Sisterhood - Who We Support

Sisterhood supports Temple Israel in its mission to support the spiritual and religious journey of our congregants and provide the foundation for building a better world through teaching and living our Jewish values.

• We support our Center for Jewish Learning by helping purchase yads (Torah pointers) for our seventh graders and travel costs for the confirmation class trip to Washington DC, as well as special CJL events and requests. We make sure each student in the CJL gets Chanukah candles, dreidels and gelt. Each student gets a mini-mishloach manot bag at Purim.
• We provide the brunch for choir/band/clergy/ushers on Rosh Hashanah and the congregation's break the fast at the end of Yom Kippur.
• We provide the oneg treats for Simchat Torah and Purim.
• We create and host a women's Passover seder.
• We support our Music Enrichment Fund.
• We help the temple's Caring Committee in times of need.  
• We bring speakers to temple to discuss important subjects including the Holocaust, health, and women's history.

In the greater community, we are strong supporters of

• Croton Caring Committee - especially their annual back to school program - Adopt a Student.
• Feeding Westchester. Based in White Plains, they provide 95% of the urgently needed food directly to individuals and families and through local partners, such as food pantries, schools and senior centers.
