There is something very special about being a member of the Melville Jewish Center Sisterhood. Sisterhood provides friendship and camaraderie with other Jewish women in the community – both young and old. The Melville JC Sisterhood is active and involved in many areas of synagogue life. This vital and exciting group of women contribute greatly and provide a wonderful tradition of service to our congregation.
