Sisterhood of the Hillcrest Jewish Center

Dedicated to the memory of Libby Mowshowitz, z'l, Rebbitzen Emerita

"... to serve the cause of Judaism, by strengthening the bond of unity among Jewish women; by learning to appreciate everything fine in literature and to instill the beauty of our ancient observances in the hearts of all our members and their families." --Mathilde Schechter, Founder, National Women's League

Sisterhood Hi-Lites

I want to thank the committee that prepared for the dinner honoring our two past presidents, Estelle Cohen and Ethel Levine. Thanks to Esther Tokarz, Sherry Reisner and Fryda Kessel, we had a delightful dinner and a good time was had by all.

Please come to the paid-up member-ship luncheon on Monday, April 26th. We hope to have some entertainment at that time.

On Sunday, May 2nd, we are all invited to Queens College to a concert in Lefrak Concert Hall. Tickets must be ordered through Sisterhood or Men’s Club and requests must be made by April 20th. Through the generosity of Elsi Levy, the first 50 tickets will be free for Hillcrest members. If you would like to make a contribution to Sisterhood, the group rate for the ticket which is $12.50, is the suggested amount.

On Wednesday, June 9th, the region will be honoring Women of Achievement and Ethel Levine is representing our chapter. Please let me know if you will be able to attend the dinner in East Meadow.

Sisterhood Linus Project

The Linus Project group meets once a month on Thursdays at 10:30 A.M. in the Conference Room. The next three dates are April 8, May 13 and June 10. This letter was received from the Ronald McDonald House of NY, Inc.:

Thank you for your generous and thoughtful donation of 40 Blankets to the Ronald McDonald House of New York. Your donation is greatly appreciated.

Since 1979, we have served more than 8,500 families while their children are being treated for cancer. Help and support from groups or individuals like you allow us to provide for all of the families who come through our door.

Every day, children form friendships with other children and through these bonds, regain a sense of control and experience the fun of childhood.

Sincerely,
William T. Sullivan
