About Us

Shaarey Zedek Sisterhood has been in existence since 1920, and still continues to be an integral part of the Synagogue. The Sisterhood offers women of all ages the opportunity to come together to socialize, work on special projects and learn through programs such as the annual Interfaith Luncheon held in the spring of each year, lectures on Ovarian Cancer, the annual Sisterhood Shabbatton and a variety of social programs ranging from fashion shows to learning how to care for yourself.

Sisterhood very generously donated all the furnishings in the seating area in the lower level lobby. A recent very special gift to the synagogue is the electronic information message centre in the lower level lobby. People coming into the synagogue can see what services and programs are taking place each day of the week, what time services are being held as well as where they are located, who is celebrating a special day in their lives at Shaarey Zedek, along with a great deal of other synagogue related information.

Shaarey Zedek Sisterhood is proud to support Osborne House, a safe place for women and their children. Along with contributions from our members and congregants, and members of the community at large, we provide some of the material items from Osborne House's "wish list", to help them help some of the most vulnerable members of our society.    We hope to start a new tradition of bringing an item for Osborne House whenever we come to the synagogue for a Sisterhood event.  There is always a donation box in or near the lower lobby of the synagogue.

Below you will find our schedule of suggested donations, but of course donations of any of these items, and many others, are welcome at any any time.  For other suggestions, and more information, please visit http://osbornehouse.shelternet.ca.

Suggested Osborne House Donation Schedule

Toiletries, diapers and product coupons are needed! A drop-box is located in the lower level of the synagogue under the information table. Help support the Osborne House nutricious snack program. Drop off a grocery store gift card to the synagogue office.
