GET INVOLVED AT THE VILLAGE SHUL

Are you interested in supporting The Village Shul and making a difference?

We’re opening up new and existing committees and building a roster of volunteers to help continue all the amazing things the VS has to offer.

There are so many opportunities to choose from, and more hands make light work—so the more, the merrier! The more volunteers we have, the less each person needs to do to help keep VS thriving.

Joining a committee is also a great way to get to know the inner workings of the shul and see if a future seat on the board might be something you’d be interested in.

Click the link below to let us know where you’d like to get involved!

RESPECTING OUR SHARED SPACE

FOOD AND BEVERAGE POLICY

To ensure full compliance with Kashrut laws, all food and beverages brought onto the premises must be coordinated through the main office, which verifies that all items are kosher and permissible.

All food and beverage arrangements must be made through the office. If you wish to supplement our standard offerings, prior approval from one of the Rabbis is required. Should you wish to arrange for any food or beverages outside of the usual sponsorship options, please request a meeting with the office in advance to review the details and obtain Rabbinic approval before bringing anything into the shul.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
