Youth Programming Chairs
The Beth Tikvah Youth Chair serves to empower Jewish youth to develop friendships, leadership skills and a sense of belonging to the Jewish People. Our youth programming looks to bring deep engagement with and love for Israel, and a commitment to inspired Jewish living through meaningful and fun experiences based on the ideology of Conservative Judaism. Our inclusive youth groups Atid, Kadima and USY welcome all who are interested in taking part!
An active and vibrant group of women that seek to build relationships and strengthen their Jewish commitment through social and educational programs, from youth to seniors, this group comes together throughout the year to make a difference in people’s lives.
The Community Liason works on building relationships with key people at Kehila, Jewish Comunity, Jewish schools, shuls, and youth movements, to encourage positive relationships with Beth Tikvah. The Community Liason raises awareness of Beth Tikvah, across the whole Jewish spectrum and informs professionals about Beth Tikvah programs as well as work together to achieve mutual goals.
The Ritual Committee oversees all aspects of services at the synagogue, including Shabbatot, B’nei Mitzvah, as well as holiday services and programming. There is a large emphasis on co-ordinating the High Holidays services, Festival services, Shabbat dinners, the community Passover Seder, and the food menu during other holidays, such as Sukkot and Shavuot. The Ritual Committee seeks to improve and refine our services, help the Rabbi with the list of duties assigned to the Gabbayim, as well as train new and existing Torah readers (post-B’nei Mitzvah)
