Sisterhood provides an organization where all can work together for religious, educational, and community concerns.Our committee structure gives each member an opportunity to participate in projects. Sisterhood contacts have often become the basis for lasting friendships.
Sisterhood serves our youth at Bar and Bat Mitzvot, Confirmation, during the religious school years and during college. Sisterhood makes dinners for various congregational events, sponsors a monthly meeting for its members and provides volunteer and financial assistance to the Religious School.
Sisterhood helps the Temple by maintaining a modem kitchen facility, preparing the Temple membership directory, managing the Temple Judaica Shop,and sponsoring the Mitzvah committee to serve our families in times of grief.
Sisterhood is an organization of women who band together in friendship for programs to benefit the Temple and the community, for social activities, for study, and, above all, for the growth of the individual so that each may find an opportunity to fulfill her potential as a person and as a Jewish woman. Sisterhood provides the arena for the individual to expand and grow in a Jewish atmosphere.
Sisterhood Mission
The mission of Temple B’nai Israel Sisterhood is to bring women together with a vision of spiritual, social, and intellectual growth who serve, educate, and enrich our Temple family and the greater community.

We had a blast at the Poker & Pizza Party! In addition to playing poker, we set up a table for our Mah Jong players. Diane Barton won the poker competition while Joyce Silver was the winner at Mah Jong. Door prizes winners were: Keri Bruss, Marcia Shaffer, Emily Rosenberg and Joyce Silver (who is no longer allowed to enter Sisterhood drawings having won more than her share or her prizes - just kidding). Thank you, Fa Abrantes-Pais for putting this event together!
