Leadership

The mission of the Adat Shalom Board of Directors is to maintain our synagogue’s financial health, warm and welcoming character, and support for the Jewish community locally and in Israel. The Board of Directors works with our Rabbi and professional staff to ensure that the synagogue offers religious, education, and social activities that further the spiritual, cultural, and physical welfare of our Congregation as well as the greater Los Angeles Jewish Community.  

Members of the Board of Directors either chair or oversee our various committees including: Membership Committee, Men’s Club 2.0, Israel Action Committee; Social Justice; Women’s League, and the Development Committee.
