Join the board
Dear Shenk Community,
For years we have watched the Shenk Shul grow and thrive. We have felt the sense of community, the powerful energy, and the positive momentum continue to build. Our shul, which began as a simple shabbat minyan, has flourished into a place of powerful davening (on Shabbat and weekdays!), exciting events, delicious meals, and insightful shiurim. It’s become a true institution of Washington Heights and a religious and social center for so many. All of this has been accomplished with the talent, energy, commitment, and leadership of the members of our Shenk Board.
We need your help to continue to serve this community we so love. We are looking for dedicated men and women to join the team for the 2020-21. Join us as we build on our accomplishments and continue to take our community to new heights! (Get it?)
