Womens Groups Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Women's Tefillah and study group meets Shabbat afternoons once a month, usually the Shabbat before Rosh Hodesh, Shabbat Mevorchim. We alternate studying together and davenning mincha. One month we gather to have a women's tefillah, read from the torah and have a short discussion on the parsha with refreshments and shmoozing, and the next month we gather to have a longer study session and discussion, of course also with refreshments and shmoozing. The group began with a women's Megillah reading on Purim and we have met to daven and read from the Megillah for three years now. We have had the pleasure of celebrating two Bat Mitzvahs on Purim, those of Leila Esther Dashevsky and Rebecca Ariel Pava and are proud of their accomplishments. There are lots of opportunities for involvement, ranging from leading prayers outloud, reading from the Torah or Megillah, leading a discussion, giving a Dvar Torah or bringing refreshments. If you are interested in becoming involved please contact Beth Perlman at beth-kissileff@rcn.com or Vivian Newman at mpava@aol.com. Women of all backgrounds and levels of knowledge enjoy our group and all are welcome!!!
