- [Sisterhood](https://bethtorah.net/category/community/sisterhood/) - Following in the tradition of all Sisterhoods before us, at Temple Beth Torah we support the religious school and run events for social, celebratory, and charitable purposes. We foster relationships, strengthen our community, and support those in need while we enjoy and create joyous traditions. We deeply value all our relationships and nurture those between each other, the Congregation, our local Jewish Community, and the Northern Virginia community at large. We volunteer where the community needs us, donate to and sponsor school events, encourage our young members to value all these relationships, values, and our traditions, and host a variety of social events, giving our relationships the chance to grow. The year starts with the exquisite, homemade Erev Rosh Hashanah Oneg, with home-baked treats made by one of our long-term members, book club meets monthly, and in the spring we host three large events, the Purim Café, Women’s Shabbat, and our legendary Festive Community Seder. We provide our students celebratory treats at Hanukkah and the last day of the school year, host social gatherings at wineries, entertainment venues, and go to the theatre. (+ Caring Committee after role is better defined.) TBT is full of people, Jewish and Jew-ish, willing to put in time, energy, and even money to make this a better place. As far as we’ve come, there is still much more to be done and the Sisterhood is a crucial part of making this happen. Together we will build stronger, healthier friendships, connect through advocacy and service work, continuing education, and participate in our social gatherings. Membership in the Sisterhood is already included in your TBT membership. There is no additional charge. Take advantage of what the TBT Sisterhood has to offer.
