Upcoming Program
Book Discussion: Cassandra Speaks by Elizabeth Lesser
Thursday, Jan. 14, 7:30 p.m.
What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? And what about the fate of Cassandra who was blessed with knowing the future but cursed so that no one believed her? What if women had been the storytellers?
Cassandra Speaks is about the stories we tell and how those stories become the culture. It’s about the stories we still blindly cling to, and the ones that cling to us: the origin tales, the guiding myths, the religious parables, the literature and films and fairy tales passed down through the centuries about women and men, power and war, sex and love, and the values we live by. Stories written mostly by men with lessons and laws for all of humanity.
Open to all Barnert women and friends. Join us for an insightful and engaging discussion. Meeting link available the week of the discussion on Barnert's Virtual Community Page.

The Barnert Temple Sisterhood (BTS) is about sharing, spirituality, service and friendship. Sisterhood works to make our Temple life more beautiful, delicious and meaningful. Our contributions to the congregation and the community are numerous and significant. We have many diverse programs throughout the year that raise funds to support Barnert Temple as well as help charitable causes (tzedakah), and this year is no exception. We are also a proud member of the Women for Reform Judaism.
We are planning another full year of activities for all ages, stages and interests, including (but not limited to):
- Thought-provoking book and movie discussions
- Educational speakers on advocacy and key topics of interest
- Another spiritually uplifting Sisterhood Shabbat
- A moving Women's Seder
- Joint events with the Men's Club and Social Action
- Cooking programs
- Our fabulous Chanukah Boutique, where you can shop 'til you drop and fill all your gift and personal needs in one afternoon
- Countless charitable activities to support our congregation and the broader community
