Temple Adas Shalom Sisterhood is a woman’s organization which strives to help women bond together, learn from one another, and share experiences that enable themselves and their families to grow and lead more fulfilling Jewish lives.
The primary objective of our Temple Sisterhood is to provide an agenda of education and social networking activities that meet the needs of the women of the congregation. We achieve this by undertaking specific projects to enhance and enrich the life of the congregation. These projects include maintaining the Judaica Gift Shop; providing gifts for Bar/Bat Mitzvah students; providing Bima Flowers for the High Holidays; holiday treats for Simchat Torah and Purim, annual Sisterhood Dinners & Events; holiday gift packages to our College students, and ongoing fundraising projects that benefit the congregation, the Kehillah MAGNET Religious School, and HJC Early Learning Center.
“A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.” – Isadora James
