Sisterhood

What is Sisterhood?

The Sisterhood of Temple Beth Hillel ismade up of the women of Temple Beth Hillel. We’re old and young and somewhere in between. We’re employed, either part-time or full-time, both in the home and out. We’re retired, but active in temple life. We have little kids, big kids, empty nests or no nests. We all have full lives and the issue of extra time for volunteering is relative. No one seems to have it, yet we seem to find it when there are important things to get done. Sisterhood and Brotherhood are the supportive arms of this wonderful community. Following are just some of things we do for our Temple family:

New special events to be announced soon!
