Sisterhood
Temple Beth-El Sisterhood is a dynamic community of women united by a shared objective: to make a positive impact on each other, our congregation and the wider Jewish community. Join this vibrant community of women and together, we will achieve remarkable things!
Sisterhood offers a wide range of activities and programs, both educational and social, to engage the women of Temple Beth-El. We want our members to have fun, develop friendships and have new experiences.
