Awareness, Advocacy, and Action: How Sisterhoods Can Use Their Voices for Change

At our spring event at Tifereth Israel of Lower Bucks County, Sharsheret, a national organization supporting young Jewish women and their families facing breast cancer, showed us how we can support our sisters fighting breast and ovarian cancer, utilizing real life examples from our guest speaker to one of our own members.

Enjoy the pictures below from the event.

OUR MISSION

From our president, Lori Snow

The Mid-Atlantic Region of Women’s League of Conservative Judaism (WLCJ) welcomes all sisterhood women to take part in our commitment to each other. Our Region Mission Statement states we “serve as a connection between WLCJ and its affiliates and members to provide services to strengthen the sisterhoods/women’s groups.” So we are a link for you into the larger world of WLCJ.This further enhances the Women’s League mission, which includes supporting our affiliates in mutual efforts to understand and perpetuate Conservative/Masorti Judaism in the home, synagogue and community; and reinforce bonds with Israel and with Jews worldwide.

This year’s Women’s League and Torah Fund theme focuses on the Hebrew word for “future” (atid). It represents our wish for a distinctly Jewish future, for ourselves as individuals, for our families, and our communities.

Please don’t hesitate to be in touch with me or any of our officers with any of your suggestions or concerns. Our Region Executive Committee offers help in all areas of Sisterhood assistance. As your Region President, I am ready to share your questions, goals and accomplishments. We provide access to our International Board which advises all of us and provides solutions, ideas, goals, education and support to everyone. Quite an organization of talented, organized and supportive Jewish women to help you make your Sisterhood the best it can be!
