Volunteer Opportunities
Sha'arei Orah Committees
At our annual membership meeting, we had the opportunity to hear about all of the accomplishments and plans of our shul's lay-led committees. Going forward, there's so much that we can build together, but it's going to take everyone's talents. There are committees that could use new members, and in addition to committees, there are lots of other big and small ways you can volunteer your talents. On the form below you can sign up for committees and also let us know what kinds of talents and skills you would like to offer our community.
Here's a link to the form: https://forms.gle/5gUwFFyYSP2ZBFeZ8
