Torah Fund Appreciation Event

Every spring, Sisterhood holds a special Torah Fund event where they honor the members of our community who donated to the Torah Fund in the last year. This year's speaker is cantorial student Marilyn Okoshi. Ms. Okoshi practiced law for about 30 years and recently has transformed herself from corporate, transactional, and regulatory lawyer to cantorial student.
