How is Beit Shofarot governed?
Beit Shofarot is governed by a Board of Directors, one of whom is the Congregational Leader. The Congregational Leader, or Rabbi, carries the primary responsibility for teaching and daily ministry needs. The Board shares in responsibility as overseers of the congregation’s finances, general spiritual life, and administrative affairs. The Leadership Board, Budget Committee, office staff, deacons, ministry leaders and others share in carrying out the work of ministry as is delegated to them. In matters affecting the community as a whole, congregational meetings are held (at least twice a year) to give financial reports, current state of affairs, and address any issues as needed. Though this is not a voting congregation, any person is free to present their ideas, concerns, or questions to leadership on a regular basis.
