| RJC Women's News |
| After a two year absence of a Sisterhood in the RJC, four young
energentic women decided to join forces and re-establish a women's group. We changed the
name to RJC Women, decided what our goals would be, formed committees, and got to work. We
united the Shul at our Pre-Purim luncheon, which was a huge success. It is the obligations
of every RJC Woman to be a member - so women of all ages join us and make the year 2000
record one for RJC Women's membership. In our effort to serve the synagogue and
community as well as to add meaning to the lives of Jewish women we have done the
