Sisterhood

The Temple Beth Am Sisterhood programs include a variety of social, educational, religious, temple and community-based events all relative to these three principles – tikkun olam (repairing the world), brit olam (sustaining Jewish continuity) and kehillah (building community).

Programs include Sisterhood-led Shabbat services, caring committee well being check-ins, the Chanukah party and Purim carnival, co-sponsoring cookouts with the TBA Brotherhood, cooking classes, the Annual Christmas Day dinner mitzvah project for residents of local group homes for challenged adults, speaker series, comedy evenings to raise money for scholarship funds and more. We often partner with other organizations to co-sponsor programs surrounding women’s wellness, literacy efforts, food pantries, backpack supplies and Jewish culture.

Upcoming Sisterhood events are included in the TBA calendar.
