Sisterhood

Congregation Etz Chaim Sisterhood, a member of the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, is a supportive and caring community of women of all ages providing countless benefits to the synagogue, Religious School, Preschool, Youth Department, the community at large, and our valued members. We offer year-round programming, including Mah Jongg, Book Club, Rosh Chodesh minyan, and many social programs for our members, Z’havah, and the Congregation. Sisterhood also operates the Judaica and Gifts Shop in our synagogue.

Etz Chaim’s Sisterhood enriches the congregation through our Annual High Holiday Greeting and Remembrance Book, Sisterhood Shabbat, Mishloach Manot, High Holiday babysitting, as well as sponsoring kiddush lunch for Shemini Atzeret, Simchat Torah, Sukkot and break the fast, and nosherei for Purim. Along with the synagogue’s Men’s Club, Sisterhood provides gifts to our B’nai Mitzvah and Confirmands supports our Education Department and scholarships for continuing education.

Our community outreach programs include knitting/crocheting for Must Ministries, providing kosher meals for Rebecca’s Tent for the month of February, and supporting Jewish National Fund by selling trees for Israel.
