About Membership

May 25, 2018 geriepstein Membership

Bet Aviv warmly welcomes all individuals who identify with or have an interest in the Jewish faith to become part of our vibrant congregation. We offer a range of meaningful opportunities for spiritual growth, community engagement, and lifelong learning, including:

  • Inspiring Shabbat and holiday services
  • Uplifting High Holiday services
  • Engaging adult education programs, as well as active participation in our Sisterhood, Men’s Club, and Social Action programs
  • Pastoral counseling and support for life cycle events
  • A variety of social gatherings to foster connection and friendship

Our membership dues are designed solely to sustain our congregation’s operations, ensuring that we continue to offer enriching programs and services. We believe that financial constraints should never be a barrier to belonging, and no one is turned away due to an inability to afford dues.

For more information about joining Bet Aviv, please reach out to us—we would love to welcome you into our community!

Bet Aviv has two policies that relate to membership and dues:  the Associate Membership Policy and the Dues Policy.
