SISTERHOOD (sis’ter-hood) n
1. the state of being a sister
2. a community or society of sisters
3. the association or unification of women based on sharing a common cause.
Sisterhood means different things to different people. Here at Temple B’nai Or, we think of Sisterhood as a group of women who get together to make a difference in our Temple, our community, and in our own lives. We get to know one another and have fun in the process.
We hope you will join us this year – attend an event or a party, volunteer to help behind the scenes, join us in the kitchen, take part in our Women’s Seder, or just shop at the gift shop.
Define your own role in this group of incredible women, help support our Temple community and share our pride in each other as Jewish women.
