More About Sisterhood
A few facts about Congregation Agudath Israel Sisterhood
Our Sisterhood fully
supported and made a most generous donation towards our renovation in
2007. Through the efforts of committed Sisterhood women, our Gift Shop
is staffed and consistently filled with beautiful Judaica to serve our
community. Each Bar and Bat Mitzvah is presented a beautiful prayer book
by Sisterhood. Siddurs are presented on behalf of Sisterhood at the
'Moving Up' ceremony of our Religious School and kiddush cups to welcome
new babies to our congregation. We're proud to sponsor both the 'Break
Fast' at the conclusion of Yom Kippur and the annual Sukkot
Luncheon. The beautiful flowers adorning the Bimah on the High Holidays
are a gift of Sisterhood. Lifecycle events, both happy simchas and and
sad condolences are sent from Sisterhood to our congregants. The
synagogue kitchens are graciously equipped by Sisterhood. Our efforts in
fund-raising provided funds towards the newly renovated state of the
art playground of The Early Childhood Center. Each year, Sisterhood is
proud to contribute to the High Holiday Campaign. We are happy to
support the efforts of our Early Childhood Center, Education Department,
Youth Groups, providing a scholarship towards USY
Encampment, implementing a scholarship for Teen Travel to Israel, in
memory of our beloved long-time member, Ina Wolfe, and a multitude of
Seniors Programs.
Throughout the year we sell Jewish
calendars, Torah Fund cards and pins through our affiliate, Women's
League for Conservative Judaism. Additionally, Sisterhood is proud to
support The Jewish Theological Seminary, and to donate to the
Congregation Agudath Israel annual Israel Walk-A-Thon. We are committed
to being 'Gloriously Green'. Take a look at some products we offer for purchase in support of this effort.
