Membership
A congregation as diverse as our community
From young families to seniors, singles to interfaith couples, Temple Menorah is home to a warm and welcoming congregation in the South Bay. Membership is how you make this community your own, a place to belong, to celebrate, and to be cared for through every season of life. Wherever you are on your Jewish journey, there is a place for you here.
Rooted in Community
Why become a member
You are always welcome to join us for services and to get to know our community. Membership is the next step, the way you put down roots and become part of the family. When you join Temple Menorah, you gain:
- A spiritual home. A warm community to celebrate Shabbat, the High Holy Days, and every Jewish holiday, in person and online, for years to come.
- A place for your family to grow. Access to our religious school and Jewish learning for every age, from our Tuvia preschool to teen programs and adult education. (Religious school enrollment is for member families.)
- Clergy who know you. Rabbis and clergy to walk with you through life's moments, from baby namings and b'nai mitzvah to weddings, comfort in times of loss, and everything in between.
- Real connection. Chavurot, social action, friendships, and a hundred small ways to feel known and find your people.
- A community that lasts. The chance to sustain 80 years of Jewish life in the South Bay and help carry it forward for the next generation.
Everyone is Welcome
Cost should never be a barrier
We never want finances to stand between you and your community. Temple Menorah offers financial assistance, and we welcome a confidential, judgment-free conversation about what works for your family. Everyone is welcome here, regardless of their ability to give.
“A community is more than each individual event. It is the feeling, the welcoming, and the people.”
