Lay Leadership

Board Retreat at the JCC Family Recreation Park — 2010

Temple Sinai depends in large part on volunteers who give their time, energy and expertise in helping our mission move forward. Our Temple Board comprises a cross-section of members who meet on a monthly basis to discuss issues particular to the synagogue goals, membership and property. Substantially all board meetings are open to the entire membership.

The Executive Committee meets once a month in a closed session to review in more detail the concerns of the day, the financial health of the organization and long-range planning.
