Live far away? Already a member of another congregation?

We are inclusive--and accommodating! We have an Out of Town membership category for people living outside Washington D.C. and surrounding communities and special arrangements can be made if you are a member of another congregation but would like to join Bet Mishpachah. Please contact the Vice President for Membership for details.

The benefits of membership will not cease in the event that a member, due to age- or health-related reasons, moves into an assisted living facility, is otherwise limited in his/her ability to fully participate in the activities of daily living, and/or is unable to renew his/her membership. The Board of Directors will ensure that the members remain an integral part of the Bet Mishpachah community and that the needs of that member, as a part of our community, are met in coordination with appropriate committees and programs.

Benefits of membership include:

Inclusion in a vibrant, dynamic, welcoming, social, and spiritual community;
Opportunities to celebrate joyous occasions, milestones and life-cycle events;
Support during times of illness or loss;
Participation in religious rituals on Shabbat and other Holy Days, including aliyot and other Torah honors, leading services, singing in the choir;
Leadership and service opportunities both within the congregation and through community-wide social action/social justice projects;
Yartzeit reminders - individually by mail, by listing in our newsletter, and by announcement from the bima during services;
Our monthly newsletter- Mishpachah Matters;
E-mail notices of special events and happenings- "@CBM";
Jewish education programs and classes;
High Holy Day and Break-the-Fast Tickets;
Discounted membership dues for students, young professionals, and seniors;
...and more!

Questions?

You are very important to us and will not be denied membership due to financial constraints. Special and confidential arrangements concerning either, or both, the amount of dues or the payment plan may be made by contacting the Vice President for Membership.
