Home to the Jewish Community of Lebanon, Pennsylvania

Board of Directors

          Congregation Beth Israel is governed by our trustees, officers and a board of directors that meets every month. Our monthly meetings have a Presidents report as well as a secretary and treasurer who review all correspondence and accounts payables. Also included in the meetings are detailed financial descriptions provided for our board members. Our Spiritual Leader gives us her account of religious activities that occurred during the month and explains all the upcoming plans to integrate more community and attendance into events & services.

          We have many committee chairpersons who inform the board of events, both past an current that are important to the congregation.  Twice a year we have congregational gatherings that are held concurrent with the board meetings that allow our members to have input as to what events have transpired during this period.

          Published minutes are send out to our board members following every monthly meeting.

We believe in transparency and all actions taken by our leaders must be approved at these monthly assemblies.
