At Beth Tikvah Synagogue we no longer charge set dues rates for membership. Our pledge based system, called Terumah, is a "free-will" offering, not a required one. Your Terumah is your membership pledge, an annual voluntary financial commitment that is used for our operating budget. If you are interested in joining the Beth Tikvah family go to www.bethtikvahsynagogue.org/join-us.html for more information.
Please call 508-616-9037, or email HighHolidays@BethTikvahSynagogue.org, if you have any questions. Come join our inviting, joyful and spirited community for the High Holidays!
