Look Forward to a Day with the Rebbetzin!

Rebbetzin's Yarchei Kallah


We will inaugurate on December 19 a monthly Rosh Chodesh Shabbat program for women with Yocheved Krimsky sharing with us what she learned at the Rebbetzin's Yarchei Kallah.  We will enjoy each other's company, learn and share the waning moments of Shabbat together
(4:00pm 153 Belltown Road - children welcome).
 

Scrapbooking with the Rebbetzin

The evening will continue from 7 to 9:00 pm with a fun scrapbooking workshop...

Scrapbooking is a method for preserving personal and family history in the form of photographs, printed media, and memorabilia contained in decorated albums, or scrapbooks.

What Yocheved says about scrapbooking: "One of the best parts about scrapbooking is getting together with other scrapbookers - join us!"

What to bring:  Please bring 5-10 photos OK to trim, cut, decorate or otherwise play with. If you want to use heritage photos, please make copies and only bring the copies. Bring photos of people, events, things that are important in your life or in the life of someone(s) close to you and are good clear photos. No duds or fuzzy photos. We will be making photo gifts and photo cards.

Facilitator:  Katie Kelley is a Stamford native and has been teaching scrapbooking and photo organization in the greater Stamford area for over 15 years. She specializes in helping folks find the how and the why of managing their photos and then having fun with them- whether it is making a traditional scrapbook or learning how to master the new techniques of digital memories or creating a craft . She offers technique classes, 'crops', as well as her popular 1:1 consultations and sessions. Her passion is helping folks realize the power of their photos and stories to impact their families, friends and the future. Her favorite quote that guides her focus in her business is from Psalm 78 - "We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord" (shortened).
