Sisterhood at Congregation Beth Emeth
Sisterhood is a strong, engaging, and interactive part of Beth Emeth life. We proudly sponsor and support educational, social, spiritual, and community service events for all generations. Sisterhood has touched many Beth Emeth families in significant ways. Our programs include: K’tanim (our program for families with preschool children), social action projects and activities, yoga, mah jongg lessons & tournaments, our weekly Knit & Nosh, canasta tournaments, donor dinners, and membership brunches.
Your Sisterhood membership provides opportunities to meet interesting and fun people and participate in programs and events that interest you! You will also be included in the annual membership roster. You do not have to be a member of Beth Emeth to join our Sisterhood.

Sisterhood is Calling - Our Virtual Conversation - From Our Home to Yours!
There are many ways to create a warm, Jewish environment in your home. It’s enveloped in your rituals, how holidays are celebrated, what surrounds you in your home and even what you eat. Sharing ideas is what Sisterhood thrives on and the creation of Sisterhood is Calling is, designed for just that. Join us to share and learn how our home and Temple life can be enhanced and enriched –it’s often in the little things you can do. Join in these conversations.
Sisterhood is Calling is scheduled four times this year, on Thursday evenings from 7:30—8:15 PM via zoom. Rabbi Shpeen, Cantor Kohn, Rabbinic Intern Alexandra Stein and a fourth leader to be named will facilitate the discussion on a variety of topics. This year's dates are:
November 18, 2021
January 20, 2022
March 10, 2022
May 19, 2022
Zoom links and specific topics will be made available on our web site, sisterhood monthly newsletter, the temple bulletin, and in our weekly temple emails. We hope you will take this time for yourself and join sisterhood for a lively discussion!

Continued Connections
CBE Sisterhood is staying connected to all of CBE’s high school graduates as they continue on their journey. Opportunities and adventures have expanded over the years to include a variety of Gap years, continued education, employment/internship, travel, to name a few. Once known as College Connection, Continuing Connections is a program where sisterhood reaches out to these young adults in the four years following their high school completion and lets them know we are thinking of them for the next four years. As part of this program a gift is sent at Chanukah to all those young adults whose contact information we have. One opportunity includes identifying an Ambassador who would like to represent this young population and enhance these connections….please make your recommendations!!
Send a name, best email address and if you’d like, your child’s next step to Joni Lieberman-Basen If you have previously provided outreach information, please update it so we are sure we have current contact information. Watch for more details as they unfold!! Congratulations to all the graduates!!!
Wellness Workshops & Yoga
Yoga and Wellness programming reflects Sisterhood's commitment to our well being by offering these programs to our Beth Emeth community. Yoga classes are led by professional yoga instructors and are geared for all levels -- beginners to advanced. Our informative Wellness Classes teach us to lead a healthier lifestyle.
Due to Covid-19, this series of programs is presently on hold.
Mah Jongg Tournaments - On Hold due to Covid-19
We do hope, at some point in the 2021-22 Sisterhood year, to re-instate our Mah Jongg lessons and tournaments. They have always been enjoyed and so well attended. Please be patient as we continue to figure out how we can still enjoy the game safely, together.Questions? Contact Deb Sokoler
