Sisterhood
Temple Beth-El’s Sisterhood is a place to find friendship, warmth, sharing, and make new connections to the women of our congregation. We provide opportunities for personal and spiritual growth, and fulfillment in a Jewish atmosphere, through social and learning experiences. Sisterhood supports the Temple community through volunteerism, leadership, and financial assistance as well as affiliation with the Women of Reform Judaism [WRJ].
Sisterhood offers a wide range of activities and programs, both educational and social, to engage the women of Temple Beth-El. This year we took a virtual tour of the RBG exhibit at the Holocaust Museum and a tour of Chicago’s “Talking Statues,” enjoyed stories told by a Jewish story-teller, rocked to the music of Billy Joel and The Beatles, and had monthly, albeit zoom, meetings of our ever popular book club. We contribute annually to a summer camp scholarship for Temple Beth-El children, we stay in touch with Temple Beth-El college students through our College Connection holiday boxes, and we oversee the Temple gift shop. In addition, we have an ongoing initiative to help feed our neighbors who are experiencing food insecurity.
Our programs and meetings are listed on the calendar and below. Please call the Temple office at (847) 205-9982 for more information about Sisterhood. Your membership and participation in Sisterhood are vital components of our temple life.

Jewish Holiday Care Packages for College Students
The College Connection Team of Temple Beth-El Sisterhood wants our college students to keep in contact to Jewish life and to their Temple Beth-El family while away from home. Four times a year (Rosh HaShanah, Chanukah, Purim and Passover), the College Connection Committee sends your students Jewish holiday gift packages loaded with delicious baked goods and fun treats.
