Sarah Zukerman- Vice President

Peter Vickers - Treasurer

Robert Samuel

I joined the Board after more than a decade advising for-impact and faith based organisations on responding to changes in markets, community expectations,  regulation and technology.   I have participated in the life and work of North Shore Synagogue since childhood.  I am enjoying working with the people of the North Shore, our Community, Board and leaders of the Congregation as we reimagine a home for a welcoming and meaningful Jewish life in and around the North Shore of Sydney.  

Peter Gorfinkel

I retired a few years ago after a career in engineering and IT. I have been assisting the Synagogue office staff with their information systems for a number of years and am active with the Connections program. I am a volunteer with Jewish Care and also enjoy assisting the elderly in the wider community with their use of computers through the Computer Pals for Seniors organisation. My wife Melanie and I are fortunate to have 3 young grandchildren with whom we love to spend whatever time they can spare us.

This is my second stint on the Board.
