Stitch & B*tch - is an informal, come-as-you-are social group dedicated to the joy of making things and the necessity of good company. This is not a class or a guided workshop; it's simply dedicated time and space for you to work on your projects alongside fellow crafters. All Crafts Welcome: We love variety! Typical crafts include knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, embroidery, mending, and hand sewing, but feel free to bring any portable project you're working on, such as beading, drawing, or small paper crafts.

Women of Connection - is open to women of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you're new to town, a longtime member, working, retired, parenting, partnered, or solo — you’re warmly invited. We meet once a month for relaxed, informal get-togethers like breakfast, lunch, or a walk in the park. It's a simple way to take a break, make new friends, and strengthen our connections — with each other and with Jewish life. Let’s nourish our souls and build something beautiful together.

Traditional Groups

These groups are ongoing with a permanent structure.

Sisterhood

Sisterhood provides an opportunity for women to make a connection with other Jewish women within our Temple community. Sisterhood members connect spiritually, culturally and intellectually through social events, Shabbat retreats and services, fundraising activities and Jewish experiences. Sisterhood supports all youth of the congregation through monthly Young Family Shabbat Experience worship services (formerly Tot Shabbat), Religious School support and connections to college youth.

Whether you are single or married, with or without children, born Jewish, a Jew by Choice or a non-Jew married to someone who is Jewish...without you, we are one woman short. We invite YOU to join us!

Brotherhood

Brotherhood provides a place for the men of Temple to get to know each other and help enrich our synagogue and the greater Denver community. Although we are perhaps best known for our Sunday lox and bagel brunches where we host a speaker and provide breakfast, we are a lot more than that. Among other things, we oversee two college scholarship funds, conduct an annual blood drive, sponsor a team in the citywide synagogue softball league, organize trips to professional sporting events, work on Habitat for Humanity builds, run the grill to provide food at the Mitzvah Day and Fall Back to School BBQs, and sponsor an award called the Milstein Award for the Outstanding Male Confirmand. Most of our events are open to the entire Temple community. We are always looking for new members.

Join or learn more.
