Membership

We invite everyone to join our diverse and inclusive Jewish community.  While we welcome visitors, members make up the core of TBB and we hope you will join our diverse congregation, composed of individuals of varied backgrounds, perspectives, and abilities.  We are open to all, regardless of their level of Jewish knowledge or practice.
 
Members play a critical role in supporting Temple B’nai Brith’s physical and human infrastructure.  Dues support salaries and benefits for the rabbi, school director, administrator, and custodian; help maintain our historic building; and enable an array of spiritual, educational, and programmatic activities . Members’ financial support is necessary to sustain the congregation and ensure its continued vibrancy.
