The Who, What, Why of Sisterhood

 
 
 

What is Sisterhood?

Sisterhood is the organization of the women of Temple Beth Tikvah who come together for friendship, social activities, study, and programs to benefit our Temple, our community, and ourselves; and work as a Jewish woman in a Jewish atmosphere.

Why Sisterhood?

Sisterhood is a voice and strength of Jewish women within the structure of Temple Beth Tikvah.  It provides the setting in which women meet and work together for the congregation, developing projects in which they are interested and wish to be involved.  Sisterhoods cooperate with other community organizations, Jewish and non-Jewish, to achieve faster and more effective results.

What does Sisterhood do?

Sisterhood includes activities and programs that its members feel would be valuable to them, their families, their congregation, and to their communities. 

 The weight of the opinion of Women of Reform Judaism is made known in world affairs through its United Nations affiliation and, in national affairs, through advocacy.  Fundraising remains a part of the Sisterhood program, to help finance religious school, our library, our Temple itself and our community activities.

 Why does Sisterhood need you?

Sisterhood needs the support of the women of Temple Beth Tikvah.  All of us, whether mother, daughter, sister, aunt, or wife who are members of our Temple, are needed as members of our Sisterhood.   We live in a complex, complicated world.   More women are working, if not full-time, then part-time.  Family structure is changing.  Sisterhood is a way of belonging, being a part of a group and being given the chance to make a significant contribution to our society, our family and ourselves.
