The income generated by congregation memberships is a critical component of our ability to sustain the programs and services that we offer to our community as well as to maintain our historic synagogue. Our Board of Directors works diligently to adhere to a modest budget so that we may provide quality Jewish experiences that are affordable to all.
We are committed to providing our programs and services to anyone and everyone who wishes to belong to our community — regardless of ability to pay. With our tiered dues scale, we rely on our members to be guided by the spirit of tzedakah in determining what level of dues contribution they are able to make.
Membership Dues Per Household:
- Level 1: $250
- Level 2: $350
- Level 3: $500
- Level 4: $750
- Level 5: $1000
- Level 6: $1,500
- Level 7: $2,500
- Angel Donation (Additional donation to help cover membership for those who are not able to pay)
