We've been sharing some bios of women on our HJFS Women of History List. Last week, we shared information about the one-of-a kind Golda. Brenda Burjaw told us a...bout how Golda had influenced her even when she was tiny - enough to change her doll's name to Golda! We think that Brenda Burjaw couldn't have picked a better role model, and we love her for sharing this story with us! #GoldaMeir #WomensHistoryMonth #HJFS

Join us for Shabbat prayers, tomorrow morning at 10:00AM. If you'd like, you can connect now, before Shabbat begins.
