Growing My Circle of Sisterhood

When I think about the three pillars of WRJ, it is difficult to assign a level of importance to one over the others. That said, I will write about the one that brought me to Women of Reform Judaism in the first place, “sisterhood.”

WRJ: Today & Tomorrow

Carol Newman
WRJ has been a big part of my life for 36 years. When I became a member of Women of Temple Solel in Bowie, Maryland, I became an active member and took on (sisterhood) leadership positions, including president and treasurer. After I retired, I attended Mid-Atlantic District events, expanded my circle of friends, and became a district board member where I have served as treasurer and now as Marketing and Communications Vice President.
