Membership
Join Sha'are Shalom
We are a diverse and active community! From families with school age children to empty nesters, retirees to dual faith families raising Jewish children, from young singles to couples just starting out, together we have built a vibrant congregation.
Our Rabbi Michael Ragozin had this to say about his experience and membership in general, when he started at Sha'are Shalom as a student.
"Membership itself is heroic in a period of time when the majority of Jews do not even belong to a synagogue. Each individual's decision to be a part of Sha'are Shalom creates our community. Each member equally comprises our foundation.
Upon this foundation, generous voluntary contributions enhance the quality of Jewish life at Sha'are Shalom. Numerous people give so much of themselves, not merely to ensure we exist but to ensure that we thrive. This energy is contagious and inspiring."
Our religious, social and educational programming meets the needs of all our member families thanks to the input and support of each of us. We invite you, and encourage you, to join us in building a vibrant Jewish community.
Benefits and privileges include:
- Access to educational and social programs
- Use of Sha'are Shalom's facility for personal events
- Enrollment of children in our award-winning religious school
- Life-cycle events including b'nai mitzvah, brit milah, weddings, baby naming
- High Holy Day service tickets

Each member household also makes a financial commitment to our building assessment fund. This commitment is not to exceed $4000 over a period of ten years, payable at a minimum of $400 each year. This assessment can be rolled into your selected dues payment schedule schedule whether month, quarter, semi annual or annual.
(No building fund obligation for 65 and over or affliate members.)
We do not turn anyone away. If you require financial assistance, please contact our treasurer at treasurer@sha-areshalom.org. Your request and any financial arrangements will remain confidential.
