Membership Support

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.
