BTBJ Community
Sisterhood
The Sisterhood of Beth Tikvah B'nai Jeshurun Synagogue is an integral part
of the synagogue family. We are a group of women of various ages, occupations,
goals and interests, who have a very strong common bond — we are Jewish
Women committed to Judaism and its perpetuation. We provide educational programs
for our women, financial support to our Synagogue through fundraising projects,
service to our community and an avenue for friendship and camaraderie. Whether
it is attending a Program Meeting, organizing a fundraising event, leading
our Sisterhood Shabbat Service, reviewing a book or preparing for our Torah
Fund Dinner we feel connected to each other. We inspire and support each
other in times of need. Our Sisterhood helps our synagogue, our families
and ourselves.
We are part of the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, an international organization of more than 700 congregations that is dedicated to the perpetuation of traditional Judaism in the home, synagogue and community.
Join us and share in all that is special about our Sisterhood and Beth Tikvah B'nai Jeshurun Community.
