Bessemer, Ala., Sisterhood
By Mrs. Isidore Green
For several years now, we Jewish
mothers felt a crying need for some sort
of religious guidance for these children
of ours who were coming up and who
would ask the inevitable question, “Why
can’t we go to Sunday School; all the
other children in Bessemer do?” Look
ing into the future, we could see that
immediately we must undertake the task
of insuring the religious status of our
children, so that not only would they
know that they were Jews, but that they
would know enough about their religion
to make them proud to be Jews. It was
with this thought primarily in view that
our present Sisterhood came into ex
istence. Through the untiring efforts of
Mrs. P. Pappas, our first chairman, and
the unselfish, hearty cooperation of Mrs.
Herman Rich, of Birmingham, we finally
got together and the Temple Sisterhood
came into being.
Immediately plans were made for or
ganizing a Sunday School and in this
effort we were particularly fortunate in
having as one of our members, Mrs.
Adolph Beck, who had had experience
along this line at Temple Emanuel in
Birmingham. We now have a vital liv
ing organization, one that is interested
not only in all phases of nationally feder
ated Sisterhood work, but also one which
through the capable leadership of Mrs.
Arthur Green, our President, has taken
its place and rendered its cooperation in
all civic betterment and endeavor. Our
other officers are Mrs. Harry Hart, Vice-
President; Mrs. Harry Newberg, Secre
tary; Mrs. Philip Ripko, Treasurer, and
Mrs. Isidore Green, Reporter.
Our average attendance at a Sister
hood meeting is between 20 and 25. We
meet at the various homes. Roll call is
generally answered with every member
giving a current event of Jewish interest
and after the regular business is disposed
of, we invariably have most interesting
programs, literary, musical, religious, etc.
We have been in existence only one
year and during that time our temple has
been redecorated, the Sunday School
firmly established, with Mrs. Nathan
Green and Mrs. Roland Seals in charge,
assisted by Miss Sybil Green; and the
necessary improvements made at the
cemetery. Programs have been arranged
for the various holidays and in every
instance we have had the hearty cooper
ation of our children as well as of the
members both of the Congregation and the
Sisterhood. Where heretofore we were
just Jews in Bessemer, we now are Jews
with the proud consciousness that we
have taken our place with all the other
religious and civic organizations in our
city. Our children know that they, too,
have a religion worth fighting for, a
religion that they are proud of and we,
in turn have the enormous satisfaction
of knowing that these shall not desert us.
How often has the spectre of religious
assimilation haunted us. How can our
young be interested in being Jews in par
ticular, when Judaism has never been
presented to them in a particularly in
teresting way. By satisfactorily answer
ing that question we, in this small town,
feel that if in no other way shall we
justify our existence, for this reason alone
it is all important that we stand by our
Sisterhood and look to the laurels of our
Youth, because in them we shall live
again and forever.
