Membership & Community

Gathering together at Congregation Beth El roots all of us in a local, focused expression of Jewish peoplehood and provides us with the resources we need to live compelling and thoughtful Jewish lives.

 

We belong here because we can’t be the Jews we aspire to be alone. We need each other. We need a community filled with peers, with those younger and older than we are, with those of similar and different temperaments and perspectives. Jewish life wisdom teaches us to join together.

 

Membership in Congregation Beth El is not be like belonging to any other organization. Our synagogue family embraces all who join with us, sharing our backgrounds, experiences, and stories as we seek personal and collective meaning. Belonging to Congregation Beth El reminds us that by giving something of ourselves to others we discover how much more purpose and perspective we receive in return.

 

Our membership model eliminates dues as a barrier to synagogue affiliation. Our communal success in this effort comes from our member's support and willingness to contribute. The goal of Our Shared Commitment is to encourage more Jewish families to connect with our religious and cultural heritage without the uncomfortable barrier of needing to ask for financial assistance. Each year member households join Congregation Beth El at varying contribution amounts with our gratitude for each donation and every new personal connection.
