“Soupkot”

Our efforts for renewed thought and conversation about NCJW-MKE’s mission continued as NCJW Board members gathered for “Soupkot” in Robyn Eiseman’s sukkah. It was incredible to be together again after a long season of zooming. Board members enjoyed various warm soups and libations. Our honoree for the 125th event, Andrea Schneider joined us for a L’Chaim!

  • Margie Margolis, Kristal Melbye, Julie Lookatch, and Ruth Wallace enjoy soup and conversation in the sukkah.
  • Andrea Schneider and Susan Angel Miller celebrate Sukkot together.
  • Sue Strait and Barb Levin enjoy seeing each other in person.
