Select members of the Congregational Council form a core management team to provide ongoing coordination of all aspects of synagogue life. Every event, program, and activity is led by a layperson that works in coordination with the Executive Director, Meirav Finley. An officer of the council may volunteer to run a program or event. When it is completed, that volunteer may decide to step down from the Council team until a new, inspiring idea emerges.
The Officers of the Congregational Council do not have a specific tenure of office.
