    President's Message

    If there ever were a group that touched our community, it would be CCI's sisterhood.

    This is not your mother's Sisterhood.
    Look at all the energetic women of CCI:

    We have young women who share in the lives of their children in the classroom, women who come to temple to study Torah, and women who find friendship and warmth with one another.

    What about the Matriarchs who have planted the seeds for all of us to grow. Without them, our temple would not be where it is today.

    The list of dynamic women, all CCI women, who create projects for our community, is gratifying beyond measure.

    Our Jewish journey together as one sisterhood is fun, spiritual, dynamic and most of all, energetic with passion.

    This is the sisterhood of CCI. Become part of this amazing segment of our temple and make your mark in Congregation Temple of Israel.
