Sisterhood

Women of Reform Judaism


Our Sisterhood members have a worldwide identity and connection through our affiliation with the Women of Reform Judaism (“WRJ”), the agency for Sisterhoods of Reform congregations throughout the world. WRJ’s projects include:

  • Youth, Education & Special Projects (YES) Fund providing financial aid for North American rabbinical students on Hebrew Union College campuses. Sisterhood contributes US$1,000 annually to the YES Fund.
  • Founder and Patron of “The Jewish Braille Institute of America” which services the Jewish visually impaired throughout the world.
  • Supporter of the World Union for Progressive Judaism, which has established progressive congregations and rabbinical seminaries in over 30 countries.
  • Commissioned and published “The Torah, A Women’s Commentary” (2007) to great acclaim. Our Sisterhood facilitated the purchase and donation of 125 copies of the Women’s Commentary to the Temple for use by the Congreation.

 

A portion of your membership dues is paid annually by our Sisterhood to WRJ to support its operations, programs and projects. See WRJ’s website at www.womenofreformjudaism.org.
