Hebrew Tabernacle Annual Meeting & Elections
Join us Sunday, May 3, 2026, from 3pm to 4:30pm.
Hebrew Tabernacle Social Hall (Ft. Wash. Entrance)
All members are invited to exercise their right to vote and help guide Hebrew Tabernacle into the future! During the meeting, we will review and discuss our synagogue’s progress over the last year and our plans for the coming year. We will elect five Board Members to three-year terms and one Board Member to a one-year term, as well as three Officers to fill out the 2nd year of three two-year terms.
Our Bylaws require that the current Board propose a slate of candidates. Members may also nominate other candidates during the weeks leading up to the election. The 2026 deadline for nominations was April 21st.
The Proposed Slate for 2026/27:
BOARD MEMBERS
Three-year terms: Andy DaSilva, Rita Hamburgh, Desma Holcomb, Michael Klein, Todd Rubinstein
One-year term: Rose Ellen Neidish
OFFICERS
One-year terms:
Vice Presidents (2): Alex Gordon, Rose Ellen Neidish
Secretary: Desma Holcomb
We will also vote on a next year’s budget, a new contract for the Rabbi and a Board proposal to raise our membership dues. Please see our Election Details and Documents Page for the Board’s rationale for this first dues increase in over a decade, as well as the Final Slate of Candidates and their Bios, printable proxies/ballots, the Agenda, and annual Committee Reports, which outline some of the many achievements this year.
