Ritual

The Ritual/Religious Practices Committee is designed to facilitate the implementation or inception of any religious "practice" or "creation" that comes before the Tzibor.

The Rabbi of the Synagogue is a de facto member of the Committee and, as such, rules on the Hallachic viability or propriety of a given practice or creation. The Rabbi will also state if something, even though it might be Hallachically viable, is desirable. If it, indeed, is found to be "viable" as well as "desirable", than the Committee will seek to promote the change in the Kehilla so as many members as possible will, at the very least, have some idea as to what is transpiring.

The Committee can also be a vehicle to bring "change" proposals from members of the Tzibor to an evaluation process whereby all proposals are given proper consideration. The Committee is comparatively new in the lexicon of Shul committees; it consists of three or four general members of the Tzibor, plus the Rabbi functioning in the role as previously defined.
