The White Meadow Temple chapter of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, known as Sisterhood, cordially invites you to join our organization. With Rabbi Benjamin Adler and new leadership at the helm, the Synagogue as a whole is being revitalized. Sisterhood is a vital branch of every Synagogue, and White Meadow Temple is no exception. The women of White Meadow Temple have always contributed to the many activities held at our Shul, helping to support the education of our children, those in bereavement, building repairs and most importantly, the bonding of our membership.

At Yom Kippur services, Dan Watter addressed the Congregation equating the members whose children had grown and finished religious school with alumni.  This alumni theory is very appropriate, but is not limited to that one group.  As our children grow and advance from infancy to nursery school, from nursery school to religious school, and from religious school to high school and college, we each become alumnus to another group as well. Along the way, we bond with other women in each phase of our lives.  Why limit ourselves to a single group of friends along the way?  We have White Meadow Temple in common, with an unlimited potential for sharing the best of ourselves with our community and one other.

Back in the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s when women typically did not work outside the home, there was time during the day for planning and for activities. Now, many years later, most of us don’t have that flexibility, but that doesn’t have to stop us from participating.  There is plenty that can be done behind the scenes in planning and preparing.  Sisterhood isn't only about work.  The social aspect can work for us because we plan activities that will interest us.  We can all enjoy a “Girls’ Night Out” at White Meadow Temple!  You don’t need to bring someone with you.  We welcome every individual who walks through our doors.  You can meet new people and bond with old friends at the same time!  We endeavor to combine the wisdom of the women who have already done so much with the energy of newer faces in order to expand our programs.  Once accomplished, we will ultimately enrich the lives of our children, our community, and our membership.

Please join us and suggest programs you’d be interested in attending or ideas you may have for fundraising. Our goal is to continue giving to our congregation. We’re open to all ideas. Getting involved will surely be an enjoyable and fulfilling experience for you. To get more involved, call or email the Synagogue Office at 973-627-4500 for an application, or email Nancy Malchi or Ellen Wanamaker.
