4:00 pm at Chisuk Emuna

Please join Chisuk Emuna volunteers along with other members of our community to help pack emergency food bags for homeless shelters in Harrisburg.

Sisterhood Book Discussion

Sunday, January 26th

10:00 am

Open to all congregants.

The Sisterhood book club will read Anita Diamant's Red Tent and discuss it in January. In the Bible, Dinah's life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters of the Book of Genesis that tell of her father, Jacob, and his twelve sons. The Red Tent begins with the story of the mothers--Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah--the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that sustain her through childhood, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land.
