Gabbaim
Our Ritual Committee is currently headed by our dedicated, hardworking Gabbai (ritual director), Dr. Larry Brown and Andrew Stitcher. In addition, there are several deputy Gabbaim in our shul who serve in a supplemental fashion to help run both the Minyan in the main sanctuary and our Hashkamah Minyan on Shabbat morning and Chaggim. As elected officers, the Gabbai (or Gabbaim) also serve as members of the Executive Committee of our congregation.
The Gabbaim work closely with our Rabbi to set davening times and coordinate all aspects of minyanim for Shabbat, Yomim Noraim (High Holidays), and the Chaggim. Our elected Gabbaim also assign all kibudim (honors) for the Yomim Noraim, as well as throughout the year. They also stand ready to help a member commemorate a yahrzeit or celebrate a simchah.
The Ritual Committee meets several times a year to discuss ritual practice for our Tefillah services.
