Board of Management

Ken Wolfsohn - President

Sarah Zukerman- Vice President

The North Shore Synagogue has been a big part of my life since I was a baby. My parents were founding members and I have had my seat in Shul since I was 6 months old.
I have served on the board previously for 17 years where I became the first female president of an Orthodox Shul on the north shore and the second in Australia. After leaving the board I took up the position of Administrator and Community Manager of the Shul which was very beneficial as I was able to see both side of the coin.
I Have rejoined the board at this time as I feel my knowledge and experience will be very helpful in these unusual and difficult times.

Mironne Golan - Vice President

Peter Vickers - Treasurer

Peter Gorfinkel

We joined the shul in 1980 when we moved to Roseville. Leonie and I have 3 daughters and 8 grandchildren and when the whole family attends shul the noise level goes up.

I joined the board as Treasurer about 12 years ago and also served 2 years as president. My accounting practice is at the end of the shul exit drive and my shul attendance is broken when I go skiing both in Australia and oversea. My sculptures of Rabbi Aviv and the giant matzah have appeared occasionally at shul on Pesach.

Robert Samuel

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.

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.
