Bet Aviv’s Vice President Blesses Candles During the Board Installation Service

Bet Aviv is governed by a Board of Directors who meet once per month to discuss issues of importance to our synagogue.  The Board consists of the officers who comprise the Executive Committee, and the Committee Chairs and Members-at-Large who form the Board of Directors.  We discuss new directions for Bet Aviv, review our financial health, hear status from Committee Members and respond to various opportunities to do mitzvahs in the community.
