There are so many reasons to be a part of our wonderful Sisterhood. Whether you are looking for fun social activities, educational and cultural experiences, a place to share fundraising ideas, or searching for personal Jewish growth, Sisterhood is for you!
At Midway Jewish Center, Sisterhood endeavors to use the proceeds of all our events and fundraisers in three ways:
-
To benefit and enhance our beautiful synagogue.
-
To support other Jewish Women’s Organizations whose mission statements are in sync with our own.
-
To support and further our dedication to Israel.
Dear Midway Sisterhood Family,

Of course, if you’d like to become even more involved with Sisterhood, we’d love to have you join our Board. Our meeting are held in the evening, once a month. We are hoping to fill several positions for the upcoming year. We are looking for a Torah Fund person, and a Social Media Chair. Do you like taking pictures? We’d welcome you to be our official Sisterhood photographer!
Our Sisterhood is a proud member of the BQLI region of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism
