Sustaining Membership

Choosing to become a Sustaining Member at Washington Hebrew is both an act of tzedakah and a reflection of faith in our shared Jewish future.

Make Your Impact Felt

As a Sustaining Member, your generosity will ensure that young families, seniors, and other current members can maintain a lifelong connection to WHC at a support level that is affordable to them. Your generosity also will help to make joining our sacred community more attractive and accessible for new members. By making this choice, you will inspire others in our community to join the ranks of Sustaining Members and support our shared Jewish future.

Membership contributions provide approximately 40% of WHC’s budgeted annual revenues and are essential to our ability to continue to serve our congregation with the high caliber of programming, pastoral care, education, worship, and other activities that are hallmarks of WHC. Your support of the Congregational Commitment model has never been more critical, and we hope we can count on you to join us in taking this exciting step forward in the life of WHC.

You understand the value of our sacred community. Now, you can “pay it forward” to enable Washington Hebrew to welcome all who are interested in membership no matter their financial circumstances.

Sustaining Membership offers added benefits

From complimentary tuition for our flagship 12 Jewish Questions class and complimentary High Holy Day guest passes, to special events, such as our Spring Soiree and Vintage Reflections Wine tasting, we want you to know how much we appreciate your added support.
