GOSHEN, NY [CHI] — Chabad’s Jewish Women’s Circle enjoyed inspirational and creative programs throughout the winter. One winter favorite was an uplifting and soulful concert with singer/songwriter Shoshana Bander of Brooklyn. The concert, “Listen to the Light” was enjoyed by over fifty women from throughout the County. “Shoshana intertwined moving and educational stories throughout her performance,” says Chana Burston, who leads the Jewish Women’s Circle and co-directs Chabad of Orange County with her husband, Rabbi Pesach. “Women from all affiliations and backgrounds came to enjoy the concert, and as we danced and sang together, there was a strong sense of unity among all the participants.” Afterward, all enjoyed a fabulous “lattes bar” and café themed desserts.
