Volunteering

Your talent and time make a difference

Rabbi Hillel asked, “If I am only for myself, what am I?” Sherith Israel relies on volunteers for both day-to-day operations and long-range goals and planning. Even a little help goes a long way. By making time for your synagogue, you honor and reward yourself and all our members. Please consider what you can do today. As Rabbi Hillel also noted, “If not now, when?”

Committees

Our board and committees create policy, plan programs and work with our staff. Talented, thoughtful members take part in a variety of important administrative and membership projects and activities. Your leadership, insight and strategic thinking are welcome in a variety of vital areas: education, community and membership, communications, ritual, budget and finance, executive, building and grounds, development, trustees and social action.

Caring Community
Members in a time of need or celebrating a simcha find assistance from volunteers in the Caring Community program.

If you enjoy ritual music and like to sing, your voice and spirit will be a wonderful addition to our congregational chorus that delights us at Shabbat services, holidays and special occasions.
