About Membership

May 25, 2018 geriepstein Membership

Bet Aviv welcomes anyone of, or with an interest in, the Jewish faith to join our congregation. We offer:

  • Shabbat and holiday services
  • High Holiday services
  • Participation in our adult education, Sisterhood and Men’s Club, and Social Action programs
  • Pastoral counseling and life cycle events
  • Social activities and more

Our dues are structured to cover our operating expenses. That is our only objective. No members are turned away for inability to afford our dues.

For additional information about membership at Bet Aviv, please contact us.

Dues Letter

Each year our Treasurer sends a letter to our members defining the dues that the congregation approved at the last annual meeting. The letter contains links to the Dues Payment Form, the Associate Membership Policy and the Dues Policy.  Click here for the letter.

Membership Handbook

Bet Aviv has written a Membership Handbook to summarize important points about Bet Aviv.  We encourage members to read it as it answers most of the questions you will have about Bet Aviv.  To read the Bet Aviv Handbook, please click here.
