SYNAGOGUES
West End Synagogue Sisterhood 3810 West End Avenue Nashville, TN 37205 (615) 269-4592 Fax: (615) 269-4695 office@westendsyn.org Contact Barbara Silberschein Herman, president Bbayla73@gmail.com About us The West End Synagogue Sisterhood is involved in activities that enrich our congregation, support religious education and enhance our youth programs. Members span a wide range of interests, ages and backgrounds. The sisterhood was founded in 1903 and affiliated with the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism (WLCJ) in 1948. New female synagogue members receive a free one-year sisterhood membership. WES Sisterhood nourishes our religious school and congregation family – financially and literally with food. Through money raised by selling Purim bags (mishloach manot), the sisterhood pays for enhanced school programming and hosts a first-day-of-school brunch for religious school parents. The sisterhood prepares several Shabbat Kiddush meals and Friday night family dinners each year. We support our kosher kitchens and the Yom Kippur break-fast meal. WES Sisterhood supports our youth of all ages. We offer discounted babysitting during the High Holidays for infants and children through age 12. We fund transportation to conventions for the congregation’s two youth groups, Kadima (middle school) and United Synagogue Youth (for high school students), and we send the USY young leader to the group’s annual leadership retreat. We help WES maintain its distinction as the Conservative congregation with the most children attending Camp Ramah Darom by providing scholarships to families in need. Finally, we send holiday gift packages to our college students so they remain connected to WES. As a member of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, we support the Conservative movement via the annual Torah Fund campaign. This money helps educate our clergy and educational students at two seminaries in the United States, one in Israel and the one attended by our own Rabbi Joshua Kullock, Seminario Rabinico Latinoamericano in Buenos Aires. We foster our personal Jewish education and spiritual growth through participation in Sisterhood Shabbat and a lively book club. We also operate the WES Judaica Shop, which is open on Wednesday afternoons until 6:30 p.m. and on Sunday mornings during the school year. Other hours are available by appointment through the synagogue office.
