Chanukah Ball of A. A.
Sisterhood At Shrine
Mosque December 11
The principal money - raising
event of this season's activities of
the A. A. Sisterhood will culminate
on Tuesday, December 11th at the
Shrine Mosque when the annual
Chanukah. Ball will take place. The
proceeds of this dance will be used
in the work of the Sisterhood and
the organization urges the support
of the Jewish community.
Mrs. Abe Goldstein, General
Chairman of the Ball, reports that
many entertaining features have
been planned for the evening and
dancing will be enjoyed from 9:30
until 1 to the music of the popular
Delmar Swords and his ten-piece
orchestra.
Tickets may be secured by calling

Mrs. S. O. Klotz, who is now ser
ving for the second term as Presi
dent of the Ahavath Achim Sister
hood, has enjoyed remarkable suc
cess in her work. Under her lead
ership many of the younger women
of the congregation have become
Interested in the Sisterhood and
during 1934 the desire to erect a
Sunday school building has become
an Ideal toward which every vital
effort is being expended. Mrs. Klotz
states that the spirit of cooperation
on the part of the members is re
markable, and has been evident
since June 6, 1920, when a small
group of ladles interested in the
Ahavath Achim Synagogue met at
the home of Mrs. Jake Jacobs at the
request of Rabbi A. P. Hermes. On
that memorable afternoon the
beautiful work of the Sisterhood
began and it has always been an
amusing part of its history to relate
that the first President of the or
ganization was a male, Rabbi
Hermes.
At first, activities were confined
only to a small area of synagogue
work, the Sisterhood undertook to
make necessary repairs when call
ed on to do so, curtains began to
appear at the windows, and a wom
an’s touch was rapidly becoming
apparent in all phases of synagogue
life,
Later, the Sisterhood undertook
to sponsor the Sunday school of the
Synagogue and every detail, from
the cost of the books to the salaries
for the teachers, has since become
dts paramount obligation. Today
the Sisterhood proudly points to its
thirteen classes in which approxi
mately five hundred children are
taught their Jewish history each
Sunday morning. The staff o£
teachers is excellent, the curriculum
is well planned and every effort is
made that the. child enjoy his or
her work, and to provide all op
portunity for individual advance
ment. While primarily for child-
•ren of the Synagogue, the Sister
hood welcomes all those whose pa
rents cannot join and all privileges
are enjoyed by these children as
well.
