The mission of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism is to strengthen and unite synagogue women’s groups and their members; support them in mutual efforts to understand and perpetuate Conservative / Masorti Judaism in the home, synagogue and community; and reinforce their bonds with Israel and with Jews worldwide.
Temple Beth El has an active Sisterhood. They sponsor the oneg and kiddush following Shabbat Services if there is no Bar or Bat Mitzvah. They ensure there are always flowers on the Bima on Shabbat. They run the Book Shop and Gift Shop using the proceeds to contribute to the custodial fee and the religious school. In addition, they replace kitchen items as needed. They are involved in most of the activities taking place in the Temple.
