Membership Fees

Individual, Family, and Associate Memberships are available only to applicants who are halachically Jewish, whether by birth or by conversion. Please note that evidence of a valid conversion will be required as part of the application process.

Individual and Family Memberships are intended for those wishing to make Kehillat Or Tzion their primary synagogue.

Associate Membership is designed for those whose primary synagogue membership is elsewhere, or who choose not to become full members at this time.

All members are invited to participate in synagogue services, events, and programmes, and to support the mission of Kehillat Or Tzion, with Associate Members maintaining a meaningful connection alongside their primary affiliation or current circumstances.

Country Membership, whether individual, or associate, is available only to those who live more than 75 miles from the synagogue and do not attend more than eight times per annum.

Individual and family memberships are only available to applicants who are halachically Jewish, either by birth or through conversion. Evidence of a valid conversion will be required upon application.

Student Membership is available to Jewish individuals in full-time education.

We offer two levels of Student Membership: one for those under the age of 25, and one for mature students aged 25 and over, recognising the differing circumstances and financial commitments of students at different stages of life.

Student Members are welcomed as full participants in the life of the synagogue, with the opportunity to attend services, take part in events and programmes, and contribute to the growth and vibrancy of Kehillat Or Tzion.

The Friends of Kehillat Or Tzion scheme is available only to non-Jewish partners of current members, or to individuals who are currently enrolled on the Masorti conversion course.

Becoming a Friend of Kehillat Or Tzion does not constitute membership of the synagogue, nor does it confer any rights of membership. It offers an opportunity for those within the above categories to contribute to and support our growing community.

Friends play an important role in supporting our services, programmes, and wider activities, helping to ensure the continued development and success of Kehillat Or Tzion.

Please note that all membership categories (with the exception of Friends of Kehillat Or Tzion) are governed by our Membership Policy. This can be accessed by clicking the following link.

We strongly encourage all prospective applicants to read the Membership Policy in full before submitting an application.
