Buffalo Area Day
Held on September 15, Area Days are a great way to meet more of our nearby sisterhood members to learn and make new connections. This event was help at Temple Beth Zion in Buffalo, NY, and was an afternoon of learning about WRJ engagement, board communication, leadership, sisterhood, and lunch.

Fantastic Joint Broadway Event Between WRJ Northeast District and Atlantic District
The Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Jewish Broadway Event was held September 22nd at the Museum of Broadway in NYC. This was the first joint program between the WRJ Northeast District and the Atlantic District. Women from both districts got to know each other; hear an exclusive lecture by Barrie Gelles, a scholar on Jewish Broadway; eat; and visit the wonderful museum. It was a fun day for all and was made possible by an engagement grant from WRJ North America. We hope this is the first in a series of joint events.
