PSJC Membership Application

If you need assistance with a paper form or to fill out over the phone, please contact office@psjc.org.

Please fill out the form below. Note that you cannot save a form in process, so you must complete all of the information and click to submit in order to enroll. Please do not close your browser until a confirmation screen appears.

If you already have a MyPSJC Account, please login via the upper right hand corner of your screen. If you do not have a MyPSJC Account, completing this form will allow you to create one. If you elect to set up your membership pledge now, you will have more options for payment if you are logged into an account, including setting up monthly payments or paying by check. If you have forgotten your password, it is easy to reset using "forgot password." 


To apply for membership please complete the form below. For a two adult household, our database requires one member to be the "primary" member. If there is only one adult who identifies as Jewish in that household, that adult should be the primary member.

PSJC welcomes members from varying backgrounds and identities. Please fill out the information as it applies to you and your household. You may always return to update your account in the future if you choose.


 


The Conservative Movement defines "Jewish" as one who is either born to a Jewish mother or who has undergone a halachic conversion to Judaism. At least one family member must be Jewish by this definition and only this adult has voting privileges at our all-congregation meetings and the ability to lead ritual services and receive aliyot at the Torah. All household members are welcomed to participate in services, programming, and committee work. If you have any questions about this, please contact Rabbi Carie Carter at rabbicarie@psjc.org.

We hope that you will participate in services, programming, and committee work as a member of our community. Please note that at least one household member must be Jewish by the Conservative Movement's definition and only this adult has voting privileges at our all-congregation meetings and is able to lead ritual services and receive aliyot at the Torah. If you have any questions about this, please contact Rabbi Carie Carter at rabbicarie@psjc.org.
Traditionally people are called to the Torah as "ben" (son) or "bat" (daughter), followed by their parent/s' Hebrew names. If you would prefer to be called using "mi beit" (from the house of) or another term, please let Rabbi Carie know.
Member names, children's names, address, email, and phone number may be included on our community list. 
Photographs from community events may be shared internally, as well as on our website and social media pages.

Membership Form Addendum
Approved by the PSCJ Board of Trustees on October 20, 2015

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. 

I/We understand the requirements and policies for membership. Should I/we need to ask for an exception to be made for me/us, allowing me/us to purchase a grave or have a bar/bat/brit mitzvah, I/we will commit to at least two years of membership; I/we intend to have PSJC in my/our future, and I/we look forward to a relationship with the congregation in the years to come.
Please initial here that you have read the above addendum to PSJC Membership.
Please initial here that you have read the above addendum to PSJC Membership.
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.
Please enter your full name above as a digital signature for your membership application.
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. 
I understand that PSJC cannot exist without support from its members and will make a membership pledge at a later date that best meets the needs of my household and the community. 

All member households are asked to contribute to our rising security costs through an annual security fee. 
Thank you for selecting to submit a membership pledge now! If you are logged into your MyPSJC account you will be able to bill your account and set up monthly payments by credit card, echeck, or check. Payment will be authorized on the next screen, so please do not close your browser until you see a confirmation message.

Thank you. Please reach out to the PSJC office with any questions.
Someone will be in touch soon with next steps.
