Established in May of 1948, Beth El’s Sisterhood works to uphold and preserve the timeless ideals and cherished rituals of Jewish tradition. The Sisterhood supports Beth El in innumerable ways, including advancing the congregation’s financial welfare through fundraising events, providing scholarships for Beth El students, and collaborating with our clergy to help lead prayer services and other ritual experiences. Our Sisterhood is one of the largest and most active synagogue sisterhoods affiliated with the Women’s League of Conservative Judaism and the Maryland Federation of Jewish Women’s Organizations.
This year, the theme for Torah Fund is Am Yisrael Chai. The people of Israel live. Am Yisrael Chai is an expression of Jewish solidarity for the Jewish nation and the continuity of the Jewish people. When you support Torah Fund you help insure the future of worldwide Jewish communities. For more information, click here.
