Ner Tamid - Connecting Jews to Torah and to Each Other

 In today's world, Jews join synagogues for many reasons: to give their children a Jewish education and a Jewish identity, to attend services, to learn Torah, to meet with the Rabbi for spiritual reasons and to make friends with others in our Jewish community.  

One of the best ways to connect with others is to participate in our events and to volunteer! Working on a common project or cause solidifies the bonds of friendship.

Ner Tamid has a number of opportunities to step forward to make ours a better community. Keep reading for specifics...

The Caring Committee

This committee reaches out to members who may be ill, hospitalized or having personal difficulties.  You may spent 2-4 hours visiting or calling our members per month.

Kitchen Volunteers for Shabbat prep or special events

This may take 10 or 15 minutes at the end of services or a  Friday afternoon.

The Gala Committee

If you like to plan parties, this one is for you! You will meet about once a month in the 4 months preceding the Gala, which is in March.

Hebrew School Support

Our Education Director Becky Bar-Lev Henning and her team would love to have parents support throughout this year. This could be volunteering to help at a Family Shabbat, prep for school projects, supporting our Lake Poway day events, or donating to sponsor a Family Shabbat/holiday. 

General Volunteers

You could find yourself grilling hotdogs, sorting items for our Rummage Sale,  unearthing the accumulated stuff in a back room, or any other need that stretches the abilities of our staff. If you just want to help where we need you, let us know!

What unique abilities can you share with us?

Can you speak on a topic, religious or secular?

Show us how to make challah, organize a bowling or movie night!  

These are just a few ideas, but we'd like to know what you'd like to offer!
