B’nai Tzedek Sisterhood is an active, vibrant, community of women of diverse interests, ages, and Jewish backgrounds. We share a desire to make a positive contribution to  synagogue life and to be a part of a warm, supportive community.

Our goal is to have 100% of the female members of the congregation to join Sisterhood. Our members enjoy meeting new people and connecting with our community. Many of us are working full-time and/or overcommitted with other responsibilities, but we find our time with Sisterhood gives  us renewed energy for all the things we do. However, regardless of your involvement with programs or volunteer efforts, we hope you will join to enable us to continue to support our various contributions to the synagogue and community.

 

 

Come to a program or event. We offer many social and educational activities to appeal to our broad membership. These include: book discussions, visits to museums, movie nights, educational programs, social action programs, fitness programs, cooking programs, holiday events. We survey our members and develop programs based on their interests. If you are interested in a program that is not offered, we would like to know and would like to consider offering it. Take a look at our calendar. Or contact our Program Vice Presidents: Remy Freeman or Stacy Gorin.

 

Volunteer. We welcome volunteers. Volunteer opportunities allow you to make a small commitment of time while you help make a positive contribution to our synagogue community…and get to meet new people. No experience is necessary. We will train you. Some of our major volunteer efforts are through: 

 

·        Mitzvah/Chesed (Caring) Committee

·        Judaica Shop

·        Friday Morning Kiddush Preparations

·        Purim, Mishloat Manot Baskets.
