Our mission is to serve the women of TBJ, support the life of the Temple, and enrich Reform Jewish life—at home, within our congregation, and throughout the greater central Iowa community.

Sisterhood sponsors a wide variety of social, educational, and social action programs, creating opportunities to connect, learn, and make a difference. Past social action projects have included providing books for the Ashcroft Library, creating plastic‑bag mats for the unhoused, making blankets for shelters and the NICU, volunteering at the Planned Parenthood book sale, and supporting local schools. Our partnership with King Elementary School—furnishing their teachers’ lounge—earned an honorable mention award from Women of Reform Judaism North America.

Our programming includes both ongoing favorites and special gatherings, such as Temple Book Club, Sisterhood Tea, Supper in the Sukkah, a weekly Schmooze and Crafts group, a monthly We Do Lunch, and a monthly Breakfast Club. We also enjoy special outings and events like Rosh Chodesh Havdalah celebrations, museum outings, and creative social gatherings.

We invite you to join us for any—or all—of our programs, and we always welcome new ideas for events and activities. Sisterhood thrives on connection, creativity, and community, and there’s a place for you here.
