Membership
When you join Beth Tikvah Synagogue you get more than a Jewish community, you become part of our mishpacha (family). Together, we celebrate joyous occasions like B’nai Mitzvah and Jewish holidays. As a congregation we are here to support one another through good times and bad. As a member you and your family will become part of a truly warm and inclusive synagogue, a place where everyone is welcome and really do know your name. Your membership will include the services of Rabbi Mike Swartz (aka Rabbi Mike), High Holiday seats, opportunities to volunteer, spiritual services, stimulating educational classes and programs, and much more. We also offer a dedicated Hebrew School from Pre-K through eighth grade.
At Beth Tikvah you get more than just a synagogue, you become part of our mishpacha (family). Together we celebrate joyous occasions like Bnai Mitzvah, and we are there for each other in the hard times. At Beth Tikvah, we have the opportunity to be part of something bigger than ourselves. Membership also includes the services of Rabbi Mike, High Holiday Seats, a voice in the operations of Beth Tikvah, opportunities to volunteer, spiritual services, stimulating classes and programs, and more.
However, membership comes with responsibilities. Just like any other family, we have "chores". All of our members are expected to host one Kiddush or oneg during the course of the year. You can sign up for a slot through the sign-up genius.
In order to provide a more welcoming Synagogue environment on Sunday mornings and Thursday afternoons, when school is in session, we seek volunteers to be greeters in our lobby. All members of the Beth Tikvah mishpacha (family) are requested to volunteer to sit in the lobby and be a greeter for at least one Sunday (9 AM to Noon) or Thursday (4 to 6 PM) .
Finally, we ask that all of our members volunteer to help with at least one event during the year. Sign-ups for those events will be provided during the course of the year.
