Advocacy For The Movement

Bringing the community’s voice to the halls of power — with credible, community-sourced data that elected officials cannot ignore.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Build Something From the Ground Up

Advisory Board members will help ensure the Conservative/Masorti Movement has a credible, coordinated, and powerful presence in public life. This is a rare opportunity to bring the wisdom of our tradition, the strength of our networks, and the urgency of this moment into the service of our community and our world.

Advisory Board members serve two-year terms (with option for renewal) and serve as strategic thought partners, ambassadors, and financial champions of the Tzedek Center. As part of the founding board, members will be especially important in establishing the governance infrastructure and culture that will carry this organization forward.

“To be a Jew is to know that because of who we are, because of our historical experience, we care for the other.”
— Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove
