Sisterhood welcomes all female members of our congregational family to become a part of this exciting and active group. Offering friendship, shared vision, learning opportunities, personal growth, and involvement in Jewish life, Sisterhood’s goal is to address the needs of our diverse group of women while providing services to the Temple and Jewish community at large.  Representing women of varying interests and busy lives, Sisterhood welcomes your fresh ideas with great enthusiasm.

 As an essential part of our synagogue, we are involved with the efficient functioning of our congregation. Sisterhood’s efforts include:

§         Organizing and setting up the Oneg Shabbat each week

§         Planning and preparing for our Interfaith dinner event

§         Providing the pulpit flowers

§         Presenting gifts to each of our B'nai Mitzvah, as well as awards, to graduating students

§         The Sisterhood Judaica Shop offers a diverse selection of beautiful items for members of the congregation and the community including Tallitot and kippot.

In addition to these activities, on the first Friday of several months Sisterhood hosted Kabbalat Shabbat Dinners/Speaker Symposia following services. These events were highly successful, attracting an average of over one hundred participants each time.

Plans are in high gear for stimulating and refreshing new programs with daytime and evening meetings. It is our hope that our programs will foster individual development, increase our Jewish knowledge and nurture friendships. We welcome your participation in all of Sisterhood’s projects and invite you to become a member of Sisterhood, to participate in our activities and to add your voice to our group.

Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

De Rosnay's U.S. debut fictionalizes the 1942 Paris roundups and deportations, in which thousands of Jewish families were arrested, held at the Vélodrome d'Hiver outside the city, then transported to Auschwitz. Forty-five-year-old Julia Jarmond, American by birth, moved to Paris when she was 20 and is married to Bertrand Tézac, with whom she has an 11-year-old daughter. Julia writes for an American magazine, and when her editor assigns her to cover the 60th anniversary of the Vél' d'Hiv' roundups, Julia soon learns that the apartment she and Bertrand plan to move into was acquired by Bertrand's family when its Jewish occupants were dispossessed and deported 60 years before. She resolves to find out what happened to the former occupants: Wladyslaw and Rywka Starzynski, parents of 10-year-old Sarah and four-year-old Michel. The more Julia discovers—especially about Sarah, the only member of the Starzynski family to survive—the more she uncovers about Bertrand's family, about France and, finally, herself.
