Members come together for events, meals, religious school, and Jewish observance. Members also have access to Rabbi Abramowitz for pastoral care and lifecycle rituals, such as weddings, baby namings, and funerals. Members sustain our community, and our community sustains its members.

Membership is offered to individuals who are Jewish and to families in which at least one adult is Jewish.

Our congregation considers an individual to be Jewish if they were born to a Jewish mother or have completed conversion to Judaism under the supervision of a Rabbi belonging to a recognized national rabbinical body.

If you have any questions about whether you would be considered Jewish by these standards, please reach out directly to Rabbi Abramowitz at rabbiabramowitz@ozs.org before completing a membership application.
