Join Us

Membership involves sharing many aspects of your world as part of our community. We want to see you regularly, we want to celebrate and mourn with you. We want to share food together and get to know your family. We ask for some of your time each year to help us with the tasks involved in building our healthy community.

Ongoing opportunities to be part of creating events are often mentioned in our newsletter. If you are aching to help out and have not a good idea of which project appeals most, please contact us.

We value your contribution and want to remind you that we are a not-for-profit, so you may treat your membership as a charitable donation. Your contribution may be made in full or as payments, and we ask you to make a commitment at Sukkot to enable planning. Membership fees are adjustable as needed. We always welcome and recognise gifts that exceed the minimum.

Memorial or celebratory donations are a wonderful way to support the community.
