Our Mission Statement:
The United Orthodox Synagogues Sisterhood is a women’s organization committed to Torah values within modern society, dedicated to enriching the lives of our members, supporting and inspiring our synagogue and the broader Jewish community. We promote fellowship, ongoing spiritual growth, celebration of meaningful Jewish events, chesed and continued skilled leadership.

Over the years, led by two Co-Presidents and dedicated Board members, UOS Sisterhood provided major financial support for the UOS kitchens and equipment, landscaping, sprinkler systems and tree lighting, mikveh repair and enhancement, furniture and décor of the Freedman Hall lobby, and the scholar in residence program. In addition, UOS Sisterhood holds women’s events and classes for spiritual enrichment and torah learning. The Board of Officers and event coordinators meet quarterly for planning our events and making decisions regarding dispersal of funds.

Our four major annual events for 2007-08 are:
1. Membership kickoff event: Sept 9
2. Chanukah event: Sunday, Dec 2
3. Sisterhood Shabbat: honoring Eishet Chayil of the year; Friday, Saturday Feb.29 - March 1, 2008
4. Donor event: Sunday, May 18

Recently we revived the Minhag of Rosh Chodesh, a significant festival day in ancient times.
Rosh Chodesh symbolizes renewal, the ability of the Jewish people to rise from oblivion and restore themselves to their past greatness. In modern Judaism Rosh Chodesh has become a women's festival where women gather and celebrate the New Moon in a wide variety of activities.

•  Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan: 10/21
