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 each individual makes a difference and helps shape the experience of fellow congregants and our collective future. By joining the synagogue, you are investing in yourself, your family, and your spiritual health. Each of us have personal motivations for choosing to affiliate with a synagogue. For many of our members, being part of an intergenerational community that is connected by the bonds of a shared history and a desire to participate in the continuity of our rich traditions and Jewish peoplehood, creates a powerful calling and sense of purpose.

Members receive admission to High Holy Days services, discounts for programs year round, discounted use of our facility for private events, a voice in the synagogue, use of our playground, eligibility for our Hebrew School, and access to celebrate your life cycles in our sanctuary/building and officiated by our Rabbi. Members also receive preferred pricing for cemetery plots in our cemetery, the Temple Israel Memorial Park in Blauvelt.

When you invest in synagogue membership, you are declaring that a maintaining a vibrant Jewish community in Nyack is important, and that you are taking ownership as a partner in co-creating the Jewish community you wish to have for yourself and your family. 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.
