Membership

At Temple Hesed, we are committed to fostering a warm, inclusive environment where everyone can deepen their understanding of Judaism and strengthen their connection to Jewish life. We proudly welcome members from all backgrounds and identities, including LGBTQ+ individuals and interfaith families.

Our dedicated staff and Membership Committee are available year-round to greet you, answer any questions, give tours of our beautiful building and grounds, introduce you to fellow congregants, and join you for services. Each year, we host an open house before the High Holy Days, offering prospective members the opportunity to experience services and meet community members.

Additional Information:
  • High Holy Day service tickets are included at no extra cost.
  • Family and friends who are members in good standing at other synagogues are welcome to join you for services.
  • An additional fee applies for children’s religious education.

Membership commitments are essential for sustaining our clergy, programs, and facilities. We recognize that each family’s financial situation is unique, and our finance committee chair is available to meet with you confidentially to discuss your contribution pledge. If payment poses a hardship, we can work together to ensure that membership remains accessible to all who wish to join. Regardless of contribution level, every member is valued and treated equally.

We look forward to welcoming you into our community.
