Executive Committee
We welcome fresh ideas and perspectives from new leaders. If you would like to work with others, know how to listen, and want to make a difference in the CSS community, please contact the President, Fran Gabriel, or the Executive Director, Jacques Lurie.
The synagogue is run by a volunteer Board of Directors, which in turn is led by its Executive Officers. The lay leadership works in partnership with our clergy and professional staff.
