Temple-Chat participants share information and ideas about synagogue life. Topics include security, membership, study groups, administrative issues, fund raising, High Holy Days traditions, specials services, staffing and more. Presconf is a confidential forum for discussing congregational issues, exclusively for synagogue presidents, immediate past presidents and presidents-elect (within six months of election.)
