The Staffing Agency
for Synagogues

WHY WE EXIST
Synagogues Deserve Better Staffing Options
Hiring is difficult. Retention is unpredictable.
And synagogue budgets are always tight.
Shul Office Team is the first staffing agency built exclusively for synagogues. We recruit, train, and manage remote staff who understand Jewish communal life, synagogue operations, and the rhythm of the Jewish calendar.
By switching to our $15/hour model, most congregations save $20,000–$30,000 annually — while gaining more reliable, consistent staffing.
How It Works
A Simple, Affordable Way to Staff Your Shul
01
We learn your synagogue’s needs
Administration, bookkeeping, membership, communications, donor support, event logistics — whatever your office requires.
02
We match you with trained synagogue-savvy staff
Our professionals already understand ShulCloud, QuickBooks, fund accounting, membership billing, yahrzeits, donor relations, High Holiday workflows, davening times, and the rhythm of the Jewish calendar.
03
We handle all HR and supervision
We manage it all:

Leadership
Michael Goldstein — Founder & CEO
Michael Goldstein developed the Shul Office Team staffing model inside his own synagogue, where it dramatically cut costs and improved productivity. After seeing how transformative it was — and wanting to help other synagogues facing the same staffing challenges — he expanded the model to help shuls across North America.
Michael has nearly twenty years of experience in Jewish communal leadership, including serving as a synagogue Executive Director and supporting multiple nonprofits with operations, finance, and administration. He holds an MBA, an MSW, and Rabbinic Ordination.
His commitment is simple:
help synagogues save money, reduce stress, and operate more efficiently — so Jewish life can thrive.
