High Holy Days Ushers
We are looking for volunteers in our community to serve as ushers to help create a warm environment and ensure a smooth holiday experience.
Ushers are needed for the Sanctuary Services as well as our Family and Pre-Readers Services. It is a low time commitment and delivers high impact for our entire TBJ family. Please sign-up below to volunteer or learn more.
