Note from Sisterhood President
Shalom,
Launching our first digital sisterhood newsletter is a joy and a blessing. Our newsletter is designed to keep us all informed about the sisterhood's activities and connect us through them. We have sections with information about past and future events, a sister spotlight, advertising your service or business, and more.
Please let us know how we can serve you better. Stay involved; you are an essential part of our sisterhood!
Let's keep encouraging each other to pursue a closer relationship with Hashem and the body of the Messiah.
"I press on toward the goal for the reward of the upward calling of God in Messiah Yeshua."
Philippians 3:14 TLV
Love,
Mauxi
Sister Spotlight - Karla Rupp
We would like to highlight some of the wonderful ladies that make up our community, so for our winter newsletter we would like to acknowledge Karla Rupp! Karla has worked as realtor for the past 10 years. Karla has served as Sisterhood President in the past and is an active member of our KA community. We are very blessed to know her and grateful for the dedication, love, and wisdom she brings to our community. Karla's serving heart and unwavering commitment to building a strong, supportive sisterhood has made a lasting impact on all of us. We're honored to celebrate her and all that she continues to do for our Kehilat Ariel family!
Below you'll find some words that Karla would like to share with us:
Shalom! I join the entire Sisterhood in saying, we are all excited to work with our new and dynamic Sisterhood Board. I truly believe it’s going to be a great new year!
So as a believer of 40 years, if I was pressed to share with you, as I like to say, “what makes my heart beat,” I would have to say seeing believing women capture and walk in the goodness of God. Admittedly, it took me many years in my walk with the Lord to be planted in and grow roots, shall we say, in this concept.
This revelation came one day as I was studying (actually re-studying) the woman depicted in Proverbs 31, and particularly verse 25 that says, “. . . and she smiles at the future.” As I meditated on this verse, I realized that this was the key to getting through whatever storm, whatever hurt, whatever crushing disappointment, whatever doubt or fear we may have. If we have the assurance and trust that God ALWAYS has our good in mind; that He is always working things for our good; that He is attentive to our prayer and will bring His answer, His deliverance, in the best and perfect way, then we have learned the key to “smiling at our future,” having peace in our hearts that we can always rely on His goodness.
Psalms 25:8: “Good and upright is the Lord”

Recap - Recent Events
We’ve had an amazing time coming together as a community these past 3 months!
First up in August, we celebrated our beloved Roz's 75th birthday with a party that was a beautiful time filled with laughter, gratitude, and sharing in God's goodness. It was a special moment to honor her and all the joy she brings to our community.
Next in October, we rallied around the Landers as they welcomed precious baby Teddy into the world! A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the meal train to support them during this joyful, busy season.
And of course, we welcomed November with a fantastic Sisterhood Meeting. It was a time of connection, prayer, and looking ahead with hope as we continue to grow in faith and unity. So much positive energy, and we can't wait for what’s next!
Thank you so much to everyone who has participated and assisted with all these events. You are truly appreciated. Without all of you, we can't make any of this happen. As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas regarding sisterhood events!
Here’s to more moments of celebration and support as we continue to walk in the love and calling of Yeshua.
With Love,
Sarah Martinez
Event Coordinator

KA Sisterhood Stands with Israel
Our hearts break at what happened to our sisters and brothers during October 7. We can’t
even begin to imagine what they’ve gone through. We pray for the healing of the
victims, their families. And the rescue of the hostages. We know that their deep, deep
hurts can only be healed by HaShem, through the Ruach Hakodesh, in the Messiah
Yeshua.
Psalm 34:18 says, Adonai is close to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
“The Women of Kehilat Ariel stand with the Women of Israel.”
