Temple Beth Torah is your temple. If you get more involved, there will be a double reward: our congregation will be more successful, and your membership will be more meaningful. Temple Beth Torah depends on the membership to fill positions on committees that run the congregation. Each member is strongly encouraged to participate in areas that interest them. We truly want and need the participation of all members. Please consider supporting at least one of the following areas so that we can continue to provide the services and programs that we all expect.
Please indicate all the areas in which you are you are interested. Don’t hesitate to list other interests in the space at the end of the membership application. Volunteer service is a core Jewish value. Get involved in your temple! You’ll be glad you did!
Please provide either the Hebrew or English date of death so that your loved ones can be remembered at the appropriate Shabbat service and during the High Holidays Yizkor service.
