ENCOURAGEMENT FOR WOMEN IN THE PRESENT: A LOOK BACK TO WOMEN OF THE PAST

Feminism, Female Protagonists, and Finding Ourselves in Biblical Narratives — reformjudaism.org

BELLE FLIGELMAN WINESTINE

EDITOR’S NOTE: This year is the 100th anniversary of the passing of the 19th amendment, which guarantees all american women the right to vote. Beginning in the 1800s, women wrote letters, organized, petitioned, picketed, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to win the right to vote, which many regarded as a radical change in the U.S. Constitution. Few of them lived to see the final victory, but the 19th Amendment was passed by Congress on June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920.

MONTANA ZOOM HADASSAH SHABBAT: JUNE 12,

Dear All,

Our planned June 12 Hadassah Shabbat at Beth Shalom Synagogue in Bozeman is still on… but it’s VIRTUAL! Now the whole chapter has an opportunity to enjoy the Shabbat service in Bozeman.

The rabbi has 6 readings available for Hadassah members who want to participate – please email me directly at Nancy Oyer neogeo@montana.com by May 31st if you would like to be honored with a reading in English or the Shema in Hebrew.

RECAP:

What: Zoom Shabbat Service (Link to come in a couple of weeks)
When: Friday night June 12, 2020, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. MST
Why: Honor Hadassah, Connect, Engage (old and potential new) Members in Bozeman

Our chapter planned to sponsor (buy the food and drinks) for the oneg Shabbat (the “joy of Shabbat”) after services. There will, of course, be no oneg this time, but we can still get the word out about Hadassah, reach out to the Beth Shalom community, and connect with one another. We will host an oneg there in the future.

Look forward to hearing from you soon, and stay tuned in the next few weeks for the Zoom link to participate in the Hadassah Shabbat at Beth Shalom in Bozeman.

MONTANA HADASSAH: PRAYERS AND CARDS NEEDED

From Nancy Oyer, Butte, MT

Dear All,

I just got a call asking for prayers for our lovely life member Donna Johnson from Philipsburg – who you may remember meeting if you were at our annual event in Big Sky. She was there with her husband Richard – they are members of Congregation B’nai Israel in Butte. Another of our members who called me said all she knew was that Donna just came home from the hospital against medical advice, so she could be with her husband, and called asking for prayers tonight. I don’t know many details as I didn’t even know Donna was in the hospital. Please keep Donna in your prayers and if you can send a card immediately, please send it to:

Donna Johnson

Philipsburg, MT 59858

Thank you.

FUTURE PLANS, BY RABBI RUZ GULKO

First of all, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

I miss all of you, and it seems unreal that I won’t be able to actually come there for a long time! We are living in the strangest time ever, right?

But I want to share with you my thoughts moving forward.
Regarding monthly study sessions: I think it would be wonderful to designate the first Saturday of each month for a 60 minute class/workshop. Y’all can suggest any topic you want, or leave it up to me, or some hybrid thereof.

Now, I hate to say this, but you’ve probably already figured out that I won’t be able to come for the HighHolydays. Flying just won’t be safe enough for me until there is a vaccine. Given that fact, I’d love to brainstorm with y’all about doing Zoom services of some kind. Taking the proverbial lemon and turning it into lemonade! 😁
Let me know what y’all think about these ideas soon, please.

Sending hugs to everyone!
💜😘
