Why
is Sisterhood different from any other organization of Jewish women?
Because its reason for being, as seen in every aspect of its
multi-faceted program, is concern for education, the Jewish education of
its members. Simply put, the goal of a Sisterhood is to steadily
encourage and lead its members ever higher on the ladder of knowledge
and understanding, through Jewish education. Our tradition tells us:
"Knowledge not increased is knowledge decreased"
(Pirkay Avot 1:13)
Becoming
your best self: An individual who is honest and just, who cares about
others and knows how to make wise choices, how to relate to family and
friends, and to successfully balance regard for self and regard for
others.
