What Sisterhood Does
Scroll down to see this year’s schedule of events and meetings.
Sisterhood is a vibrant and active group that plays many key roles in the daily life of Beth Shalom. Sisterhood offers opportunities to connect with other women in the Beth Shalom community while supporting the synagogue, community tzedakah projects, and having fun. Most importantly, Sisterhood is always there for its members and the Beth Shalom family, in times of sorrow and times of simcha.
Sisterhood:
- offers social events such as the Annual Paid Up Members event, “Chick Flick and Chocolate” movie nights, cooking demos, and classes
- holds fun baking days for fundraisers like our Thanksgiving pies and Purim hamantashen
- provides mishloach manot gift bags with Purim treats and home delivery to local congregants
- provides holiday extras such as Yom Kippur break-the-fast and hamantashen at Purim
- provides siddurim for the third-grade class on its consecration and gifts for bar/bat mitzvahs and the confirmation class
- funds an upgraded Zoom account and shares our access with the synagogue board, religious school board, Men’s Club, and other committees
- directly funds or provides sponsorship funding for:
- building and other improvements that make Beth Shalom warm and welcoming
- synagogue events and fundraisers
- synagogue social action projects such as the Cold Weather Shelter
- religious school wish list items
- youth and synagogue projects
