WELCOME, WE'RE SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE.
As a dually affiliated synagogue, both Reform and Conservative, we are prepared to meet you wherever you are on your Jewish Journey - providing you with opportunities to come together to celebrate, explore, and engage in diverse Jewish practices.
As the Samueli Center for Progressive Judaism, we believe in honoring the Judasim of the past by making it relevant today and for generations to come.
As partners on our Jewish Journey, Membership at TBESOC ensures a Jewish future
for ourselves, our children, our community, and the Jewish People.
We understand that each person's financial situation is unique, which is why we offer different levels of support. Each level provides guidelines to help you determine what your annual commitment can be. We hope this model serves as a helpful framework to guide your decision making.
As you consider your annual contribution amount, please note that finances will never be an obstacle to being part of the TBESOC family. If you are unable to offer what is suggested, please consider increasing your current contribution by 10%. Your continued support is deeply appreciated and helps us serve the Jewish community with excellence.
A voluntary security fee of $360 will be added to the cost of membership at all levels, which helps offset the extraordinary cost of infrastructure and personnel to keep our Temple family as secure as possible. We ask that the community share in the cost of this service.
Standard Membership has many benefits, including:
High Holiday Tickets for those living in their household
Pastoral Care and clergy officiants for lifecycle events
Discounted Program Pricing at all events
Educational Access to staff resources, library, and religious school *cost of tuition not included
Yahrzeit Reminders via email for yahrzeits you observe
