Ritual Committee
Ritual Committee
Beth Jacob is a lay-lead congregation. We have several rabbis and knowledgable people who are members of our congregation. They, along with other congregants, lead weekly services, tutor bar/bat mitzvah students, and lead high holiday services. A ritual committee sets our worship schedule and recruits leaders.
