SISTERHOODS PREPARE MOTHERS’ DAY MESSAGES
The growth of the custom of sending unlongrams, messages prepared by the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, on Mothers’ Day has resulted in the preparation of a set of model messages which have been distributed among the various sisterhoods throughout the country for use on May 13.
The uniongram will be used by sisterhood members in greeting their parents and will be distributed by local sisterhoods for use of children in the religious schools. A majority of the sisterhoods use the funds derived from the sale of uniongrams for the purpose of providing scholarships for students at Hebrew Union College.
