“Enriched By Our Past…
…Endowing Our Future.”
Congregation Shaarey Zedek Sisterhood is an organization of women who help raise funds and promote the education of our congregational youth. We are first and foremost a group of Sisters. We work for the good of our youth, our congregation, our Greater Lansing area, and beyond. Our yearly subsidy is to the religious school; however, we also provide many other congregational services, such as running the gift shop, maintaining the kitchen, putting on Onegs, Kiddushim, Passover Seders, Yom Kippur;Break-fasts, as well as many other wonderful events and programs.
