Temple Aliyah has over 400 member families, from Needham, Wellesley, Dover, Medfield, Westwood, Newton, Dedham, and other communities in the greater Boston area, and even a few in New York, New Jersey, and Florida! Our families are of all sorts: “traditional” couples with children, single parents with children, couples and singles without children, and “empty nesters.” All are invited to participate in all of our services, programs, activities, and events.

We have five different membership categories:

  • Regular
  • Junior (age 35 and under)
  • Single member
  • Senior (65 and older)

Dues are based on membership category. Please call the Temple Office (781-444-8522) for a copy of the current dues and fees schedule. We are committed to the principle that financial circumstances should not be an obstacle to membership. If ability to pay is a concern, we would be happy to have our financial secretary meet with you to make appropriate special arrangements.

We have special programs throughout the year for new members, to help integrate families into the life of our congregation, to introduce them to our professional and lay leadership, and to teach them about opportunities for participating in and contributing to all of our programs. For further details, check the calendar or contact:

Prospective Member Services: Ellen Pulda
New Member Services: Jodi Traub

While all of our religious services and most of our programs are open to non-members, membership in the congregation is required for children to be enrolled in our Religious school. Some programs may have additional costs or fees for non-members.

Seats at services for the High Holidays are included with the cost of membership. Non-members may also purchase High Holiday tickets, through the Temple Office. Any payment for High Holiday tickets will be credited towards the membership dues if you decide to join during the subsequent year.

Please remember also that it is considered a mitzvah to support the Jewish community with your membership in a synagogue. Recent studies have indicated that the future of the Jewish people in America rests largely with the strength and vitality of its synagogues. Please do your part by making the commitment to join our Temple Aliyah community!

If you have any questions about issues regarding membership, please contact Judy Pike, our Membership Vice President.
