Sisterhood
Temple Israel Sisterhood is an organization of women who band together in friendship, for programs that benefit our Temple and our community, for social activities, for study, and, above all, for the growth of the individual so that each woman may find an opportunity to fulfill her potential as a person and as a Jewish woman.
In the larger sense, we are one of 600 Sisterhoods in the Women of Reform Judaism, a legal affiliate of the URJ. A portion of our Sisterhood dues goes to the Women of Reform Judaism and, when combined with the dues from the other Sisterhoods, we support world wide Jewish projects. To learn of the broad social action programs which the WRJ supports, click on our link to WRJ Dares to Dream (http://rj.org/wrj).
We affirm Jewish identities and equal rights. We encourage friendship, and support our Temple, our congregation and our larger community. Join us. Attend our events. Make new friends. Help yourself and Temple Israel and our Miami and Jewish communities to be the best that they can be.
Sisterhood Co-presidents:
- Susie Goldberg
- Gail Lewis

Programs for 2011-2012 is TBD
We are looking forward to seeing you at all the events planned for this Sisterhood year.
College Connection
One of Sisterhood's important projects each year is to keep in touch with out Temple Youth who have gone away to college. For more years than we can count, Lois Klein and her family have put together wonderful surprise packages that are sent to college studens, around the time Chanukah, just to let them know that we care.
If you have a college student that you wish to be remembered, please download and fill out the form below, and return it to Temple or send the student's contact information to plittman@templeisrael.net.
