Sisterhood

The Sisterhood of Temple Beth Am is the women's organization, which welcomes and embraces women from our congregation as well as women from the MetroWest Jewish community at large to participate in social activities, community service activities, programs promoting Judaism and personal growth, and most importantly to make new and lasting friendships.

The heart of Sisterhood of Temple Beth Am is our women volunteers who give so unselfishly of themselves to carry forward our programs and activities each year , for example, Purim Carnival, Model Seders, Boutique Night, Shabbat services for Jewish nursing home residents, Yom Tov Parties, Rummage, et al. Check the Calendar.

Through the year, Sisterhood also contributes financially to enhance the physical appearance of Temple Beth Am and supports many of the ongoing Temple-wide programs, for example New Member Shabbat dinner, Sisterhood/BATY Shabbat service, educational programs for the Temple's Judaica and Hebrew School Programs. It is through the loyal support of our membership that a broad calendar of programs are scheduled. Here are just of few of what sisterhood offers:

  • Caring Committee - reaching our to our members in time of need.
