Volunteer
Volunteers Help Keep Our Shul Vibrant
The operation of a vibrant congregation such as ours does not happen by chance. In addition to a full time staff, the synagogue is led by a number of highly motivated lay leaders and volunteers. Members are no doubt familiar with our wonderful clergy and the staff who keep things running on a day-to-day basis, often behind the scenes. We’re grateful to have such a dedicated team.
The volunteer contingent play an important role in keeping our shul operating. They govern on behalf of the membership and get involved in a variety of ways, from leading daily minyan to organizing educational programs, to leading our youth, and more.
Current Board Directors and other synagogue members have fully embraced the opportunity to get involved in committee work, with some committees newly revitalized. But involvement is not limited to “insiders”. If you have an inkling to get involved, no matter what the interest, talent or amount of time you have available, let us know!
