"Sisterhood" within the Congregation refers to womens united presence, voice, and strength. It offers a platform for women to come together and collaborate for the benefit of the Congregation. Furthermore, Sisterhood enables women to initiate and develop projects that they are passionate about. Sisterhood needs the support of all the women of the Cherry Lane Minyan.
