January 2025 Sisterhood Events and News
A trip to Jewish Richmond
Sunday, January 19th from 8:00 am - 6:30 pm.
Please join us on a day trip to explore Jewish Richmond. We’ll travel by chartered motor coach (with WiFi and restroom). Our first stop will be the Virginia Holocaust Museum. Our docent led tour will include a chronological journey through the Holocaust. The museum has over three hundred artifacts and includes the testimonies of local Holocaust survivors. The museum includes a German Transport Box Car, the Children's Memorial and the Jewish-American Hall of Fame.
Following our tour, we’ll have lunch at the museum. Bring your own lunch, or use the link below to order a boxed lunch from Panera (all lunch orders must be made at the time of registration).
After lunch, we’ll continue on to Reform Congregation Beth Ahabah. Founded in 1789 as Kahal Kadosh Beth Shalom by Spanish and Portuguese Jews, it is one of the oldest synagogues in the United States. Our visit to Beth Ahabah will include a visit to its Museum and Archives, where stories of Richmond’s long Jewish history are retold in four galleries of changing exhibits.
This trip is organized by the TBO Adult Education Committee, which is subsidizing the trip, allowing us to offer it to our congregants for a fee of only $33/person. This fee includes transportation and admission to both museums.
Click here to register by January 2.

Considering the Arts Discussion
Please join us on Sunday, January 26th at 3:00 pm for a fascinating conversation about the visual and performing arts, lead by Ellen Shepard, documentary filmmaker and former Assistant Professor of Theatre & Film at Saint Augustine’s University. This is not a class; it is a conversation between those of us who love the arts.
Discussion topic: Consider how colors are used and depicted in motion pictures and paintings. For those who register, Ellen will send out some examples to use during the discussion.
Please RSVP on Team Reach under Other Events, by clicking on the calendar icon. You will find all of the details for this event there.
