Are you an armchair pundit? Do you have ideas about ways to grow Congregation Tifereth Israel, expand our programs, increase our membership, and refresh our buildings and grounds?

Do you have ideas for new initiatives? Would you like to lead or manage a new program or project? Or facilitate an expansion or renovation?

Are you a new member with a fresh perspective, but reluctant to make your voice heard because you do not want to disturb the status quo?

If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, we want to hear from you. Consider stepping up and stepping out…into a leadership position.

Our shul depends on the good will, the good intentions, and the commitment of our members and friends.  CTI needs robust leadership with a bit of chutzpah.

We have built a stable and steady history for more than 120 years, and the growth in our synagogue is visible. The stage is set. The players are in the wings. The infrastructure is in place. Our medley of voices can be heard. Our future is you.

So, if you are one of those armchair pundits, you represent the future of Congregation Tifereth Israel. If you have thoughts or ideas you want to share, please email me at  jkweiner@icloud.com.

Remember, TOGETHER we are our future.
