South Hills Jewish Pittsburgh’s Community Council is a governing board comprised of community leaders representing all four South Hills synagogues: Ahavath Achim (The Carnegie Shul), Beth El, Chabad of the South Hills, and Temple Emanuel, as well as the South Hills JCC and at-large members of the South Hills Jewish Community.

The Council meets four times a year with committee meetings held on a regular basis. We are always on the lookout for volunteers, program ideas, and other suggestions. Contact our South Hills office at (412) 697-6697 or email.
