Welcome to Beth Sholom’s Sisterhood Page!

 

Our Sisterhood is an organization of women that is 83 years strong!

Women have always played a role here at Beth Sholom. It started in 1908 with a woman who opened her home for a small group of men to start a minyan, so it’s said. Over the following years the women organized into what became known as the Women’s Auxiliary.  Later, when Beth Sholom moved to Potomac, MD, the Beth Sholom Sisterhood became its’ successor organization.  In 1977, for the first time, a woman sat on the Board of Directors. Then Beth Sholom hired its first female assistant spiritual leader a Rabbanit from 2016-2019.

As times have changed so has the Sisterhood. In the past, the Sisterhood assisted with the Talmud Torah, youth activities, fundraising banquets, all social activities, the kitchen, kiddushes and just about every aspect of synagogue life. Since that time, many of the Sisterhood’s principal functions have spun off and are run more efficiently by individual committees.

Today’s Sisterhood includes women of all ages and many of our events also include the men. Becoming involved in the  Sisterhood is a wonderful way to connect with others in the Beth Sholom community. We are multi-generational and multi-cultural within Judaism and we provide social, educational and fundraising activities throughout the year. 

TOGETHER, as women, we embrace our heritage, build lasting friendships, support our synagogue and continue the legacy for our daughters for generations to come.
