(Continued from page 11) 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.
