Annual Membership Drive
Whether you’re interested in service to the Temple, social action projects, prayer and ritual programs to 
strengthen Jewish identity for you and your family, or just want to bond with women…Sisterhood is for you! The only requirement is that you are a woman who is a member of the Temple of Israel.
We are the Women of Reform Judaism. Through our efforts, we support our future clergy and our children. Help us reach our membership goal of 100 members this year! SAY YES!
Membership is open to girls 13-17 at the Sadie level, as we welcome our Bat Mitzvah students up to age 17. Sadie, Hebrew for “Princess”, celebrates our next generation of Sisterhood.
