Temple Emanu-El offers the incredible women of our temple the opportunity to come together for friendship, spiritual and social activities, educational programs and projects to enrich and benefit our temple family. Our goal is to provide financial support to the religious school while forming connections among like-minded women. No matter your age, we encourage you to join us as we come together for a wide variety of social and learning opportunities, and to make a difference in our community.
Sisterhood is responsible for running the Temple Gift Shop. For information about the Sisterhood Gift Shop and how to volunteer click here.

Benefits of joining the Temple Emanu-El Sisterhood:
- You become part of our Sisterhood family, and we learn and celebrate on this journey together.
- Your membership dues and fundraising activities provide significant annual support for our religious school.
- We give gifts to our B’nai Mitzvah and Confirmands.
Within the structure of the Congregation, Sisterhood is the collective presence, voice, and strength of women. It is the place where women can meet and work together for the benefit of the Congregation, an outlet for the creative energy, talent, and leadership potential for individual Jewish women.
