Our Leadership

STBZ has a very involved and diverse leadership. Our board members come from a variety of backgrounds and use their experience to build and maintain a vibrant community. Our Rabbi, professional staff and lay leaders work together with the goal of creating, developing, and sustaining a spark for Judaism and Jewish life within our congregational family. Members are encouraged to participate on committees, volunteer for special events and suggest programming and ritual ideas in a welcoming environment. As a congregation, we provide a meaningful prayer, learning and social environment for our congregants.
