The Sisterhood at Shaare Zedek has a long and strong history. The women who began it and nurtured it have left us a rich legacy and a strong Sisterhood. Our diverse membership encompasses Shaare Zedek members of all ages and interests who work together to promote Jewish learning, sisterhood, and community. If you are not already a member of our Sisterhood, please join us! We are excited to have your input and your help!
We proudly belong to the newly reconfigured IntraContinental Region of the Women's League for Conservative Judaism.
Locally, our Sisterhood shows its dedication to the synagogue in many ways:
- We support Jewish summer camp scholarships.
- We help defray costs for USYers attending conventions.
- We contribute to purchases that benefit the Shaare Zedek Early Childhood Center.
- We dedicated the Book of Numbers - Ba'midbar - during the Torah Campaign.
- We provide Meals on Wheels.
- We give to the Rabbi's and the Hazzan's discretionary funds.
- We donate generously to the Mishloach Manot project every year.
- We contribute to the synagogue's general operating fund.
- We maintain the meat and dairy kitchens, and we offer the best Shabbat Kiddush west of the Mississippi.
- We advocate involvement in local and state issues.
- We promote Jewish learning and create holiday programs that provide an interesting, fun Jewish learning experience.
