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.

Sholom Women Listening Campaign

Our Sholom Women Leadership Council has elected to take time to step back and pause our yearly programming, limiting our energy on a few events and focusing the majority of our time on a Listening/Kolot Campaign, "Kol Isha," with the women of PTS. The goal this year is to find what interests the women at PTS. We will be conducting several small group discussions and hope that you can join our upcoming conversations.

We do plan to continue the Gift Shop, Monthly Mah Jongg with Beth El Women, our Annual Evening Under the Sukkah and Rosh Hodesh Celebrations. Scroll down to our events and calendar!

Rosh Hodesh Celebrations

Rosh Hodesh is a time for women to honor tradition and share a contemporary experience. Past participants and new faces are welcome! We gather monthly. See calendar below for details on the next event.

Kol Isha - Women's Voices Matter.

Sholom Women has hosted small group conversations to learn about the needs and interests of the women in our PTS community.

Following this year's Kol Isha campaign, we will share a summary of our conversations, as well as our thoughts for the future. We've learned, connected and heard from several PTS women, and are so grateful for the participation. Please join us for brunch on Saturday, June 7th from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM at the home of Eileen Marchasin, as we share all we have learned!

To RSVP for brunch or if you wish to learn more about Kol Isha: Women's Voices Matter, kindly reach out to Kathleen Shugar at Kshugar@yahoo.com.
