Women of Temple Beth El Launch Pilot Program for Community Initiative
October 2023
By Joy Miller
On a recent sunny morning in August, sixteen women of Temple Beth El (TBE) gathered for brunch and mimosas to kick off a yearlong pilot program with the goal of creating further connection and engagement among women at Temple Beth El. The initiative is being spearheaded by the Women’s Community Advisory Team, consisting of Joy Miller, Tracey Adams, and Jennifer Clark.
Nicole Sidman, director of congregational life at Temple Beth El, kicked off the meeting with warm words of welcome, which were followed by Rabbi Lexi Erdheim offering an inspiring message about the role of women in leadership and women’s community in the Torah and in contemporary temple life.
The group aims to hold at least two events this year for women at Temple Beth El. There was much excitement as the attendees began work on selecting themes for the events. Planning teams were formed to discuss and implement the themes of social events, classes and workshops, adult education, and current events discussions.
Be on the lookout for more information, and if you are a female member of TBE, please plan to attend! The events will be multigenerational and will occur before June 2024. We are looking forward to continuing to build upon our already thriving community by forming even greater connections, friendships, and engagement as we launch the Women’s Community Initiative at Temple Beth El.
