Women of CSR

Here at CSR, we call our division of WRJ (Women of Reform Judaism) Women of CSR, the Synagogue's sisterhood.
​
The Women of CSR celebrate annual events such as Sushi in the Sukkah and a women’s Passover event. We provide gifts to our b’mitzvah. We support women’s issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and protecting victims of gender based violence. And, we raise tzedakah through various efforts throughout the year. Women of CSR members enjoy crafting, playing games, cooking together and learning. Please join us.
