a variety of produce utilized in the hospital’s Henry’s Cafe.
Items include kale, Swiss chard, chives, parsley, rosemary,
lavender, stevia, mint and microgreens. The sisterhood
women were encouraged to nibble on some of the crops.
“I loved the garden tour,” said Pearlena Bodzin of
Congrgation B’nai Moshe. “Who knew there was a natural
garden as part of the hospital?”
With socialization the primary goal of the evening, Leib
Ragowski said she “enjoyed the opportunity to connect”
with sisterhood members from other synagogues.
Bodzin, Moss Lebovic and Hildebrandt also spoke to
members of other sisterhoods, often women they knew but
hadn’t seen lately.
Women happy about the event have asked Lash, “Can’t
we do this a little more often?”
She’s considering something for this summer if the vari-
ous sisterhoods get involved in the planning.
Lash encourages women of all ages to participate in
their synagogue sisterhoods. They’re where “women form
long-lasting friendships that they may not have had prior to
belonging … It’s true for me.” •
