We are a multi-generational group of women who offer support to our religious school, synagogue, and community. With several special interest groups and events ranging from social to community service, we hope to provide you a stronger connection to the CAA family.
Sisterhood Agudas Achim supports our own community through a vast array of programming for the congregants as well as contributing financially to the CAARS (Congregation Agudas Achim Religious school), United Synagogue Youth (USY) and other synagogue projects.
Sisterhood Agudas Achim is a member of the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, the largest synagogue-based conservative women’s organization in the world. Our mission is to strengthen and unite the women of our congregation and support them in mutual efforts, to understand and perpetuate Conservative Judaism in the home, synagogue, and community and to reinforce our bonds with Israel and Jews worldwide.

Sisterhood Shabbat
Saturday, January 26
On this Shabbat, we honor and thank the women of CAA’s Sisterhood when they are called up to ascend the Bimah. As part of our affiliation with the Women’s League of Conservative Judaism, we join sisterhoods all over North America to celebrate the strength of our Sisterhood. Our collective voices and energy remind us of the power of women when united for common goals.
