THEME FOR 2025 - 2026
PROMOTING HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Across the country, Sisterhoods have continually evolved to provide learning, leadership social, and philanthropic opportunities for women of their respective congregations. Sisterhoods play a significant role in promoting Jewish values and identity within the greater communities and providing support for the congregation—and Congregation Beth Yam continues to maintain a vibrant and highly engaged Sisterhood.
Open to all women of all ages and interests, regardless of level of observance, our Sisterhood provides an outlet for the creative energy, talent and leadership of each of our members. Our affiliation with the Women of Reform Judaism offers a deeper connection to other Jewish women nationally and worldwide.
Whether organizing a special religious service, bringing dinner to a bereaved family, collaborating on religious school programming, attending a Sisterhood lunch or dinner, playing mah-jongg, sponsoring an Oneg, or socializing at a book club meeting, it’s all about connecting with fellow congregants to form new friends and relationships. Other supports provided to the congregational membership include:
- Managing the Judaica Shop
- Providing honors for our B’nai Mitzvot
- Sponsoring the Annual Women’s Seder that honors both biblical and contemporary women
- Hosting educational workshops and seminars
- Sponsoring ongoing social activities, special programs and events throughout the year
- Facilitating / coordinating Jewish educational trips
- Supporting National Foundations including Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ), Jewish Federation and JNF, ORT, MAZON (Jewish Response to Hunger), and the YES FUND (Youth Education and Special Projects)
For 2025 – 2026, a number of our educational, socialization and recreational programming will focus on promoting greater Health and Wellness. More information will be forthcoming!
Make close, lifelong friends, learn about interesting topics, embrace your Judaism, support the congregation and give back to the community. If you are considering joining Congregation Beth Yam, we welcome you to become part of our Sisterhood!
