Sisterhood
What is Sisterhood?
The Sisterhood of Temple Beth Hillel ismade up of the women of Temple Beth Hillel. We’re old andyoung and somewhere in between. We’re employed, either part-timeor full-time, both in the home and out. We’re retired, but activein temple life. We have little kids, big kids, empty nests or nonests. We all have full lives and the issue of extra time for volunteeringis relative. No one seems to have it, yet we seem to find it whenthere are important things to get done. Sisterhood and Brotherhood are the supportive arms of this wonderfulcommunity. Following are just some of things we do for our templefamily:
