Congregation Shaarey Zedek Sisterhood

10/14/2025

🤩So many fun and meaningful events coming up with Sisterhood! 👯‍♀️

Kicking it off, our Paid-Up Membership Event is 🇲🇦 “Moroccan Muses & Masterpieces,” celebrating our spirited commitment to CSZ Sisterhood. Connect with sisters 6-8 pm Wednesday, Oct. 22, at the Creative Arts Studio in Royal Oak. Feast on a savory 🍵 Kosher Moroccan-Themed dinner, then create your pottery masterpiece (we’ll supply the Jewish-themed stencils). ✡️

A note from Yvette Rivas Diamond: “I was so inspired by a Jewish tour of Morocco that I wanted to present you ladies with a joyous experience to taste the flavors of Morocco and express your artistry through painting some pottery with your CSZ Sisters.”🕍

We’re excited to share a Mo-Rockin’ great time with you! And stay tuned for more exciting events in October and November!⚡️

DID YOU KNOW?👩‍⚕️

1 in 40 Ashkenazi Jews - men and women - carries a BRCA gene mutation, more than 10x the rate of the general population, making Jewish families significantly more susceptible to hereditary cancer, which could include breast, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, melanoma or male breast cancer.

Sephardic Jews may also be genetically predisposed to hereditary cancer, but their risk to carry a BRCA mutation has not been identified to be as high as the risk for Ashkenazi Jews. If you or someone in your family has tested BRCA+ or carry another gene mutation — whether or not you have been diagnosed with cancer — Sharsheret can help.

Sharsheret is one of the nation’s leading Jewish cancer organizations, with an expansive support network, resources for financial assistance and more.

Sharsheret also has resources and connections for families of those recently diagnosed and can provide genetic conversations to those who are looking to find out more about their heritage and connection to familial cancers.

Sharsheret is a nonprofit dedicated to providing personalized support, education, and community for Jewish women facing breast and/or ovarian cancer.
