Types of Membership
Membership at Shearith Israel is open to all Jewish people and their spouse/partner and children. People of other faiths may be included in a Family Membership if their spouse/partner is Jewish. Membership spans the one-year period July 1 – June 30. Benefactor – We offer four levels of Benefactor dues; Mensch, Supporter, Partner and Patron. Our voluntary Benefactor structure helps us provide assistance to those who cannot contribute at the full dues level. It is our hope that those congregants that are financially able will choose one of our Benefactor dues levels. Individual – Single member with or without children. Family – Married couple or two individuals living together in a partnered relationship, with or without children. Kehillah – Join the JCC and Congregation Shearith Israel for one affordable price. If you are a young adult between the ages of 21-29, you can take full advantage of the Kehillah program, a partnership between the Aaron Family Jewish Community Center of Dallas and Congregation Shearith Israel. The Kehillah program is a unique way to become involved in the greater Jewish community. Participants receive full membership privileges to the JCC, including the fitness center, as well as at Shearith. For more information, please contact the JCC Membership Department at 214-739-2737.
