Membership
Have we got a shul for you!
New to town, new to Judaism, or just new to Sherith Israel? Visit. Come for a tour of the building, an event for young families, or come to a Friday night service. Whatever your background, identity or level of knowledge, we have the right amount of spice to be your new Jewish home.
If you seek community, you’ll find it here. Sherith Israel is an intentional community. We work together to make the world a little smaller, a little more intimate, a little more hamish (warm).
If you seek spirituality, you’ll find it at Congregation Sherith Israel. The awe-inspiring space uses music to transcend the mundane and elevate the sacred.
If you seek knowledge, look no further. From weekly study sessions to world-renowned guests, Sherith Israel is a place of intellectual engagement for every age and every season.
If you are not a member of the Jewish Community, but seek a way of belonging, become a Friend of Sherith Israel (click to learn more)
