Membership

IMG_7190.JPEG

Your membership benefits all of us. While we will maintain our policy that everyone is welcome to our synagogue regardless of payment, membership in a synagogue represents a commitment to the community. It means you keep Jewish life alive and see it continue to the next generation. It also gives you a framework of giving and contributing to the Shul, and it means that you are a partner in supporting the financial needs of the Synagogue, which we are all part of. Membership dues are the main funding source for Temple Beth El’s programs and activities.

Why become a member?

Membership entitles you to:

  • High Holy Day tickets with preferred seating

  • Voting privileges at congregational meetings

  • The monthly newsletter and other mailings

  • Participation in educational programs and other activities at a discounted rate

  • Services of Rabbi at life cycle events

  • Religious school scholarships for families in need

  • Inclusion in the membership directory

  • Ability to join or head a committee

 

Your payments help fund the actual synagogue operations for the current year, including Rabbinic salary, administrative, office, and maintenance supplies, upkeep of the facilities, the religious school operation, religious ritual items, and mailings, among other things. We need your support!
