Volunteers - The Heart of Temple

Temple B’nai Tikvah has a proud history of volunteer engagement. We encourage all members to be get involved in the many fun and meaningful activities that strengthen our kehilla kedosha, our sacred synagogue community. There are many ways that you and your family can be involved, making new friends and strengthening our community along the way.

Volunteering can fit your interests, your passions, and maybe most importantly, your schedule. Some projects offer opportunities for ongoing engagement, some only a one-time commitment. Please see the committees and activities listed below.

If you are interested in volunteering for one or more of these opportunities, please check box(es) below. One of our Volunteer Committee members will contact you to let you know more on how you can participate.
