Sisterhood

The Sisterhood of Temple Beth Am is a women's organization dedicated to Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), Brit Olam (sustaining Jewish continuity) & Kehillah (building community) in the Greater MetroWest community.  Sisterhood of TBA is an auxiliary of Temple Beth Am and an affiliate of Women of Reform Judaism.  

Sisterhood is committed to promoting the Jewish ideologies of Tikkun Olam, Brit Olam and Kehillah.  By working together towards implementing this vision, the women of Sisterhood inevitably develop strong bonds within the group and become an active partner with both Temple Beth Am and the TBA Brotherhood.

The Sisterhood of TBA is managed by a Board which consists of a President and three Vice Presidents, each responsible for the three tenets of Sisterhood mentioned above.  In addition, the past president, treasurer and membership chair also sit on the Board.
