Membership Committee

The mission of the Membership Committee within Temple Jeremiah is to retain and engage the current membership and attract new members.

To accomplish this goal, the lay leadership, in partnership with the senior staff, provides activities, programs, events and communications for our entire temple membership and assists in integrating them into the temple community. In addition, we promote our temple, its excellent staff and the Center for Learning programming to the general public and host events geared toward membership recruitment.

The Membership Committee is made up of the following chairs:
Amy Torf - Membership Contact
Anita Straus - Empty Nester Chair
Randi Gurian and Betsy Rooth - Jeremiah Boomers Group Co-Chairs

Temple Jeremiah was one of eight Honorable Mention recipients named by the Belin Awards Committee of the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) for outstanding Outreach and Membership programs. This marks the fifth time the temple has received this honor. The Belin Award recognizes superior programs "from around North America that demonstrate a high level of creativity, originality and replicability." Congratulations to our Membership Committee on receiving this coveted award.
