What is Sisterhood?
Sisterhood works hard to bring education, religious, and social programs to our synagogue.

✡ Assist with community projects, such as iHelp, Asylum Seekers, Jewish Family & Children's Service, & others.
✡ Support Temple Emanuel's priorities and programs, such as camp scholarships, mitzvah projects, and community events.
✡ Monthly email communications about our activities, quarterly "Sisters in the Hood" newsletters, announcements & photos on our Facebook page.
...and the fun we have along the way!
