Lilith Magazine Readers Salon
Not Oprah’s Book Club, but our very own Lilith Salons to discuss the issues that are near and dear to our hearts. Please join us as we meet quarterly to discuss articles from the most recent copy of Lilith Magazine, a Jewish publication that centers on issues that are important to us, as Jewish women. All you have to do is subscribe to Lilith, with our special order form, and come to discuss the issue. Transportation will be provided for those unable to drive in the evening. We are hosting 4 sessions per issue at 4 different locations. The first sessions, hosted in early December, were very successful. It gave our members an opportunity to better get to know each other while focusing on Jewish issues.
Please contact cheryllt@comcast.net for more information or a subscription form.

    WRJ Footsteps, Sunday Morning Walks
    A popular event from the Winter Retreat now available weekly. A great way to spend time with new and old friends, exercise regularly and beat stress through fresh air and sunshine. Sunday mornings at 9:15am

    Upcoming Events:
    • Brunch - Sunday, April 6 at 10:30am
      Great Works, Strange Stories -- co-sponsored by Cultural Arts and the Women of Reform Judaism. Great and inspiring works of art seldom spring fully-formed from the imagination of their creator into the grateful spotlight of posterity. We invite you to join popular international pianist and lecturer Dr. Rachel Franklin as she lifts the curtain on some of these compelling stories and explores the musical masterworks that springs from them. Cost is $15

    • Women’s Seder - Sunday, April 13 at 6:00pm
      This seder has proven to be not only a spiritual event but a very social event for our members. It gives us time to reflect, and enjoy the company of our “sisters”. The Seder is led by Cantor Boxt.

    • WRJ Shabbat Service -Friday, May 16
      If you would like to participate by reading a short passage during our special women's service, please contact Pauline at Pauline@duetcommunications.com
