Building Committee

The Building Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees to change and improve the physical property of the Congregation and then supervises and implements such changes and improvements. The Building Committee also oversees the daily maintenance of the building. The Building Committee oversees the solicitation of bids from vendors to provide goods and services to maintain the physical property of the Congregation, hires vendors and purchases products, and monitors the delivery of such services and the use of such products. The Building Committee engages carpenters, electricians, heating/ventilation/air conditioning specialists, locksmiths, painters, plumbers, roofers, and other skilled trades persons to maintain the operation and condition of the physical plant. The Building Committee participates in addressing the security concerns of the operation of the physical plant.

The Building Committee welcomes the active involvement of members of the Congregation. The Building Committee organizes monthly clean-up events to supplement the activities of the full-time custodial staff. These activities enable members of the Congregation to establish a stronger connection to the shul. The monthly events furnish an opportunity for high school students to obtain community service experience and to fulfill certain requirements that exist in the school systems to demonstrate participation in community service.

The current Chair of the Building Committee is David Hirsh. The Building Committee has approximately 15 active members who participate in the activities of maintaining the physical plant.
