Sisterhood The Adas Israel Sisterhood embraces women of all ages and stages of life. It is a vital force in our congregation, with activities ranging from topical guest speakers and community outreach to workshops on religion and personal development. Through the Judaica Shop, Donor Luncheon and other functions, the Sisterhood supports the congregation financially. It also sponsors and decorates the Sukkah, staffs the seniors' fellowship program, provides flowers for the pulpit and sponsors the Oneg Shabbat.

Sisterhood Sponsors Thursday Night Minyan
We have pledged that at least two women from Sisterhood will attend the 5:45 PM minyan every Thursday evening. Sisterhood chose Thursday night, when the synagogue is dark, because it is the most difficult night to make a minyan. To sign up for your Thursday night at the minyan, contact coordinator Harriet Isaac, happyisack@yahoo.com or 202-369-7956.Ongoing! The Adas Israel Sisterhood Torah Fund Campaign for 2008-2009 has begun!
Our goal is to reach at least $15,000.00 in contributions. Donations support students at the Conservative Movement’s institutes of higher learning.
