Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of Kane Street Synagogue!
About Membership at Kane Street Synagogue
We are an open, inclusive, and egalitarian community, affiliated with the Conservative movement. Several membership dues categories are offered; each includes tickets for High Holy Day services. Family memberships include tickets for parents and their children aged 25 and under. Individual and student memberships receive one ticket per household. Tickets for High Holy Day services are distributed to members in good standing.
Each member household is eligible for one vote at the Annual Meeting and any Special Meeting of the Congregation. After two years of membership, members may be nominated to the Board of Trustees during the nominating period, typically in the Spring.
Kane Street welcomes people of all backgrounds. We also encourage non-Jewish partners and parents to become part of our community of learning, prayer, friendship, celebration, and social action. We offer family and adult educational opportunities, and our Rabbi is happy to meet with any member to offer counsel and advice. Certain ritual roles are limited to Jews. Children who are Jewish (or on their way toward becoming Jewish) are welcome in our Hebrew School. Kane Street Synagogue membership is required for all families enrolling children in the Hebrew School.
Our community's vision for Jewish life embraces the Rabbinic teaching that the world stands on three things: Torah (learning), Avodah (prayer), and Gemilut Chasadim (acts of lovingkindness and social justice). To help realize these commitments, we hope you will take a few moments and aspire to engage in some community experiences that will help you contribute and make Kane Street a place for you to grow intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally.
