Sisterhood Brunch with Hadassah Location: Congregation Beth Shalom Presenters: Onn Halfon, UD Hillel Shaliach and Director of Israel Engagement, will speak on "Women in Israeli Politics - from Golda Meir to Tzipi Livni. Onn will focus on recognized and less-well-known women who have taken leading roles in Israel. Onn, born and raised in Haifa, has worked with youth in Israel and abroad and served in the IDF as a combat engineer (demolition expert.) He is eager to share his knowledge of anything and everything Israeli. Ronit Lusky, Israel education consultant and lecturer, will share the podium to address the current challenges to Israeli women’s rights. Ronit will discuss the tensions between the secular and religious in Israel, and the ambivalence in Israeli society surrounding women’s rights and roles. Ronit is also an IDF veteran. She has an MA in Jewish History (University of Haifa) and was Director of the Ben-Gurion Heritage Institute, Tel-Aviv branch. In the U.S, she lectures and consults on Zionism and the History of the State of Israel.

Outreach Committee
The Sisterhood Outreach Committee, in conjunction with Immanuel Church and Olive Tree Ministries, has set up two fall programs at Hope House, the shelter for women in transition. The women are in their newly renovated home at 8th & Van Buren. The programs are one to two hours. There is street parking and we can arrange car pooling from Beth Shalom, if needed.
The women who have volunteered at Hope House before have enjoyed themselves immensely and the residents are so appreciative of our time and help. Why not give it a try?
