Temple Har Zion Sisterhood has been called the heart and soul of our synagogue. Our goal is to support Har Zion in order to enrich and enlarge our temple community. You don’t have to be a member of THZ to join Sisterhood, but new THZ members who identify as women receive complimentary first-year Sisterhood membership. Annual dues are just $36 for THZ members, $45 for non-members. For more information, contact us.
We’re planning another exciting year of programs with a variety of creative virtual, in person, and combination of events. We welcome your input and assistance in planning and carrying out the programs. The specifics of future events will depend on our members’ preferences.
We are thrilled to continue with our monthly Rosh Chodesh study led by Cantor Evlyn on Zoom. More information to follow in the THZ Shofar e-blast.
And, of course, we’re continuing our monthly online Book Club (details for this month’s selection below). The Book Club typically meets by Zoom the fourth Thursday of the month at 7:30 pm.

This historical fiction novel is about Victoria Nash, a young woman in mid-century Colorado whose life is forever changed by a chance meeting with a drifter, Wil Moon, leading to forbidden love, tragedy, and a life-altering decision that sends her fleeing into the wilderness, forcing her to discover profound inner strength and resilience against a backdrop of prejudice, heartbreak, and the changing landscape as her homeland faces inundation by a reservoir. It’s a story of survival, female identity, and finding home and purpose through deep connection with nature and self.
