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.
