A

fter a three-year hiatus due 
to COVID-19, Adat Shalom’s 
Sisterhood was excited to bring 
back their annual spring fundraiser. With 
its new name, “Women’s Day @ Adat 
Shalom,
” the event was a huge success. 
The day included a wonderful variety 
of boutique shopping, a performance by 

comedian Judy Gold, the presentation of 
Sisterhood’s Woman of Distinction award 
to Joyce Berlin Weingarten, and a delicious 
lunch catered by Quality Kosher Catering. 
The event was planned by Chair Linda 
Levy, along with Sisterhood Co-Presidents 
Sharon Kaplan and Sandi Matz, and many 
dedicated volunteers.
