Sisterhood

In 1999 the women of Congregation Ohr Torah met together and discussed the need for a Sisterhood. Over pie and cake they put together the unified core of a strong and committed Sisterhood. The women who belong to the Sisterhood are deeply devoted to building a community of shared experiences, learning and giving, not just a place of religious observance. Since the beginning, Sisterhood has donated kitchen appliances, furniture, chandeliers, wall coverings, siddurim, chumashim, and more to the shul. Sisterhood also reaches out to the rest of the Jewish community of West Orange with chesed donations.

Glasswork Event - 2022

During the year Sisterhood holds various programs and fundraising activities that are always enjoyed and well attended. Sisterhood runs programs integrating learning and social interaction appealing to the women in the community. An ongoing book club, regular hat sales, cooking demonstrations, jewelry-making, tehillim groups and learning programs are a sample of events run by the Sisterhood.
