Deadline: Monday, October 20

Congregation Shaarey Zedek is a centre for Conservative Judaism that welcomes the community to experience spiritual growth, continuing education, and the enrichment of lifecycle events.

Looking for a meaningful connection to your Jewish identity? Do you want to shape the future of our community?

The synagogue is seeking two new Board Members as well as Cemetery and Investment Committee Members to begin their term this Fall at the next Annual General Meeting (AGM), Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

Joining the Board of Directors, Cemetery and/or Investment Committee at Congregation Shaarey Zedek will give you the opportunity to offer your time and skill set to the service of your community.

Bring your personal and professional expertise and experience…a Passion for Israel, Jewish History and Learning, Ritual Life… and be a part of a team committed to creating a vibrant synagogue and centre of Jewish life.

We are looking for representation from a variety of demographic groups and skill sets to round out our team.

You will gain experience working on a board or committee, networking with community members, congregants, leadership, and other stakeholders while paving the way for the community to thrive today and into the future.

Board of Director duties will include engaging in monthly meetings, participating in programs and initiatives as well as Shabbat and holiday prayer services and celebrations. Board members will also have the responsibility and honour to represent the synagogue at a variety of events and commemorations with community partners as well as the local Interfaith and general community.

Cemetery Committee members will meet on a regular basis to review and revise policy pertaining to the management of the Shaarey Zedek Cemetery.

Investment Committee members will be voting members and will be expected to attend quarterly committee meetings. You will interact with our Investment Manager and the experienced committee members to participate in developing and implementing changes to our Investment Policy, assessing the performance of our Investment Manager and related financial matters. The Synagogue depends on this important committee for effective investment management of its assets to help fund its activities.  

We are also excited to share that Congregation Shaarey Zedek is launching two new committees that will strengthen our community and ensure our vitality for generations to come. 

1. Planned Giving Committee - Planned giving is about creating a lasting impact. This committee will help guide and promote opportunities for SZ members to leave a legacy through thoughtful gifts that sustain Shaarey Zedek’s future. We are looking for individuals who bring passion for the congregation’s long-term vision and, ideally, experience in areas such as finance, law, fundraising, or community leadership.

2. Volunteering & Engagement Committee - Shaarey Zedek is built on relationships, connection, and active participation. This committee will focus on creating meaningful volunteer opportunities, engaging members of all ages, and ensuring that everyone feels welcomed and valued. We are seeking people who are enthusiastic about building community, strengthening belonging, and bringing creative ideas for member engagement.

Shaarey Zedek members in good standing, please email your résumé for consideration by Monday, October 20th to Inna Liss Haim at inna@szwinnipeg.ca and your information will be supplied to the Chair of the Nominating Committee, Mr. Neil Duboff, Immediate Past President.
