Sisterhood
 As members of Women of Reform Judaism, our Sisterhood is the backbone of our Temple.
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 kicked off the new fiscal year by taking it on the road to Stroud to link up with the members of Tulsa’s Temple Israel Sisterhood for Area Day: Wine, Women & Song at the Sparks Winery tasting room. We went by limo and enjoyed wine tasting, lunch and wonderful programming provided by Janiece Gratch and Leslie Perkel. You’ll hear more about this event in the September column.
By now, you have received your 2008-09 Sisterhood membership statement combined with a calendar of upcoming Sisterhood events. If you haven’t already sent in your dues, please do so. Thank you, Barbie Barton Greer, Membership Chair, for doing a wonderful job of updating our membership materials.
Our monthly Knitzvah and Caffe Pranzo events are Tuesday, August 12th. On Sunday, August 24th at 10:00am, you are cordially invited to our monthly Sisterhood Cookie Klatch led by Linda Aberson and Deborah Rubenstein. We will gather in the Temple kitchen to bake brownies, bars and cookies for our Onegs as well as enjoy each other’s company. (Pssssst! There will be real coffee!)
On Tuesday, August 26th at 6:30pm, we join with ES Sisterhood for Margaritas, Manicures & Massages around the pool at the Edmond home of Tammy Weiss. There will be hors d’oevres, margaritas as well as non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy while you get a manicure by Lynn Sauble and/or an extended chair massage by a certified massage therapist. This also will serve as our August Board/General Membership Meeting but the business portion will be minimal. Look for additional details in your mailbox soon. You won’t want to miss this evening of pampering.
