JOIN US!
Our clergy, staff and lay leadership look forward to welcoming you to our special community. We are a multi-generational and inclusive community; membership in our synagogue is open to any Jewish person or family, including interfaith families. Please join us for services on Friday evenings and Shabbat mornings, and participate in our traditional services, our lay-led Havurah, or our youth and family services. During the summer, we feature several outdoor Kabbalat Shabbat Services and a more intimate opportunities to meet our clergy and community. At Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El, “Our House is Your Home.”
We have a different membership paradigm than most.
Our Community Circle Model provides multiple entry points for membership. For those interested in a full membership experience, we have two primary options, the “Traditional Commitment Option” and the “Patron Commitment Option.” High Holiday tickets are included in both options. The “Traditional Commitment” option is a membership fee based on a member’s age and marital status. A single member pays at a lower rate than a married member, and discounts apply for members who are over age 65 as well as for our members under 35. Our “Patron Commitment” option is an all-inclusive membership and philanthropic commitment to our synagogue. As a token of our appreciation for their philanthropy, Patrons are invited to special events throughout the year.
