Leadership Council
A Leadership Council of no more than 35 members is nominated by the Board of Trustees and composed of the Congregation’s past Presidents, Clergy Emeritus, the Director of Jewish Learning and Living Emerita, Presidents of the Congregation’s Brotherhood, Parenthood, Women of Reform Judaism, B.O.F.T.Y (Boca’s Original federation of Temple Youth), and various other members of the congregation.
