Please join Sisterhood as we honor Amy Rubin, this year’s Woman of Valor. Amy’s dedication to Temple Beth-El spans nearly four decades, first as a congregant and lay leader, and since 2014 as our Executive Director. A past president, treasurer, and trustee, Amy brings extraordinary commitment, wisdom, and heart to everything she does. From welcoming new families and knowing each congregant by name, to supporting our clergy, staff, and lay leaders, Amy is truly the heart of our congregation. Often the first to arrive and the last to leave, Amy uses a “Torah of love” philosophy to make TBE a safe, welcoming, and vibrant Jewish gathering space.
In the Book of Proverbs Chapter 31, a Woman of Valor is called Eshet Chayil— a woman who is strong, yet compassionate; wise, yet humble; and courageous, yet gracious. Her beauty is not measured solely by her outward appearance, but by the depth of her character, the kindness of her heart, the wisdom of her words, and the strength of her spirit. A Woman of Valor touches lives, inspires others, gives generously of herself, and makes a difference in her family, her community, and her Sisterhood. Amy is truly a Woman of Valor!
Amy’s hard work and dedication will be celebrated at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8 in the kitchen social hall. The evening will include a catered dinner, beverages, and dessert. The event is free for paid-up Sisterhood members and $25 for non-members. RSVP here by December 1 to reserve your seat at the dinner.
And as is Sisterhood’s custom, donations for Safe+Sound will be collected at the dinner and matched by Sisterhood. Safe+Sound Somerset is the only organization in Somerset County providing comprehensive services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
