We are grateful to our members for making it possible for us to be the most active and visible Jewish presence in Santa Cruz County. Our members thereby make life better for all of the Jewish people in our area and help promote interfaith understanding and the tikkun olam (repairing the world) we bring.

The successful operation of Temple Beth El/Jewish Community Center is due in large part to the generous financial contributions of our members. The primary way contributions are made is through annual membership dues and a multi-year building fund pledge.

Fair Share Program

Membership to Temple Beth El includes all members of a household family unit, single individual, married or committed couples, single parents, and unmarried children up to age 30. Income from all members of this unit determines a family's dues. No one is ever denied membership based on inability to pay.

Building Fund Pledge

Our beautiful synagogue and community center will be enjoyed for years to come, but only if we preserve and protect this incredible resource. We do this by accepting pledges from our members.
