About Us

Sisterhood is a diverse group of women spanning all ages and backgrounds, with varying hobbies and interests who come together for friendship, camaraderie and the opportunity to fulfill ourselves as Jewish women. 
  The Bigger Community
Just as our Temple is a part of a larger organization called the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ), our Sisterhood is part of a larger organization called the Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ.)  Within WRJ, TAS Sisterhood is in the Pacific District.  TAS Sisterhood is well represented among the leadership of the Pacific District.  The current WRJ Pacific District Treasurer and Area VP are members of our Sisterhood. And three of our members have been presidents of the Pacific District Board.​
