Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteerism is at the heart of synagogue life, and
here at the Queens Jewish Center, we could not fully
function without a strong cadre of volunteers.
Below is a list of volunteer opportunities. Please
consider helping us out with one or more of these
activities by getting in touch with the contact
person listed:
Minyan Attendees
 |
Our tradition requires 10
men over the age of 13 to be present to say
certain prayers, including Kaddish for a
deceased relative. Please consider making
the commitment to come to our minyanim to
help reach that magical number 10. If you
live close by and are willing to come to
shul on notice when we are in need, please
contact the shul office, who will put you on
our minyan call list. |
Shabbos Greeters:
 |
We are looking for people
willing to welcome members and guests to our
shul on Saturday mornings as they arrive to Shabbos
Services. You will need to be in the front
lobby of the synagogue by 9:30am where you
will hand out our QJC WEEKLY handout to each
worshipper as he/she arrives. If needed,
you can also direct people to siddurim,
chumashim and talleism. You should be able
to join services between 10:15am and 10:30am
for the Torah Service. If you are
interested in being a greeter, please
contact the shul office. |
Office Helpers/Greeters:
 |
We periodically need
assistance in preparing large mailings or
answering phones. If you would like to be
on a call list to assist us when these
special tasks arise, please contact Miriam
at the shul office. |
Archivist:
 |
We are currently looking
for volunteers to help organize our archives
and sort through our older files. If you
are interested in assisting with this
project on weekdays, please contact the shul
office. |
Programming Committee Member:
 |
We are always looking for
creative people who are willing to work on
the Queens Jewish Center Programming
committee. This committee plans and
executes all of the major programming that
goes on in the shul. |
QJC Shopper:
 |
Occasionally we need
people to make local shopping runs for
supplies for programs and Kiddush. If you
would like to assist on an as need basis,
please contact Honey Berger. |
