Shaare Tefila Sisterhood 2008-2010
President: Deborah Letow
Sisterhood Calendar 2009/2010
For decades, the Shaare Tefila Sisterhood has been a vibrant, active, and joyful part of our congregation. Sisterhood offers women the companionship of other women, provides training for leadership roles in the Jewish community, and supports the Congregation in a myriad of ways. The Sisterhood is a member of the Seaboard branch of the Women’s League of Conservative Judaism. In 1997, Shaare Tefila hosted the Spring Convention. The Sisterhood is proud to be an active part of the Women’s League Torah Fund which supports the Jewish Theological Seminary for the past 25 years.
PROGRAMS
Sisterhood programs are diverse; some of interest to most women, others targeted to specific groups. They range from the home arts of cooking and baking through secular issues such as women’s health and welfare, to the study and practice of religious issues affecting women. A sisterhood Shabbat is held annually with Sisterhood members conducting the services.
We have a fabulous year ahead of us! Just take a look...

Volunteerism in the Sisterhood is always associated with camaraderie. Many a long term friendship between Congregation families began while chopping salad in the kitchen.
