About the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of Congregation Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills is responsible for the governance of the congregation. This includes planning, operations and financial oversight as well as  maintaining the synagogue’s positive public standing in the community. This team of dedicated congregant volunteers works tirelessly to promote the congregation’s mission: to serve as a House of Prayer (Beit Tefilah), a House of Assembly (Beit Knesset), and a House of Study (Beit Midrash) in which, under the guidance of our rabbi, the spectrum of Jewish tradition and creative expression is cultivated, protected and nurtured.  

The Board of Directors generally meets at 7:30 p.m. on the first Monday every other month, with Executive Committee meetings scheduled every month. Meetings of the Board of Directors are open to members of the congregation. Please check the online calendar for the schedule.

If you’re interested in serving on the board or a committee, please email Karen Friedman-Hanna & Nancy Mollitor, Board Co-Presidents. Elections to fill board seats are held at the annual meeting in May.
