Agudas Achim Sisterhood is a member of the Southwest Branch of Women's League for Conservative Judaism.
The goal of Congregation Agudas Achim's Sisterhood is
to enhance your family life, your spiritual needs, and
your congregational experience.
Our Sisterhood does an outstanding job in providing programs and speakers, as well as entertainment to its members. We also attempt to provide a connection to our beautiful Jewish traditions and values.
Our objectives are to:
1. Promote the welfare of Agudas Achim and its religious schools
2. Stress the importance of Shabbat and Jewish Festivals
3. Foster a sense of communal responsibility
4. Sponsor and promote educational and cultural responsibilities
5. Participate in the work of the Torah Fund
6. Participate in activities to strengthen relationships with Israel
Without you, we are one woman short!
Dues are only $25.00 per year. Our meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month from September through May.
For more information, please contact Sandra Weingart, President, (210) 826-1368
It's time for Spring Cleaning! Instead of throwing out your items, bring them to the synagogue. Better yet, meet us at the storage unit across the street from Agudas Achim or call us and we'll pick up your items! How much easier can it be? Please, NO TVs, computers or t-shirts. Your donations help Sisterhood to help others. Please give generously!
For more information, or to make a donation, please call Jean Schlesinger at 349-7840 or Sandra Shaenfield at 492-9562.
Z'Havah Group
This Z'havah program for the younger members of Sisterhood is an outreach group with relevant programming and special events designed to meet your needs and schedule. Connect with women and families with similar interests. The Z'Havah Group offers fun, friendship and a focus on what’s important to you.
Bimah Baskets Available
In many areas of the country “Bimah Baskets” are used instead of flowers. Flowers cost quite a lot and die very shortly. The Bimah Baskets decorate and do good works at the same time! Throughout the year, once a month, we will make similar baskets as decorations for our Shabbat services to be subsequently donated to charity.
If you would like to contribute to a Bimah Basket, or sponsor a basket for a simcha or Bar/Bat Mitzvah, please call the synagogue at 479-0307. A separate acknowledgement will be added to the Kolenu and Shabbat sheets.
