Our vision for Sisterhood+ is to be a community of learning, friendship, and spiritual growth.
Sisterhood+ is open for all members and friends of Temple Shir Shalom.
Sisterhood+ currently offers a book club, monthly Rosh Chodesh gatherings, and a variety of other events ranging from field trips, eating out together, and educational programs.
We are always open to ideas for events and looking for volunteers to help.
As our new leadership begins, much is in the works and will be announced as time goes on.
We are excited for this new chapter to begin and all that is to come.

Trip to Judaica Suite at UF Smathers Library
A group of us from Sisterhood+ got a chance to tour the very special Judaica Suite at UF Smathers Library recently and learn more about the unique collection in a presentation by curator Rebecca Jefferson.
Jefferson shared information about some items in the collection in a show-and-tell presentation that let us see old books and letters, crafts, and a unique collection of puppets created by Holocaust survivors Izaak and Bertie Cohen, who avoided the death camps by hiding in a Rotterdam apartment.
There’s a lot in the library, and our hour-long visit wasn’t enough to see it all, but it was a start, and we learned a lot. We saw some of the rare books in the special collection. In all, the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica has more than 140,000 volumes, DVDs, microfilms, and newspapers.
If you didn’t get to join our Sisterhood+ tour and lecture, you can still get a chance to visit. The suite is open as a reading room without an appointment on Fridays from 9 am to noon and again from 1 pm to 4 pm during the Fall and Spring semesters. – By Ronnie Lovler
