Dear Sisters,
Shanah Tovah to all! I wish everyone a very happy and
healthy New Year!!
As Jews all over the world begin this new year admitting
to sins, asking for forgiveness, and making decisions to
not repeat the sins, we use this time for self reflection.
This is not always an easy task but is one that if you are
true to your efforts, can result in positive change. While
traditional New Year’s resolutions are typically about losing weight, working out, doing well in school
and so forth, the self proclamation that comes to us during the high holidays is one that can truly
have a huge impact on your life and your relationships and can lead to lasting changes.
On to another reflection, our UNBELIEVABLE Tea Party hosted by our very own Adrienne Castiglio-
ne. For those fortunate enough to attend, there is no doubt you will agree what an amazing job was
done by all. I personally want to thank everyone for the tireless hours you put in to ensure success.
The detailed thank you note is later in the newsletter. As our first event of the year, I’m pleased to say we had close to 90 people in attendance. This included
many current Sisterhood members as well as new and prospective members. For those prospective members who attended, I welcome you and hope that you
will join me and the entire Sisterhood Board for future events. For those new and renewing members, I am excited you’ve decided to join us this year and hope
you will attend as many events as possible.
As all know, attending events is the easiest ways to build lasting relationships at the temple and within the Sisterhood. All member are always willing to open
their hearts to new and endearing friendships. Please take advantage of this amazing way to become integrated and build lifelong sisters.
We have some great events coming up over the next few months. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.
B’shalom,
Mindy Shanes

Membership Tea Thank You What a beautiful Membership Tea we had on Sept. 25! Adrienne Castiglione had a wonderful vision of what the day
should be and she made it all happen, with a little help. From the delightful decor, complete with lovely tables and tulle bows, to lots of delicious sandwiches, fruit, desserts, and of course teas, we all enjoyed the afternoon in style. The
Castigliones' backyard setting was perfect, and live harp music added just the right touch.
The Sisterhood Board was happy to welcome new, returning, and prospective members, as well as our ongoing
members. We numbered about 90!
There are many people who made the afternoon special.
If anyone was left off this list, please know we appreciate that you helped make a most memorable event!

calendars and save the date for this fun day of mah
jongg, food and prizes! Please note this tournament
is for experienced players who can play four games

You don’t have to be a member of Sisterhood to

Information will be sent closer to the time of the
event, but please remember to mark your calendars
now!
If you have any questions, please contact me at
[email protected], or 858-451-2228.
Thank you!
Debbie Savitzky, Treasurer
Our scrip program is an easy way to support Sisterhood AT NO COST TO YOU! Scrip is available at hundreds of mer-chants including restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets, department stores, coffee houses, movie theaters, elec-tronics, even online stores like Amazon, QVC and iTunes. To see a full list of participating merchants just log on to www.glsrip.com; at the bottom you will see a quick link to participating retailers. You pay the price of the gift card you are buying, just as you would at CVS or anywhere else. Sisterhood makes money by buying the cards at a dis-count, which can be anywhere between 1.5% and 20%, depending on the retailer. These are stores that you shop at every day, like Target, Walmart, Vons, Starbucks, Macys, Einsteins bagels!
If you want to place an order the easiest way is to first look up the vendors at the website, decide on the merchants you want and the denomination, and email your order to me at [email protected]. I place an order about once a month, and I will email you every month to remind you it’s time to place your next order. It’s really that easy! You don’t pay for the scrip until you pick it up at the Temple office. You will be notified by email that it is ready for pickup.
So please start thinking about back to school clothes and school supplies. Gift cards make great gifts for all kinds of occasions. Please try it out this month and place an order to see how easy it is.
If you have any questions please email me at [email protected], or call me at 858-451-2228. Thank you.

Here is your opportunity to bond with a small group of sisters while enjoying your favorite activities. Sister-hood Interest Groups (SIGs for short) are individual clubs that meet regularly and allow you to spend qual-ity time doing what you love with like-minded ladies. The cost for dues is just $10 per SIG for the entire year. (Note: many groups, such as Movies, incur costs associated with the activity over and above the cost of dues.)
These SIGs are currently accepting new members:
Movies We see a different movie each month at a nearby theater, and discuss it over lunch or snacks afterward.
Meeting time: Usually the 2nd Sun-day of the Month, with the movie usually starting around 11 AM.
How to join: Contact Marlene Garstang
Home: (858) 673-5600

Book Club Monthly book discussion led by vari-ous members throughout the year.
Meeting Time: 2nd Tuesday of the month at 10 AM in Suite A, Temple Adat Shalom

Daytimers Each month we do a different, fun activity! It could be going to a museum, to a movie, out to a restaurant, to a play, an exhibit, on a walk at the beach, or to a member's house for an activity such as games, a discussion on a hot topic, or a pot luck lunch, etc. Each month a different member is in charge of planning the activity. We are asking that the members who join this group make a commitment to the third Tuesday of the month. Of course, we understand that sometimes things come up and you can’t attend, but that you make this commitment and not plan other things for that date that you can do at any time. The maximum number for the group is 25.
Meeting Time: 3rd Tuesday of the month at 12:30 PM
