Membership

Congratulations on pursuing synagogue membership!

The decision to join a synagogue is monumental. We hope you have already experienced the warmth and positive energy that makes our community so special. We are a vibrant mix of Hudson Valley individuals, couples, families, empty nesters, young adults, and seniors.

Let CSI Nyack be your spiritual home, a place where you can celebrate holidays and Simchas and a gathering point of support during times of loss and suffering. We offer a broad spectrum of social events, community social justice work, and learning opportunities.

Membership Benefits

Our members are part of an authentic community where you make a difference and synagogue life becomes vitally important because of your involvement. By joining the synagogue, you are investing in yourself, your family, and your spiritual health. Members receive admission to High Holy Days services, discounts at programs, discounted use of our facility, a voice in the synagogue, use of our playground, eligibility for our Hebrew School, and life cycles with our rabbi.

When you invest in synagogue membership, you are declaring that a vibrant Jewish life is important and you are taking ownership within synagogue life. Family members who are not Jewish are welcome to be members, are encouraged to participate in synagogue life, including attending synagogue events, serving on committees, and attending services and our kiddush luncheons.
