My name is Eleanor Diamond. I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a sister. I work as the Clinical Supervisor of Braille Services at the MAB-Mackay Rehabilitation Centre and have served on the Board of Trustees at Shaare Zion Congregation for a number of years.
Over the years, I have observed the energy and commitment of our members and have been impressed with the diversity and depth of our programmes. As your new Sisterhood president, I am confident that Sisterhood will continue to play an active role not only in our synagogue but in the community at large.
I am honoured to assume the leadership of Sisterhood. I look forward to working with the talented women of this congregation to enrich the lives of our community. I see our Sisterhood as a group of women from all generations, from different backgrounds and occupations, who are committed to supporting our synagogue and the greater Jewish community. I am hopeful that our programmes and social events will create a sense of purpose, encourage volunteerism, and promote mutual respect and friendship.
Sisterhood can play an important role as the collective voice of women who work diligently together for the benefit of the Congregation. To succeed we need the support of all the women of the Congregation, mothers and daughters who share our vision of a vibrant Shaare Zion. All of us, whether we work inside or outside the home, whether or not we already volunteer elsewhere, whether or not we attend Shabbat services regularly, are all needed as members of Sisterhood.
Making the Sisterhood a vibrant part of our synagogue demands a strong team of volunteers. That’s why I will be speaking to many of you in the near future – I want your input as to how we can create a Sisterhood that means something to YOU.
I know we can build on our traditions and expand our vision to accomplish Sisterhood’s mission.
Finally, I would like to thank Celia Aberman, Carol Liverman, Heidi Majnemer and Sylvie Spivack for their support and encouragement.
