Affiliated Sisterhoods

Women’s League and Sisterhood: A partnership enriching Jewish women worldwide

Belonging to a Women’s League affiliate provides individual members with many benefits. By being part of an international organization – which is the voice of Conservative women worldwide – every member has the opportunity to impact the world around her. Women’s League provides its affiliates with a vast array of educational, programming, social action, and administrative materials. To find a sisterhood near you, click here.

Learning

Women’s League is committed to promoting a Jewishly educated laity and provides sisterhoods with several innovative programs each year:

• Divrei Hokhmah: Words of Wisdom are concise units of study with which to open a meeting or program. To date there are modules on Proverbs, the Ten Commandments, Kol Ishah, Heart & Soul, and the Environment.
• International Days of Study afford women the opportunity to study the same text at the same time with hundreds of other women across the continent. The Five Megillot have been the focus of the first series: Ruth (2004), Esther (2005), Kohelet (2006), Song of Songs (2007), Lamentations (2008), and Psalms (2009)
• Women’s League Shabbat celebrates Women’s League and Sisterhood with study and programmatic materials.

Linking

Sisterhoods join a network of Jewish women worldwide. Regions are linked with Masorti congregations in Israel and the personal relationships that have developed have deepened the ties between members here and in Israel. Women’s League encourages sisterhoods and their members to support and be actively engaged in:

• Masorti Olami
• Mercaz
• Machon Schechter

Sharing

Sisterhoods reach out to those in need, locally and globally. Several Women’s League initiatives encourage the creation of a worldwide community of caring. Women’s League sisterhoods support:

• Jewish Braille International (JBI)
• Girl Scouts of the USA
• MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger
• Religious Coalition for Reproductive Rights
• Holiday packages for Jewish military personnel
• Disaster relief funds as the needs arise
