Special “Gateway” Memberships at Congregation Beth Shalom Rodfe Zedek

From a press release:

Chester, CT, January 15, 2010 — Residents of shoreline communities who have thought of joining a local synagogue have a unique opportunity to do so over the next few months for a small fee.

Congregation Beth Shalom in Chester is once again offering a “gateway” membership, which costs $36 for an individual or family, and, through July 1, offers the same benefits as any member of the congregation receives.

Though the synagogue welcomes members and non-members to Shabbat services and other events, only members and Gateway members are entitled to reduced tuition rates in our Religious School and the services of the staff and Rabbi Rachel Goldenberg.

Trudy Ripin, the membership committee chairman, says, “The people who participated in our Gateway program last year have had a great experience. It is a fantastic opportunity to reconnect to Judaism, make new friends, experience being part of a vibrant Jewish community, and enjoy all the programs and services we offer.”
