Our Committees
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is responsible for the RJC’s planning, budgeting, and operations, as well as the center's public representation. This committee is accountable for various synagogue expenditures, working with the rabbi, and maintaining the master calendar of all that goes on in the RJC community. It is the committee to which all other committees report.
Building/House Committee
The House Committee is responsible for the RJC's physical plant, including all aspects of the building's structure and systems. This committee is charged with keeping the RJC in good condition, both inside and out. This includes arranging for repairs and upgrades to the building and grounds and dealing with technology issues such as telephony, computers and Internet service. In addition, the House Committee is charged with set-up and coordination of cleanup for events, coordinating rentals, and purchasing maintenance items. It also oversees the Aesthetics Committee, a subcommittee responsible for the details of the building's decor.
Cemetery Committee
