Many shuls have a Women’s Officer on their Councils with a specific brief to look after women’s interests, a role recently initiated by the United Synagogue.
At St Albans United Synagogue, we feel we have no need of one. Both our current chairman and vice-chairman are women; our immediate past chairman and her predecessor were both women (three in a row!), and women have equal representation on our Council alongside their male colleagues, so we reckon women’s interests are well taken care of.
