What We Do

Monthly Meeting

All “Women of Temple Judea” are welcome and encouraged to join us at our monthly meetings, held the third Wednesday of every month. Yes, there is nosh. But most important, there is Sisterhood. Come meet the other ladies of the Temple. We would love your feedback and input on the topics and issues that affect YOU and YOUR FAMILY.

Rosh Chodesh Events

Women of Temple Judea is reviving the celebration of Rosh Chodesh with monthly programming that offers a powerful opportunity for women to gather, celebrate, and reconnect with their bodies, community, and spiritual practices. From yoga meditations to spiritual hikes, Hassidic study, health workshops, and Shabbat brunches, in defiance of this modern stress-filled world, Temple Judea’s Rosh Chodesh events will offer an array of activities that prioritize self-care, friendship and connection, and will embrace holistic well-being through a uniquely Jewish lens.

Women's Retreat: Water in the Desert

Whether you are looking for a way to engage in self care, expand your mind through Judaic study, discover a happier and healthier you, or to decompress and recharge...Retreat with women in your community.

This year, we venture to Palm Springs for our annual Women’s Retreat as we explore the theme of “Water in the Desert”. Water has a powerful presence in many Jewish rituals and stories. Just like us, the well must be tended to and refilled in order to serve its purpose. Join us to retreat and refill our souls. All programming includes unique creative activities, Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, Friday and Saturday dinner, snacks, treats and welcome materials. Breakfast on your own (many affordable local options).

Location: Hilton Palm Springs.
Dates : Jan 5, 2024 @ 3pm - Jan 7, 2024 @ 11am.
