Sisterhood
Sisterhood
The mission of Sisterhood is to support and enhance the Reform Jewish experience at Congregation Ner Shalom through service, education, and social programs. We achieve these through….
- Enhancing our Temple Family Life
- Promoting friendship and harmony
- Providing educational and social programs
- Contributing to and supporting the needs of our children
- Participating in and contributing to community programs
Our Sisterhood is comprised of a diverse group of women from working professionals to stay-at-home moms, ranging in age from late teens to 70 +. We strive to be a welcoming, inclusive, multigenerational group of women dedicated to serving our
membership, our Temple, our community and WRJ.

Join or Learn about Chai Mitzvah
Chai Mitzvah is a unique experiential Jewish journey that blends monthly group study with personal choices of Jewish engagement, called the "Jewish Bucket List". Our tradition teaches that the world stands on three things: study, spirituality, and acts of kindness. Chai Mitzvah provides a structure to explore each on these things both individually and as a community.
