The Meaning Of Membership
At Congregation Beth El, community embraces us. Our synagogue family sustains us. Participation here personalizes what it means to be part of the Jewish people. Our synagogue provides us resources for living meaningful Jewish lives.
Our Shared Commitment
We believe synagogue membership is about inclusion and participation. Our Shared Commitment allows each member to contribute a Membership Commitment that is a meaningful and appropriate donation for them.
Membership Commitment
Your Membership Commitment cultivates Jewish engagement for all synagogue members. We recognize members have different means, and that each donation is personal, we ask all members to consider making a Membership Commitment at the Sustaining Amount of $3,985. The Sustaining Amount represents the total contributions per household necessary to cover the annual operating expenses as projected for this year at Congregation Beth El.
Membership
Honor Roll
Our Honor Roll members play a critical role in helping Congregation Beth El be a spiritual home for all who desire to engage with us. Our Honor Roll members’ elevated giving enables Congregation Beth El to offer relevant and innovative programming as we work to ensure a strong Jewish future. Honor Roll members choose to make additional Membership Commitment donations of $613 or more above the Sustaining Amount of $3,985.
In gratitude, Honor Roll members receive preferred parking on campus during the High Holy Days as well as front section High Holy Day service seating in the Jacobs Family Community Hall. When available, Honor Roll members are invited to exclusive gatherings with notable guests who visit our community and other special events. Most of all, our Honor Roll members’ tzedakah generosity enables Congregation Beth El to continue to be a spiritual and personal resource for all our members.
