to Help Shape the Next Version of CST’s Constitution
Over the past several years, Congregation Shaarie Torah’s Board, Staff, and Clergy have recognized that our Constitution no longer accurately reflects the current realities in which we operate. Beginning in mid-2024, the CST Board initiated a review of the Constitution with several goals in mind—some relatively simple, such as clarifying language and correcting grammar, and others more significant. Notable updates include:
Noted updates include:
- Building more openness and transparency into processes, such as nominations and elections of Board members.
- Restructuring the membership and committee Articles to reflect both the current and future state of how our Congregation would like to operate.
We are now launching a four-month process for the Congregation* to review, provide feedback, and vote on the proposed revisions to the Constitution:
- Sunday, May 4th, 1pm – In-person Town Hall Discussion at CST
- July/August, TBD, as Needed – Virtual Town hall Discussion
- Sunday, September 7th – Congregational Vote on the Constitution Final Version, In-person at CST
*To participate in this process and vote, you must be a CST Member in good standing. If you are unsure about your membership status, or would like to become a member at this time, please contact Jemi executivedirector@shaarietorah.org or speak with a Board member for more information.
