Congregation Meeting July 2014
Meeting Comment Cards
Summary of the Responses


What is Going Well?

  • Variety of Shabbat Services
  • Rabbi’s Sermons
  • Shabbat’s time for service
  • “Special” onegs
  • Good all-around range of programs: dinners, social events, classes, speakers, films, etc.
  • Wide participation on committees, boards, and other positions of responsibility, this willingness to get involved and to step up when needed
  • Aleinu series – bring it back!
  • Events like this – FUN and brings people together
  • Rock Shabbat – it rocks
  • Linda is doing a very creative job as Oneg Coordinator
  • Great group of people
  • I love all of the cool events that are being held: Rock Shabbat, Chinese, etc. FUN
  • Folk Service
  • Rock Shabbat – what about a Jazz or Blues Shabbat?



What Would You Like to See More Of?

  • Rabbi’s blog updated
  • Congregants should wear nametags
  • Continue the idea of gatherings at people’s home (in various parts of time)
  • Concerned that fundraising is being done by one person with no committee – needs more manpower
  • Activities and get-togethers
  • Disagree with tuition free but hope it works out
  • More music in all services
  • More congregational involvement in interfaith affairs as well as with other Jewish organizations, but not sure how effectively it is working at this point
  • Occasional guest speakers at regular Shabbat services would be welcome
  • Trips to other Jewish houses of worship from time to time might be of interest
  • Spirituality – effort in the liturgy
  • Board calling members at High Holidays to wish them a Happy New Year or to call them to remind them of a meeting – such as tonight
  • The library has been neglected and needs attention – either a volunteer or staffing
  • Continue asking for input and reaching out. It is wonderful. Thanks for all the hard work
  • Want themed services – at least try it
  • Social Action, worship attendance, social media



In an upcoming blog, I will list action taken on each of the "What would you like to see more of" category.
