Sisterhood

Thank you to all of our Sisterhood members.  We appreciate you, your generosity and what your dues have allowed Sisterhood to accomplish.  This year we will donate our usual $1,000 to the Shul’s Purim Mishloach Manot drive.  We have already given $1,000 to both our religious school, KoREH, and to our Monica Lynne Neidorff ECC.  When USY is allowed to have leadership training, we will help them also to go to out-of-town learning.  JUST ANNOUNCED: Our upcoming Torah Fund participation this year will honor VEREIN, our esteemed teachers, and the funds will be donated to our Conservative seminaries.

 

It has been another year of disappointments for getting together in person.  We had wanted to bring back our Trivia Night with Brotherhood this year, but the increase of COVID cases prevented that.  We had planned to have our Sisterhood Shabbat, Parasha Yitro, at the end of January. It needed to be postponed, hopefully now to be in the Spring, with Torah layners, daveners, participants and a Kiddush. Hopefully the ending of the omicron variant will be a true harbinger of an exodus from COVID.

 

We have recently read about the Exodus in the Torah, and the way to observe Pesach. In that vein, we are sharing one of Susan’s favorite Passover recipes, Fruit Nut Chews (tastes like an oatmeal cookie).

 

2C matzo meal

2C matzo farfel

1 ¼ C sugar

1t cinnamon

1t salt

1C chopped nuts

1C golden raisins

3 eggs, well-beaten

¾ C oil

¾ C mashed bananas

 

Combine dry ingredients, stir in nuts and raisins.

Beat eggs, oil and bananas together very thoroughly. Add to dry ingredients.

Drop by teaspoonsful onto well-greased cookie sheets (or use parchment paper)

Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

 

A healthy and happy Spring, Purim and Pesach,

Linda and Susan
