- Executive Committee meetings for officers and invited guests are held on the second Monday of the month.
Standing Committees
These are some of Rodfei Zedek’s standing committees and organizations, all of which would benefit from your time and talent. Let the Office know in which ones you are interested, and the committee chair will contact you with more information.
- Administration Committee (Beth Niestat, Chair)
- Oversees the functions of the synagogue office, including representative attendance at staff meetings; performs whatever studies are necessary to advise the Executive Committee on personnel, payroll, and office equipment concerns.
- Education Committee (Miriam Kass, Chair)
- Oversees adult and children's education, and the library; maintains liaison with the schools of the Congregation through communication with principal and parent group leaders.
- The Hoffman Religious School Committee works to review and approve the school policies and curriculum. Within the last few years the Committee has helped create a post-B’nai Mitzvah class and orchestrated partnerships with both Anshe Emet and K.A.M.-Isaiah Israel for Hebrew High School for our high school students. It also advises on Shabbat and High Holiday Family Services. The Committee is composed primarily but not exclusively of parents of children attending the Hoffman Religious School.
- Finance Committee (Sara Segal Loevy, Chair)
- Oversees budget, dues collection, fundraising, the endowment fund, and other matters relating to the finances of the Congregation; prepares and submits annual budget to the Executive Committee and Board; receives monthly statements and annual reports and prepares interpretations and recommendations based on these reports to the Executive Committee and Board.
- House Committee (Joseph Peterson, Chair)
- Oversees maintenance of building and grounds; considers and makes recommendations for repairs and improvements, determining costs.
- Membership Committee (Rhea Basa, Chair)
- The Membership Committee is working to make current members feel more at home at Rodfei and more aware of current programs, classes, celebrations, and services, as well as to attract new members. Last year a Membership Directory was published. Join the Membership Committee as a greeter at Shabbat Services, as a synagogue buddy for a new member or family, or as a wordsmith as we work on communication.
- Program Committee (Sarah Abella, Chair)
- Oversees the cultural activities of the Congregation; ensures creation of appropriate publicity for programs.
- Ritual Committee (Robert Channon, Chair)
