Sisterhood of Congregation Agudath Achim

SISTERHOOD IS…  A community of women joined together to do more than each could do alone.

  • A group of women trying to balance the many diverse demands in the all too few hours of each day.
  • A gathering of women with concerns about the environment, our community, our people – all seeking to make the world better.
  • An opportunity for women to find meaning in something greater than themselves.
  • A place for the special bonding of women who share friendships and who understand and appreciate each other and the work of their hands.
  • The heart of our congregation, filled with love, warmth, courage and strength.
