GROUPS
MMC is a small but very active congregation. We offer many opportunities for connection. Being active makes us a stronger community.
Sisterhood
Ladies Auxiliary of Moses Montefiore has been helping our community and congregation for over 100 years. We simply now call ourselves “Sisterhood”. Our purpose is to support the religious school, outreach to our members and to help in all Congregational activities.
​
Sisterhood are members of Moses Montefiore Congregation. We encourage anyone to get involved with sisterhood as much or as little as time allows. Sisterhood warmly welcomes all new members to join our organization. We aid in charitable work in our community and wherever else help is needed in helping our fellow Jews. Sisterhood organizes families to host the Friday night Oneg Shabbats and we encourage attending religious services.
​
Meetings are normally held 6 times a year and dues are collected each New Year. Activities include Oneg for Erev Rosh Hashanah, Break-the-fast meal at the conclusion of Yom Kippur, supporting the religious school with Hannukah and Purim festivities and the Bi-Annual Art Auction fund-raiser showcasing local artists. We are also active in maintaining the kitchen with needed tools and gadgets. We spread “sunshine” by sending our members good wishes on birthdays, anniversaries and get well wishes when needed. We support our synagogue financially through our fundraising efforts and are always open to new ideas!

Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam, or repairing the world is a central theme of Judaism. The mission of the Moses Montefiore Tikkun Olam Committee is to reach out to the larger community to help and support others in need. We plan and execute collection drives for food and other items for the local homeless shelter. In addition, we support and maintain contact with other local aid agencies. Although our congregation’s resources are small, we strive to make a difference in our community.

If you are interested in participating in this committee or have an idea or suggestion, please contact tikkunolam@mmcappleton.com.
Mah Jongg
A group of members and friends meet at the synagogue several days a week for a relaxed, friendly afternoon of Mah Jongg. This is a loosely organized group.
