Sisterhood is sponsoring a Bereavement Support Group every Friday from 1pm-2pm beginning April 7th. The group will meet in Congregation Albert's library. The support group is open to all congregational members. The group facilitator will be Pearl Gross. If you have questions, please call Pearl Gross or Henri Courtnage.

Together we can help each other through this most difficult time.

Once again, Sisterhood will be sponsoring a congregational UNIONGRAM to each member of our 2000 Confirmation Class. Shavu'ot—the celebration of the giving of the Torah and the reading of the Ten Commandments—will be marked by the Confirmation of our 10th grade students on June 8, 2000.

Join with other members of the Congregation in sending your good wishes by UNIONGRAM.

Watch your April mail for the details! Contact Joyce Friedman for further details.
