Tikkun Leil Shabbat Organizers

Tikkun Leil Shabbat is a lay-led havurah entirely organized by volunteers.

Participants in the TLS community bring potluck dishes to share, lead services, suggest and give divrei tikkun, wash dishes, and find all sorts of lovely and creative ways to enrich our community.

The Tachlist is a crew of particularly reliable TLS volunteers who are periodically called upon to help set up, clean up, and otherwise keep Tikkun Leil Shabbat running smoothly. (Tachlis = "nitty gritty" in Yiddish.) To join the list, email tikkunleilshabbat at yahoo dot com.)

The Tomchei Tikkun are the coordinating team of Tikkun Leil Shabbat. (Tomchim ="supporters" in Hebrew.) The Tomchei Tikkun take an ongoing and active role in both the logistics of each TLS gathering and the opportunities for decision-making and community maintenance that arise between TLS gatherings. Tomchei Tikkun serve on davenning, meal coordination, divrei tikkun, communications and other committees along with other TLS volunteers. Every six months or so, the team's members choose to rotate off or remain on the Tomchei Tikkun, and any openings are filled through an application process. Currently, the Tomchei Tikkun are Ari Appel, Val Baron, Laura Bellows, Amy Egan, Stefan Gottschalk, Rachel Hutt, Hilary Krieger, Darya Mattes, Ethan Merlin, Daniel Michaelson-Horowitz, Lisa Morenoff, Joelle Novey, Tobias Reiter, Becca Rosen, Adina Rosenbaum, and Leah Staub.
