Volunteering for Rosh Pina is a lot of fun and a great way to give back to the community. We are a small minyan, and every person who volunteers makes a big difference. This includes those who hold the regular volunteer roles underlined below, as well as everyone who helps out with our services and events throughout the year.
If you are interested in joining a committee or volunteering for Rosh Pina in any way that you don’t see listed below, please email info@roshpinadc.org.
The Vaad
As Rosh Pina’s leadership committee, the Vaad works closely with all of our volunteers to ensure the minyan continues to grow and provide strong spiritual and social programming for the community. If you have any questions about Rosh Pina or if you would like to offer comments or constructive criticism, please contact the Vaad. You can contact all of the members of the Vaad by emailing info@roshpinadc.org.
Gabbai Committee
The Gabbai Committee is responsible for coordinating leining and davening for our Shabbat morning services, and ensuring that services run smoothly. If you are interested in leining or leading davening, or if you have questions or comments about our services, please email the gabbais at gabbais@roshpinadc.org. If you would like to learn how to lead davening or lein, or to brush up on what you already know, please email info@roshpinadc.org to be set up with someone who can help you learn.
Kiddush Committee
The Kiddush Committee orders our kiddush food and supplies, and deals with preparation, set up, and cleanup on Shabbat mornings. They are always happy to accept help with set up and clean up from additional volunteers! If you would like to sponsor a kiddush, or if you have any kiddush related questions or concerns, please email the committee at kiddush@roshpinadc.org.

Hospitality Committee
If you are visiting DC, are new to the community, or just don’t have Shabbat meal plans for this week, you are encouraged to contact our Hospitality Committee at hospitality@roshpinadc.org. Please also do not hesitate to let them know if you are interested in hosting guests through hospitality.
