Our Board of Directors is comprised of eighteen men and women who care deeply about Bnai Shalom and are committed to helping our congregation thrive. These dedicated volunteers do much more than meet each month to discuss the state of our synagogue and review policies. They chair committees, lead programs, participate in fundraising efforts at Bnai Shalom and throughout the greater Lehigh Valley, and work tirelessly behind the scenes to help ensure that our congregation remains strong and vibrant.
The Board continually strives to find the right balance between providing the resources needed to sustain Bnai Shalom as a vibrant center of Jewish life while being mindful and compassionate of the different circumstances and needs within our congregation. While Board members may not always agree on every decision, they respect one another's perspectives and remain committed to supporting the Board's decisions and moving forward together.
So much happens behind the scenes at Bnai Shalom—from building maintenance and security to ritual life, fiscal planning, staffing, programming, and preparing for the future. Our Board takes these responsibilities seriously because they understand that Bnai Shalom is more than a building—it is our Jewish home and our community. The Board cannot do this alone. We need your ideas, your involvement, your talents, and your support. If you have a thought, concern, suggestion, or idea about Bnai Shalom, we encourage you to reach out to any Board member. Your voice matters, and your input helps us better understand our congregation's needs and wishes. Together, we shape our services and programs, create meaningful activities and gatherings, and address the important issues that help move our congregation forward.
Bnai Shalom thrives because we care — and because we care together.
