Kane Street Synagogue is an open, inclusive, and egalitarian community, affiliated with the Conservative movement. Several membership categories are offered; each includes tickets for High Holiday services. Family memberships include tickets for parents and their children aged 25 and under who are living at home. Individual and student memberships receive one ticket. Tickets for High Holidays services are distributed to members in good standing.
Kane Street welcomes people of all backgrounds. We also encourage non-Jewish partners and parents to become part of our learning, prayer, 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. Congregational voting rights and certain ritual roles are limited to Jews. Children who are Jewish by birth or conversion may enroll 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 loving kindness 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.
Membership dues cover only a fraction of our annual operating costs. The Building Assessment Fee is $180.00 per year for the first five years of membership, and is automatically charged to your account at the beginning of August in each year. As part of the initial dues structure, it is used to defray expenses for ongoing building repairs of our historic building.
Please note that membership renewal is automatic, and occurs on August 1 of each year. If you wish to discontinue membership, you must do so in writing to membership@kanestreet.org.
