This year’s theme, hiddur mitzvah—beautifying a mitzvah—comes from the Song of the Sea (Exodus 15:2) regarding ways to glorify God. In addition to adorning ritual objects in aesthetically pleasing ways, we can enhance our personal spiritual practices through song, dance and kavannah/intention. Women’s League’s focus on building community, fostering friendship and creating bonds to the synagogue and Judaism are also ways of glorifying God. Judaism finds beauty in that which is eternal and everlasting, that which invites the Shechinah to dwell among us.
Be sure to join us for Women’s League Shabbat on January 27-28 when our members lead services and prepare Shabbat lunch. Our scholar-in-residence, Dr. Amy Kalmanofsky, will speak on “Dark Sisters and Sisterhoods of the Bible.”
Volunteers are always needed to help with programs. If you have even an hour occasionally, contact Volunteer Coordinator, Corina Waldman, at medrolmom@aol.com
