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 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 16 fabulous gals in attendance who have given of themselves time and time again over the years to lead and serve within our congregational family. In the absence of a president for our 2009-11 term, these fabulous ladies have committed themselves to serve on the Council of Past Presidents, guiding our board with their experience, giving council and direction when needed.
