Committee members serve as a great resource in answering questions about the community and being a friendly face at events and services. The Welcoming Committee also organizes welcoming events for new families such as the New Member Kabbalat Shabbat, New Member Mingles, and the Picnic in the Park.
Spiritual Practices Committee
Chair: Beth Hammer

The Activities Committee is the social hub of Har Shalom.
