Nearly 50 percent of the congregation responded to the Long-Range Planning Committee’s survey, committee member Judith Weiner said at the shul’s November board of directors meeting. The results of the survey will help guide the committee as it plans for a meaningful future for our shul, she said.
Significant among the responses were preferences for classes and lectures in Jewish history, initiatives to attract new members and new fundraising efforts, and a willingness among approximately 83% of respondents to participate in discussions about long-range plans.
Commenting on the survey, shul president Susan Rosenstreich said the responses show “positive energy and a commitment to our synagogue.”
The committee will offer a more detailed presentation to members at the Dec. 15 congregation meeting.
