Sisterhood Temple Emanuel is a caring, vibrant community with a multigenerational membership comprised of women engaged in synagogue life at many levels. Sisterhood strives to maintain and preserve Conservative Judaism by connecting Jewish women of all ages to one another, the synagogue, and the Jewish way of life. We work year-round to create and fund programs for the welfare of the Temple Emanuel congregation while fostering a sense of community responsibility among congregants.
Thank you to our Sisterhood Leadership for all that they do!
Sisterhood Retreat
March 6-8, 2026
Join us at the beautiful Ocean Edge Resort in Cape Cod for a weekend of connection and community. We’ll enjoy Shabbat and Havdalah services and offer activities such as yoga, organized walks, crafts, book discussion, mah jongg and canasta, tikkun olam projects, and much more! Those who attended our last retreat, held 10 years ago, still share stories of the heartfelt moments they experienced. Many formed lasting friendships that began that weekend, even if they arrived not knowing anyone.
