Make a difference...volunteer!

Rabbi Hillel asked, “If I am only for myself, what am I?” Your talent and time make a difference. 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. Please consider what you can do today. As Rabbi Hillel also noted, “If not now, when?”

Shabbat Greeters

It’s a special mitzvah to welcome both congregants and strangers—(friends we haven’t met yet!)—to Shabbat. Our greeters set the tone and make newcomers feel at home. Volunteer once or as often as you like.

Holiday Greeters

As with Shabbat, our greeters set the tone and make newcomers feel welcome during holiday services throughout the year.

Oneg Help

Help us prep and plate food for our friday Onegs from 4-6 pm. Become part of the reason people feel the warmth of our shul.  Volunteer once or regularly. It's up to you!

Oneg Sponsor

Oneg means joy. Bring some joy to the community by sponsoring an after-service reception on the date of your choice. Give a little or a lot.

Grounds and Facilities

Volunteer with our facilities team to keep the buildings clean, tidy, weeded, polished, and ready for congregants and visitors alike. Send an email to be added to the G&F list and get notified about upcoming projects where help is needed.

Koleynu Choir

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.
