Religious School:
Sisterhood and brotherhood pay for the supplies and food for all holiday celebrations. A
representative of the Parents Association sits on the Sisterhood Board as
liaison, advising and aiding Sisterhood as
needed.
Oneg Fund and Floral Fund: Sisterhood has a
committee to oversee and execute the responsibilities of the Friday night and
holiday Oneg events. Bar/Bat Mitzvah families are contacted for their
special simcha. Anyone wishing to contribute to or sponsor an Oneg is
encouraged to contact the Oneg Committee. Reminder postcards are mailed on
a monthly basis, encouraging members to sponsor Oneg evenings. The
Floral Committee works closely with the Oneg Committee to provide floral
arrangements to the bima. When flowers are not sponsored by any individual
or family, a silk arrangement is present on the bima.
Sisterhood
Membership : The Sisterhood Membership committee works with
the Temple membership committee in order to contact all new members. A new
member receives a one year complimentary membership in sisterhood in order to
encourage their participation in Temple Functions and help them meet their
fellow congregants.
Social Action Committee: Sisterhood is
committed to helping those less fortunate than ourselves as part of our mitzvah
projects. The committee researches and chooses a variety of projects and sponsors them
for the Temple at large to participate in. These are widely advertised in
the Temple Newsletter, through fliers and word of mouth. Sisterhood is
proud of its continuing role in social action issues.
Caring and
Sharing Committee: The Sisterhood spearheads this committee, although it
is a tri- part committee consisting of Sisterhood, Brotherhood and the General
Fund of the Temple. When a member or member family experiences any kind of
illness, death, or unfortunate circumstance, Sisterhood executive board is
notified by the clergy or Temple Secretary and makes sure to take appropriate
measures of sympathy, caring and visiting.
Program
Committee: The Program Committee plans events throughout the year.
Some of the events will be related to Women's issues only; some events are
co-sponsored with Brotherhood; some events are planned as part of fundraising
efforts to help the Temple raise needed funds in order to operate
effectively.
