It is a rewarding opportunity to be the Executive Director of a synagogue, but there is an emotional accomplishment when it is actually the shul you grew up in.

Our guest for this episode of Keeping The Shul Lights On is Matt Walzer of Beth El Synagogue in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, and he shares his journey moving back to his home community to being hired for a development position at the shul and eventually becoming its Executive Director. 

He shares his experiences of moving his shul from a dues paying membership to a charitable giving structure, something many synagogues have done and even more-so have discussed.  He has learned that there is no lack of opportunity for Tzedakah to be given to support the synagogue and ways to help grow the community.
