evening so she will know how much time to allot to each person.
