Sholom Women

Sholom Women is the organization of the women of Peninsula Temple Sholom. We bond together in friendship and sisterhood for programs to benefit PTS and the community, for social activities, to study and pray, and for personal development and Jewish growth. Sholom Women is the collective presence, voice and strength of women. It is the place where women can meet and work together for the benefit of PTS. Proudly affiliated with the Women of Reform Judaism.

For generations, honey has symbolized sweetness, healing, and hope. A jar sent carries more than flavorr, it's a message that even in challenging times, we choose compassion and resilience. Every jar of honey sent is more than just a sweet gift, it's a donation with purpose that supports Sholom Women and brings meaning to the New Year. Let’s make this our sweetest year yet.
