Hadassah News!
We hope the spring season will be in full bloom soon. The daffodils and tulips remind me of all of the bulb sales we used to do as a Hadassah fundraiser. They are a beautiful reminder of our chapter’s efforts in the past.
We are planning a brief meeting on Wednesday, April 25 at 11:00 am. Plan to stay after- wards for the Rabbi’s monthly brown bag.
Keep collecting your loose change in your Hadassah Tzadakeh boxes. We will be turning them in during our closing luncheon meeting in May.
See you around the Temple.

Sisterhood News!
We had a good turnout for our general meeting on March 25. The membership approved the spending for the floors in the Sisterhood room, temple office, and the Rabbi’s study once the source of the leak has been found.
Watch for information about the next general meeting coming up in May.
There will be a board meeting on April 22 at noon in the educational building.
Wishing everyone a good Passover.

April Mensch of the Month!
Nancy Rosenberg has been a familiar face in synagogue activities since she was 3 months old. Her parents, Seymour and Linda Rosenberg relocated from Niagara Falls, N.Y. to Spartanburg, S.C. for work, an active life within Congregation B’nai Israel, and to raise their four children.
For Nancy, childhood in the congregation meant growing up in “one big family.” Adults were called “aunt and uncle.” Her friends from the synagogue were also her friends at school and in social events. The Synagogue was the center of both religious and social life. Nancy remembers how well-attended services were and very large Onegs.
One of the happiest and proudest moments in Nancy’s life was her Bat Mitzvah. She conducted Friday night service and chanted her Haftarah.
As an adult, Nancy enjoys being involved. She serves on the care committee with Sandy Smiley.
Her participation includes visiting people in their homes bringing candy and baked goods to brighten their day. Nancy has served in sisterhood activities throughout her adult life and is past president of our local chapter of Hadassah. Her lemon and almond pound cakes are famous sellers at the Sis- terhood Annual Bake Sale for which Nancy bakes 12.
Judaism with its prayers, customs and traditions means continuity for Nancy. The continuity brings her a great deal of comfort in her spirituality as well as reaffirmation in life.
