Volunteer Opportunities
Committees, Auxiliaries & Volunteer Programs
The artist draws an outline of a picture and then fills int he colors to bring a scene to life. That is the same vibrancy of that occurs when we our volunteers add their own unique color to the activities at B'nai Aviv. The outline for our success is clear, but only with volunteers does our picture fill with energy and become alive.
This is your synagogue and your community. We are a volunteer driven organization that needs, and thrives, on your involvement. We help each other, support each other. We are part of a truly dynamic and energized synagogue and we will grow stronger through each member's participation.
There are so many opportunities for all of you to get involved at B'nai Aviv in your own unique way. I urge you to enthusiastically volunteer and participate in activities of your choosing. Please don't wait for others to do what you have a passion for. We will do this together.
