Sisterhood
Sisterhood is the women’s voice of our synagogue. The group is comprised of women of all different ages, including single, divorced, and widowed women. Some members work full time and some are stay-at-home mothers. We are affiliated with Women’s League for Conservative Judaism – the national umbrella organization for Sisterhood of Conservative synagogues – and with the Connecticut Valley Branch of Women’s League.
The variety of programs and fundraisers we sponsor include:
- General program meetings held in the evenings.
- The Natalie Ziplow Study Sessions with Rabbi Small, held Thursday mornings at 10:00 a.m.
- Shabbat book reviews on Saturday afternoons several times a year.
- Board meetings held at 7:00 p.m. the second Tuesday of each month.
- The school Hanukah Carnival, co-sponsored with Brotherhood.
- Comedy Night.
