Our goal is to deepen the understanding of Conservative Judaism among our members and their families, and to promote the welfare of our congregation and religious school through educational and community service activities, which are fueled by our fund raising efforts.

We enjoy ourselves and form close friendships as we work together to achieve our goals. We provide a network of support for each other and the congregation. Make a connection through Sisterhood. Enjoy the opportunity of making a difference in the lives of others, and in your own as well.

Sisterhood is open to all Jewish women.
Dues are $40 per year, $25 for seniors.
Complimentary membership is given to new HJC members for the first year.
