Sisterhood supports a myriad of projects that serve the congregation, community, and the WRJ national organization.  Through the support of the Holland Bulb project and the Judaica shop, Sisterhood funds major improvements and projects for Temple Israel, URJ Henry S. Jacobs Camp, and the Women of Reform Judaism.


Enjoy highlights from WRJ-Sisterhood events from 2008-2010
WRJ Holland Bulb ProjectThese bulbs are a great addition to ANY garden and make great gifts too. Buy amaryllis bulbs (while supplies last!) from the Holland Bulb Committee. These gorgeous flowers at $18 and are boxed, ready to plant, and make great gifts. You can also make a donation to the Cancer Survivors Park in Audubon Park, Temple Israel grounds, or the Temple cemetery. E-mail Judy Royal, or call 683-7959.

Holiday EventsHelp with the WRJ-sponsored Passover seder, Yom Kippur Break Fast, Oneg Shabbats, Chanukah Market Place, or Chanukah dinner.  View photos from 2009's Congregational Passover Seder.

Meal PreparationMake suppers for MIFA's Estival Communities, cook meals for delivery for Temple's Mitzvah Day, or prepare and serve a Passover Seder.

Adopt-a-SchoolWork with WRJ's adopt-a-school, Colonial School for the Visually Limited. Last year's 3 events were enjoyed by the children and very meaningful to the volunteers. For the summer of 2001, there were 4 events: June 8, 15 ,22, and 29 from 9:30 am-noon. This was, and is a great opportunity for service hours for middle and high school students.
Book ClubEnjoy this active monthly book club that meets monthly on Wednesdays at 2:15 pm, except where noted.  Questions? E-mail Eileen Wishnia, Wednesday book club chair.
