We are so glad that you are considering joining Congregation Beth Israel. To support our congregation, we rely primarily on annual commitments made by our members. While no one is ever turned because of a lack of financial resources, we ask you to “give as G-d has blessed you.” The annual commitment includes many congregational services, such as religious and Hebrew school (except for books and out of town retreats); B’nei Mitzvah preparation; adult education; High Holiday tickets; life cycle events, discounted cemetery plots and clergy counseling.
In addition to a membership demographic application, the following forms need to be filled out in order to complete your membership application.

Capital Campaign Form
Our Capital Campaign helps meet the costs associated with building our new educational facility and renovating the Milton and Helen Smith Auditorium, as well as Koen Foyer. As a condition of membership, new members are expected to make a Capital Campaign pledge (generally three times their annual commitment) to be paid over five years.
If you have any questions, or need assistance in filling out the forms, please don't hesitate clicking on the link to sending an email to Membership Services or calling our office at 454-6806.
