Volunteer Opportunities
Helping Hands Volunteers: Buy and bring food, get "green" supplies, be the friendly face setting up the kiddush or dinner. Be a greeter to welcome folks to our services and events. Help decorate the room. Be the one who says "I can do it, what do you need done?" Contact our Volunteer Coordinator Alena Strauss: alena@alenastrauss.com
Pre-service activities: We would like to offer 45 minute activities every Saturday before services (from 9-9:45) to enhance our Shabbat morning experience. We are looking for people to lead a session of yoga, meditation, book discussion, movie discussion, singing workshop, dance workshop, or any other skill, expertise, knowledge, or talent you can offer about once every 4-6 weeks. Share with us your passion and make Shabbat morning a learning, growing experience! Contact our Volunteer Pre-Service Activity Coordinator Noa Ashkenazi: noaa@yorku.ca.
Shiva Minyan: Be a comforting presence when a City Shul member has a loss. We will train you in how to lead a shiva minyan, or just volunteer to go and be a "minyanaire" for our community. Contact our Volunteer Shiva Minyan coordinator Daniel Gruner: dgruner@gmail.com.
Musicians/Singers Wanted! Can you lead a service, either Friday night or Saturday morning? If you are remotely familiar with services we can train you! Want to learn to chant Torah or haftarah? We can teach you! Contact rabbi@cityshul.com.
Mitzvah Group: Visit City Shul members when they are in hospital. Bake and cook for those who are sitting shiva or have just had a baby or are new in town. Organize rides for those who may need a lift to get to shul. Be the smile when a City Shul'er is lonely, stuck at home, sick in bed, needs a phone call. Host students whose families are out of town or new Jews who would like to be invited to a Shabbos dinner. And lots more ways to do mitzvahs and create a real, caring community.
