Sisterhood
We invite you to join the Sisterhood.
Contact us at sishood@emanuelhouston.org.
We've got something for you.
Enjoy a sense of belonging and camaraderie with women who share your values.
Connect with the Congregation
Through active volunteering and financial support, your Sisterhood membership enables us to enrich the congregation and its members of all ages.
Connect with the Community
The women of Sisterhood are doers. We look beyond ourselves to ease the challenges others face through our support of community projects affecting young and old. Through participation in community volunteerism such as hospital visits as well as programs including Work of Our Hands, Mitzvah Day and SEARCH Homeless Services, this is our way of making a difference while offering a Jewish presence and perspective.
Connect with Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ)
Over 65,000 women in more than 500 Sisterhoods do together what no one group could do alone.
And Play Mah Jongg!
Emanu El Jokers hosts a fun afternoon on the third Monday of each month. Bring your sets cards & friends. RSVP to Sisterhood at sishood@emanuelhouston.org.
