CST's Constitution Revision
As you know, Congregation Shaarie Torah’s Board, Staff, and Clergy began the task nearly two years ago of updating our Constitution to meet the current and modern-day realities in which we are operating. The CST Board began reviewing the Constitution with several goals in mind:
- 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.
In our long open review process, which ended on December 15, we received a substantial amount of honest and constructive feedback, including complex questions regarding membership and Board structure.
Armed with your input, the CST Board has made another round of revisions and is ready to present this latest draft at a Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at 7:00pm on Zoom. Registration is REQUIRED.
We will use this time to go over the proposal before finalizing the draft and setting a time for a Congregational vote. We hope you will join us on the 6th.
Thank you to all who have provided feedback, comments, and structure to the conversation. Our hope is that in 2026 we’ll come away with a Constitution which meets our goals, upholds our values and is inclusive for all.
B’shalom,
Andrea Kreiner, VP and Constitutional Review Chair
