Are there women near me who keep Torah?

Find a meetup

Zoom in to your area and click a pin. Each pin shows the hostess’s name, her city, who her group is for, and how to reach her. Pin locations are somewhat vague on purpose. She will tell you exactly where and when her group meets once you say reach out and introduce yourself.

Please read before you go. Meetups are independent gatherings hosted by volunteer women. Torah Sisters LLC lists them as a courtesy but does not organize, supervise or insure them, does not run background checks, and is not responsible for what happens at them. Use the same good sense and safety cautions you would when meeting anyone new. By attending, you accept that you do so at your own risk and release Torah Sisters LLC and its owners from any related claims.

Questions & answers

Please actually read these so you know what to expect. If your question is not here, write to me.

A casual, local get-together of women who love Yeshua and keep the whole Bible. A hostess picks a place and a time, other Sisters show up, and everyone gets to meet likeminded women who live nearby. Think coffee and conversation, not a service.

No. Sabbath fellowships are wonderful and necessary, but they are a bigger commitment, and within the Torah community there are many differing views. Torah Sisters Meetups are meant to be lighter and more fun while still being meaningful. The hostess is a facilitator, not a pastor — she simply opens the door. Some groups may enjoy a short Bible study or discussion, but the point is to meet each other. 

Each hostess decides who her group is for: all adult women, moms with children in tow, single women, moms and their teen girls, and so on. Her map pin tells you. If a meetup is not the right fit for you, another one may start another meetup nearby — or you could host one yourself.

Please make sure you join us in these core beliefs before attending:

1. Torah is for Christians today.
2. Yeshua is Messiah and our source of salvation.
3. Agree to not promote polygamy, New Age practices, or denying Yeshua as divine.

Make the hostess's job easy. Be lovely and easy to get along with. Don't come with an agenda to teach, take over, change her meetup/group or change anyone's beliefs. Come to make friends and encourage one another.

A hostess has the right and responsibility to tell you if her meetup is not a good fit for you and that you may not come again.

Directly. Click her pin on the map and use the email address or phone number she chose to share. Introduce yourself and she will tell you where and when her group meets. Nothing goes through me, and exact addresses are never posted on this website.

Wherever and whenever the hostess chooses — a coffee shop, a library meeting room, a park pavilion, and so on. Some groups meet monthly, some every few months. Ask the hostess; it may change with the seasons of her life.

No. There is no fee to attend or to host. If a group meets at a coffee shop or restaurant, plan on buying your own food or coffee, or just sit and enjoy the company. If a group decides to do an outing that costs money each woman must pay her own way and you'll have the option to decide if you want to attend or not. Do not ask the hostess or other attendees to pay for your food, coffee or outing fees. They are not expected to pay anything. 

They probably will in some small way — that is normal in our community. Come to make friends, not to debate. We avoid strife and arguing, and we keep the main things the main things: love for Yeshua and obedience to the whole Bible.

Two options. Sign up to be notified and I will email you the moment a group starts in your state or country. Or, if you are willing, become a hostess — every single meetup on the map started with one woman saying yes.

Yes! Different hostesses, different days, different kinds of groups. The more the merrier.

Meetups are for women. My prayer is that as Sisters become close friends, whole families will connect and maybe even new home fellowships will grow out of those friendships someday. But step one is simply helping the women find each other.

Be a Meetup Hostess

A Torah Sisters Meetup hostess is not a pastor, a teacher, or an event planner. She is a woman who says, “Come sit with me,” and then picks a place and a time. If you have ever wished there were likeminded women nearby, you may be the one who gathers them. Please consider taking on this important ministry.

Your part

• Be reachable. Reply to the ladies who contact you and help them get plugged in.
• Meet somewhat regularly — on whatever schedule you chose.
• Keep it casual and kind. Facilitate, don’t preach; welcome, don’t debate.
• Tell me if life changes and you need to pause or close your group, so I can update the map.

Before you sign up

Please read the Hostess Handbook first.

It is short, it is in my own words, and it tells you exactly what I will do for you and what I ask of you. If it still sounds like you, come back and fill out the form below.

Ladies reach out

They contact you directly. You tell them where and when.

Still deciding? That is fine. Read the FAQ above, pray about it, and come back when you are ready. The door will still be here.
