Join Our Community

Membership dues and volunteer time sustain everything Congregation Bet Ha'am does. We hope you'll consider joining our community and enjoying the benefits membership brings. While financial contributions are essential to support our congregation, all are welcome here.

Considerations for Choosing a Membership Category

Congregation costs are substantial: clergy and staff salaries, religious school, day-to-day building operations, long-term maintenance and repairs on both buildings, events and programming, and, especially important right now, security.


Our goal is to serve every community member, regardless of capacity to pay. If dues are a hardship, use the form below to adjust your commitment. The form includes an optional option to request a private conversation with congregation leadership.


As you decide which option fits your household, consider the choices below. If you're unsure where you land, one reference point some congregations use, per the Union for Reform Judaism, is to give roughly 1.5 to 2% of household income; you're welcome to use that as a gut check alongside our stated options.
