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 also promote the values of tikkun olam, repairing the world. Here’s our current project, through June 1:
