PSJC Membership
We wish to encourage people to join our community and experience all that we have to offer. We strive to be open and inclusive as guided by our mission statement:
To sustain a Jewish community dedicated to cherishing and renewing our tradition through religious growth, prayer, good works, and a commitment to take care of one another.
The PSJC By-Laws list the following membership requirements:
1. There must be (at least) one Jewish family member in any membership unit; only adult members who are Jewish are able to vote or serve on the Board.
2. All members are required to sign the Egalitarian statement on the membership form.
Additional Membership Requirements:
Our policy is that children can only become a bar/bat/brit mitzvah at PSJC with the appropriate learning, as determined by the Rabbi. In common with the Conservative movement, we expect each child to have attended religious school (in our Hebrew School or in a program acceptable to the Rabbi) for 5 years. Ordinarily, we expect the family to have maintained membership in our congregation for a minimum of 2 years.
Members may not purchase a burial plot or grave unless they have been members in good standing of the congregation for at least two years.
If you wish to request an exception to these policies, please speak with the Rabbi.
This application, together with the annual membership dues, constitutes my/our application for membership. I/we understand that one of the stated objectives of Park Slope Jewish Center's By-Laws is the affirmation, promotion, and furtherance of full and equal participation of all genders in all aspects of Jewish ritual life, known as the Conservate/Egalitarian form of worship.
Is there anything else you would like to share? Please feel free to include anything else you would like us to know about you/your family. We look forward to getting to know you better as members of our community!
Please select your 2024 - 2025 membership pledge below. Dues and contributions from members make up less than 60% of our operating budget. To thrive, to properly maintain our building, and to plan for emergencies, we ask that you choose a pledge amount that is as high as possible for you. If you are selecting your own pledge amount, we ask that you consider 1 - 2% of your income as a measure of commitment through a fair-share model.
Supporting Level
$1,300 per adult member ($2,600 for two adults)
If every member supports our community at this level, we can cover our basic operations. We hope that everyone who can do so will choose to contribute at this level or above.
Sustaining Level
$1,800 per adult member ($3,600 for two adults)
If every member of our community were to give at this level, we could thrive and properly provide for rainy days.
Builder Level
$2700 per adult member ($5,400 for two adults)
This level sustains the community while supporting another member of more limited means.
If your financial circumstances do not allow you to join at one of these levels, please reach out to PSJC's Treasurer, Mona Schnitzler (Treasurer@psjc.org), who will work with you to find a membership pledge that works for your family. Whatever you choose to pledge, know that your support is appreciated. PSJC is its members.
