The Beth Emeth Sisterhood, one of 800 affiliates that comprise the Women's League for Conservative Judaism worldwide and a member of its Seaboard Branch, strives to perpetuate conservative Judaism through education for ourselves, our families and our community. To accomplish this, we present Jewish skills and holiday workshops for congregants, offer a grant program to youth participating in a Jewish camping or Israel experience and assist our religious school through the donation of needed materials to enhance the outstanding program here at Beth Emeth. Our Sisterhood also proudly supports the Jewish Theological Seminary in its mission to train professional and lay leaders for the Conservative movement.

In an effort to fulfill the vision of tikkun olam (repairing the world through acts of loving kindness), Beth Emeth Sisterhood has, for several years, sold house and people pins to benefit the Jewish Social Service Agency's program for homeless and battered women. We have also established an annual blood drive and are always looking for new ways to serve our community.

Sisterhood offers grants to assist with Jewish camping experience or Israel trip costs for children of Sisterhood members. The annual application date is July 31. Download the grant program details and application.

Our Marilyn Rosenberg Gift Shop continues to flourish under Sisterhood's direction. The Gift Shop is not only a crucial source of income to our congregation, but it provides an important opportunity for families to make their homes rich with Judaica and to become acquainted with Jewish art, music and literature. Gift Shop hours are Sunday 9:30am-1:00pm and Monday-Thursday 4:30pm-6:15pm. For additional times or to make an appointment, please call Robyn Feuerberg or email Robyn. New! Check out the Gift Shop Website!

Please join Sisterhood, or renew your membership now!  It's easy, just open and print the membership form, fill it in and mail or bring to CBE with your check.

Mission Statement

The mission of CBE Sisterhood is to unite the diverse woman of our congregation through social, educational, cultural, social action, and Jewish ritual programming in order to strengthen our role as Jewish women, promote Conservative (Masorti) Judaism, and foster a strong bond with Jews locally, in Israel, and around the world.

Our main goal is to support our membership, the synagogue as a whole, the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, and causes that are relevant to us as women.
