Membership at Congregation Mishkan Or

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions regarding Mishkan Or’s membership chart. If you have any questions, please email Allison Shippy, Director of Membership, at ashippy@mishkanor.org.

MEMBERSHIP CATEGORIES

Membership categories reflect a thoughtful approach to age and life stage, ensuring we remain an open and welcoming congregation for all. Although such categories are not new, many members have not seen them in print for several years. Click here to see the chart  which can also be found in our May/June  newsletter here.

BUILDING FUND 

Building fund obligations are and will continue to be honored from our legacy congregations—Tifereth Israel and Fairmount Temple. No additional contributions are required from those who previously fulfilled this commitment.

MEMBERSHIP SUPPORT MODIFICATION

At Mishkan Or, no one is ever turned away due to financial circumstances. We understand that life can bring unexpected challenges, and we are committed to making membership accessible to all. If you are experiencing financial hardship and need a membership support adjustment, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Every request is handled with compassion, discretion, and respect. Our goal is to ensure that your connection to this sacred community remains strong and uninterrupted. To request a modification or to have a confidential conversation, please contact Allison Shippy, Director of Membership, at ashippy@mishkanor.org.

If you have any additional questions, please contact Allison directly at (216) 455-1703 or ashippy@mishkanor.org.
