Beth Am Membership (5785)

Each of our Jewish journeys is unique - never have there been so many inroads to Jewish life. Congregation Beth Am is committed to growing with the evolving Jewish identities in our changing world.

Each year, our lay leaders, clergy, and staff have look at the ways in which Congregation Beth Am sparks and strengthens lifelong connections for our current members. We also focused on welcoming all prospective members - individuals, couples, and families of every age and economic background - who wish to be part of our community. The result is a simpler, more welcoming membership offering focused on community.

All of our members enjoy the following benefits and opportunities:

Pastoral care & life cycle moments
Traditional & innovative prayer experiences
Complimentary tickets to High Holy Day services
Free or discounted admission to classes & events
Options for discounted tuition to ECC, JLC, & Sabra
Gatherings to connect you to the community & build friendships
Free membership dues to our Women's Circle and Men's Club (pay the member price for events and attend member-only events.)

New members will also get for the 1st year:

New member welcome bag.
New member event to introduce you to other families in our community
And more...
