Shalom Sisterhood, which is an affiliate of Women of Reform Judaism/Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, was established in 1965 with less than 20 members. Its goal was to equip a kitchen when “we had a home of our own,” a goal they have fulfilled by equipping not only one, but two kitchens throughout the years!
To promote the welfare of Temple Shalom and its Religious School
To stress Jewish ethical and religious practices in everyday living
To stress the observance of the Sabbath and all Jewish festivals
To support and encourage youth activities and affiliations
To engage in civic and philanthropic activities
To carry out its mission, the women of Sisterhood operate the Judaica Gift Shop, publish the Temple Directory/Ad Book, prepare and serve the Oneg Shabbat, plan and organize Sisterhood luncheons, and hold a number of fund raising activities through the year.
While we can't be together physically for our famous luncheons, we will be continuing our monthly programs via Zoom. Information for joining these programs will be distributed via email. We look forward to when in-person luncheons will be possible again!
The Sisterhood Judaica Shop is open by appointment only. Please contact us at templeshalomsisterhood@gmail.com to schedule an appointment.
The yearly Mah Jongg tournament is a lively fundraiser that happens yearly at Temple Shalom to support the Sisterhood and our mission. All are welcome, and donations are appreciated for anyone who can't attend!
The Sisterhood book bag is a wonderful way to get together and discuss our great book picks for the month! For the Zoom meeting information or to register for Book Bag, please contact us at templeshalomsisterhood@gmail.com and indicate "Sisterhood Book Bag" in the subject line.
