But even more than the funds you donate, your willingness to offer your time really does make a di erence. As a sisterhood we have spent time making food for Winter Hospitality Over ow (a program that helps the homeless with shelter and food during the winter), picking vegetables and repacking food for the food bank, lifting drywall to construct homes, making phone calls and composing letters to our representatives, and helping those in our congregation who are in need. Your commitment to having a Jewish presence here in Vancouver, and all the countless other ways you reach out to mend our world have a lasting, positive e ect.
During these times where race, gender, socioeconomic status, and political issues seem to be dividing us, I pray that we will nd a way to rise above and join together to make real changes. Through our commitment, we shall overcome.

Hamentaschen
It’s time to start thinking about Hamentaschen. Every year, KAWRJ bakes more than 100 dozen cookies (yes, more than 1200!). They are served at the Purim Spiel oneg, and are also available for purchase at $7.25/dozen.
KAWRJ will be baking Hamentaschen on Sunday, January 14, from noon – 3:00 p.m., and again on Sunday, February 11 (time TBD). If you are interested, contact suemeyer18@gmail.com.
To order cookies, complete the paper (see page 6) or online order form (https://tinyurl.com/CKAcookies2018). Leave your orders by the gift shop in the Hamentaschen cookie tin or in the KAWRJ mailbox in the CKA o ce.
