Be part of Torah of Our Own. Our scribe, Rabbi Moshe Druin, will be on hand as you join the temple community in writing a letter in Temple Jeremiah's Torah scroll. Then join Sisterhood for a moving Seder celebrating women and their roles in the liberation of the Jewish people during the Exodus.

Cost of the Seder is $15 for Sisterhood members and children ages 13 and up and $18 for guests. You are asked to bring a salad, side dish or dessert for 6 to 8 people. In addition, you may include a donation to the American Jewish World Service's Haiti relief efforts with your payment.

Please submit the names of guests along with your check payable to Temple Jeremiah Sisterhood to the temple office, 937 Happ Road, P.O. Box 8209, Northfield, IL 60093 by March 10. Please advise of any seating requests. If you need a ride to the seder or have any questions, please contact Barb Kite.

In addition, Sisterhood is putting together a collection of Passover recipes to share among its members. Be part of this memorable project by submitting your favorite holiday recipes to Deb Dreyfuss-Tuchman by March 10.
