Former Honorary Officers
The Honorary Officers (HOs) have overall responsibility for running the Synagogue. They are volunteers who devote their time and energy to leading our community - a huge commitment for which we are grateful.
Before 1997, there were 3 HO positions - 2 wardens (who were also the Chair and Vice Chair of the Board of Management), and a Financial Representative (the local treasurer), and in 1997 this was increased to 5 HOs, with the addition of dedicated a dedicated Chair and Vice Chair.
In 2016, it was agreed at the Board of Management that two additional HOs would be co-opted to specifically represent the interests of Yavneh, and in 2017 this was further modified to move to 3 Vice Chairs (one for each of Croxdale and Yavneh and one with BES-wide responsibilities), with the number of HO wardens at Croxdale being reduced to just 1 (at both Croxdale and Yavneh the HO warden is assisted by a rota of other members on Shabbat morning).
