House
It is our aim to maintain the building and grounds in a style befitting this shul. We appreciate any input from our members and guest on items needing attention. In the coming year we hope to complete improvements to our infrastructure such as a new roof over the lobby and women’s’ section, as well as building a sound buffering vestibule outside the bet midrash.

The Young Israel of Hollywood Raffle Committee is planning a new expanded Raffle for the 5767 year. Prizes will be multiple trips to Israel for multiple people. Drawing is planned to coencide with a Yom Haatzmaut celebration. More details will be coming in January. For more information, please contact Stephen Kurtz.
Ritual Committee
The ritual committee is generally made up of the Rabbi, Assistant Rabbi, President and Gabbaim from all minyanim (prayer services). The committee chairman is the Gabbai Rishon of the Shabbos 9:00 a.m. minyan in the main sanctuary. The committee meets before the Yomim Noraim (High Holidays) and additional meetings are scheduled when deemed neccessary. There is constant dialogue between the committee members on a continuous basis.
This committee is charged with seeing to it that all minyanim run smoothly according to halachah and the shul's traditions. This includes, however is not limited to, giving out all honors, aliyahs, Torah laining and appointing the designated chazanim.
If any YIH member has a request or requirement, such needing an aliyah for a yartzeit, please let the gabbai of the intended minyan know as early as is practical under the circumstances. Any YIH member who would like to join this committee should speak with any current committee member.

Young Couples and Families
This committee serves two functions First, it serves as a clearinghouse for young members to find out about the services and programs offered by the synagogue, as well as ways in which they can volunteer and take leadership roles Second, the committee plans and promotes social events for couples and/or families with the goal of people meeting each other, thereby increasing the sense of friendship and community for which Young Israel of Hollywood is famous
