Mission
Women of Temple Rodef Shalom offers a wealth of opportunities for friendship and service through our many projects and programs. All members are welcome to attend our board meetings, which are held the first Wednesday of the month at 10 AM at TRS.
Volunteers are always needed for projects such as Bagel Bar, Treasures, Women of TRS Shabbat, Judy’s Place Holiday Shop for Children and the TRS Blood Drive. Expand your horizons with programs such as the Cultural Outings Group, the Book Club, or play Bridge and Mah Jongg (see descriptions below of these and many more programs).
Participating in the Women of TRS is a wonderful way to become more involved in the congregational life of TRS and the greater Jewish community.
Women of TRS Projects
The Bagel Bar: This Sunday morning gathering place is where congregants can socialize, hold small meetings, and wait for children who are attending religious school. . . and, of course, enjoy some fresh hot coffee, bagels and schmear!
Treasures: Stop by our wonderful gift shop! We offer one-stop shopping of Judaica and fine gifts. Visit Treasures webpage here.
Blood Drive: Give the gift of life! Twice a year Sisterhood organizes a Blood Drive and our Temple Members respond generously.
Judy’s Place: Gives all children the opportunity to learn the joys of giving when they pick out gifts that have been wrapped and are ready for them to buy and give to family and friends.
Action Calls: Critical issues are tracked and brought to the attention of our Women of TRS members who respond to action calls by writing and calling our representatives in our government.
Social Action: Women of TRS members support the Falls Church Day Care Center, help the homeless, work with the TRS Soup Kitchen, and participate in Mitzvah Day.
Special Event Rental: Rent Table Settings for your Simcha. Beautiful china, flatware, and glassware are available for rent for events held in our Social Hall. Contact Vicki Nelson at wasagoldberg@gmail.com or Su Hale bobsu147@aol.com for more information.
