The women then enjoyed the first course of their gourmet lunch as they browsed the Kosher Cuisine cookbook with recipes culled from the monthly cooking class published in honor of the Luncheon.
Mrs. Tzivia Moscowitz, a regular attendee at many of the programs, shared her personal story and appreciation for all that Women to Women does throughout the year. As the women chatted they perused the wide selection of class tapes offered by Women to Women and many purchased sets of the lectures to review what they have studied.
Ms. Roxanne Perri, noted graphologist and keynote speaker then assumed the podium and commented that she was captivated by the assembly of women and programming of Women to Women. Ms. Perri distributed booklets of handwritten notes from the Rebbe, RaMBaM, Arizal and other great tzadikim and wove her analysis of their script into her explanation of how one’s soul is seen in one’s handwriting.
The participants were enthralled with Ms. Perri’s presentation and the overwhelming impact of the most successful Women to Women luncheon to date.
