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 Evening of Lights and Rosh Hodesh Celebration!

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2025 FROM 6-8 PM IN THE SOCIAL HALL.

Sholom Women is providing food and beverages. A baked good for our dessert bar is always welcome.

Let the social hall shine with your smiles and lights from our menorahs and Rosh Hodesh candle bringing in the month of Tevet. Join our Sholom Women friends and our clergy for an evening lighting our menorahs, telling stories, doing some last minute shopping (the Gift Shop will be open at 5:30!), enjoying friendships and reveling in the Hanukkah spirit.

Bring your own menorah (or purchase a new one!) and your smiles as we gather for a lovely Hanukkah celebration.
