SISTERHOOD IS THE ORGANIZATION FOR ALL WOMEN OF THE CONGREGATION
Be part of a group of caring women who believe that we can make a difference in our Temple, in our community and in the community at large. Come join us and expand your horizons, make new friends and have some fun.
We meet for social and spiritual activities, for study, and above all, for the growth of the individual so that each woman may find an opportunity to fulfill her potential. Sisterhood provides the arena for women to expand and grow in a Jewish atmosphere.
