Partnership with Jewish Gateways
Jewish Gateways has grown into a vibrant community and we are moving in an exciting new direction, one in which you are invited to become a partner.
We invite you to find your Jewish home with us.
A Partner actively participates in shaping how Jewish Gateways grows and evolves as we co-create the experience of Judaism in our lives. While everyone is welcome to attend our events, as a Partner, you will be an active builder of Jewish Gateways. Being a Partner at Jewish Gateways involves commitment in two general ways: participation in our community and financial support of our community, defined in ways that are meaningful to each individual and/or household. If you do decide to become a Partner, kindly complete this form for our records.
The Benefits of Partnership
- Shared ownership of an active and inclusive Jewish community in which diversity is celebrated.
- Partners will have the satisfaction of helping to build a uniquely meaningful Jewish community that plays an important role in their lives.
- Partners are invited to special events and activities.
- Partners will be invited to an annual gathering to share highlights of the past year, discuss plans for the next year, and provide creative input into future planning.
- Partners and members of their immediate household are welcome to attend High Holiday Services without an additional donation.
- Partners have priority in working with our rabbis for life cycle events.
Financial Commitment Goal
- The current estimate for sustaining Jewish Gateways is $3,000 annually (or $250 monthly) per household. We suggest an annual commitment with flexibility based on income and circumstances.
- Alternatively, we ask partners to work towards a 2-3% commitment of annual income. We understand that for some, neither of those goals will be realistic. Thus, we ask that you "Give What You Can," informed by the numbers above.
- Payment schedules can be monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Partners Participate Regularly
Partners have a variety of ways to be engaged:
- Attendance at classes and events
- Volunteering
- Participation in leadership – including the Board of Directors, the Community Involvement Team, and other committees.
- Leading a class or event
- Sharing your personal talents & strengths
Join us as we journey forward together at Jewish Gateways.
