MEET OUR VP OF RELIGIOUS LIVING: LAINNA COHEN

We are thrilled to introduce Lainna (AKA Lani) Cohen, one of our two Co-VPs of Religious Living!�

✡️ This year, Lani is most looking forward to creating and reviving vibrant Religious Living events. Her goal is to bring both active and new members together in a fun, educational, and completely judgment-free environment for everyone!�

⚖️ Lani’s favorite quote perfectly captures her spirit: "My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent." — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg �

WORDS OF WISDOM: PIRKEI AVOT 1:2

As we step into the peaceful rest of this Shabbat morning, we are pausing to reflect on a timeless foundation from Pirkei Avot that perfectly anchors the mission of our Sisterhood.

According to Shimon HaTzaddik, the entire world stands on three essential pillars:

Torah — Continuous learning, curiosity, and growing our minds.
Service — Heartfelt dedication to something greater than ourselves.
Acts of Loving-Kindness — Showing up for one another with radical warmth and empathy.

When we invest our energy into these three things, we aren't just sustaining our community, we are actively helping to repair and build the world around us.

Which pillar resonates with you today? Let us know in the comments below!

MEET OUR CORRESPONDING SECRETARY: SANDY REDMAN

As we step into a new term, we are excited to introduce our newest board members. First up is our Corresponding Secretary, Sandy Redman!

💚 This term, Sandy is most looking forward to connecting and collaborating with our dynamic, inspiring group of women. She is incredibly excited to see what the board can build and achieve together for our community.

☀️ When those warm Indiana summers hit, you'll most often find Sandy simply kicking back in her backyard, soaking up the sun, and unwinding with a super cold beverage and her wonderful dogs by her side.

Please join us in giving Sandy a warm welcome in the comments below!
