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 one of the CNS recognized axiliaries. Membership is open to all who identify as women and are interested in providing service to our temple membership, our temple, and our community. Our temple sisterhood is currently affiliated with WRJ, the Women of Reform Judaism.

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.

Sunday, May 4th 1:00p to 2:00p
This is a course for Jewish people over 18 who wish to have a B' Mitzvah service and celebration. Whether you converted to Judaism, weren't raised in a shul, were raised in a shul that didn't allow your gender to have such a service, or even if you had one at 13 and are ready for a do-over, you are welcome in this class. You will learn or relearn some staples of Jewish liturgy, Torah, hone D'var Torah writing and service-leading skills, and generally have a space to ask whatever questions about Judaism you have felt haven't been answered adequately for you up to this point (I can't promise to have a more adequate answer, but let's talk about it!). We will collectively discuss dates and services for class members to lead and celebrate their becoming a Bar/Bat/MiBeit Mitzvah. Classes will meet in person. If you are interested and cannot attend a class, please let Rabbi Lizz know. -
