3TORAH FUND:BRENDA KATZ

In Judaism we have many holidays. Some are spiritual, some recall major events in our history and some "celebrate the season." All have"teachings" about our heritage and our customs. In order to understand this we look to our professional leadershipto help us learn anew or to recall where the teachings come from, that is why it is so important to have the finest, best-trained leadership for our Jewish communities. Your donation to Torah Fund helps to accomplish this.We "ask" only once a year. If you haven't already done so, please donate as generously as you can to the Torah Fund Campaign of Women's Leaguefor Conservative Judaism. Support our students, and the institutions that give them the very best Conservative/Masorti Jewish education, so that our teachings and traditions may be passed on from generation to generation. You understandthe impact of this act of tzedakah. Please make your check payable to Torah Fund, and mail it to Blanche Meisel c/o TBS and mark the envelope Torah Fund.Todah Rabah.Brenda Katz Blanche Meisel TFVP Special Gifts

ANNUAL DONOR BRUNCH:KIM MEMAR

Please join us at 10 am on May 21, 2014 at Spiedinis for our Annual Donor Brunch, where we truly enjoy having the opportunity to honor all of our women who have reached $100 or more in donor status. Last year we had 92 women who achieved this great honor and I strive to excel once again and go above and beyond that number-maybe even get to 100! For those of you who know me, I take great pride in having that number grow each year as it reflects the commitment and support of our women toward our Womens League and our Temple. If you dont quite understand donor or have questions about your donor, please call me at 429-0888 or email me at: memarkfas@cox.net. Look for your invitation in the mail, which will let you know where you stand with donor credits at this time. Dont forget, if you achieve $150 in donor credits you also get the donor pin or a new gemstone in the one you already have; complements of Aaron Lelah Jewelers. Please join us for a wonderful morning full of great accomplishments, good company and, of course, fantastic raffles - you wont want to miss this event!

WHAT A TREAT!!BRENDA KATZ

On March 28th Kim Memar and I flew to Burbank, CA, for the first ever PSW WL Retreat. Nestled in the rolling hills of the Simi Valley, we stayed at the Brandeis-Bardin Campus. The weather was perfect, the food really was delicious and the vendors offered beautiful merchandise. The speakers were great and the opportunities to learn about each other and ourself were amazing.

During free time there was the opportunity to take a nature walk and see for yourself the beauty around you. This area is the largest piece of property owned by Jewish people next to the State of Israel. Much to my surprise there were therapy horses, cattle and gorgeous peacocks you could see AND hear. Kosher wine tasting, Challah braiding, Havdalah candle making and even a game of Mahj were among the many activities offered. Different than the yearly PSW Spring Conference held in Irvine, CA, this Retreat was more about reenergizing us and the intimate atmosphere really lent itself to this goal. Our scholars-in residence were Rabbi Cheryl Peretz, Associate Dean, Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies and Rabbi Sara Brandes, now serving as California Director of Moving, whose father-in-law has been the designer of our Torah Fund pins for the last few years. They each offered such positive and insightful wisdom; it was inspirational.

Even without the comforts of homeno TV and no bathtubs (just showers) and no wifi I loved it, lived through it and am so glad I went. The Retreat was a treat for all who attended. Who knew? On March 30th, it was time to return home and tackle a house full of Hamatz.
