About the Temple Emanuel Sisterhood



The Temple Emanuel Sisterhood is an organization of women interested in promoting and supporting events at the Temple, as well as getting together for friendship and fellowship within a religious setting. Monthly meetings are followed by programs reflecting the members' varied interests. Social and cultural outings, game nights, and speakers on topics of interest are open to all Sisterhood members.

The Sisterhood sponsors many different projects around the Temple. These include managing the kitchen, helping the Brotherhood with the annual Seder, and preparing the Erev Yom Tov Oneg on Rosh Hashanah and the Break-the-Fast on Yom Kippur. The Sisterhood also provides scholarships for youths who are participating in religious-related, out-of-town events such as the March of the Living and NFTY conventions.

The Sisterhood is also the sponsoring group behind the Gift Shop, the Oneg Shabbat hosts, and the Sisterhood Reads.

 

Looking for the perfect gift for Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Confirmation, Graduation, and other special occasions? Be sure to check out our Sisterhood Gift Shop.

Needlework Tapestry
