Shuls are amazing places with a wonderful mix of people, spirituality, community, learning and of course….. politics.
But politics need not be a bad thing.
Here’s Wikipedia’s definition:
Politics (from Greek πολιτικός, “of, for, or relating to citizens”), is a process by which groups of people make collective decisions.
We’re going to try to discuss what makes Shuls tick and how we can make them a better place.
