For Families with Children
Temple Kehillat Chaim is a wonderful place to raise Jewish kids. We offer a religious school and Hebrew school for children Pre-K through 10th grade that our students genuinely love, a caring path to Bar/Bat Mitzvah, and vibrant youth groups for elementary, middle, and high schoolers.
We are also home to the Seeds of Wonder Journey School, a Jewish preschool and early childhood center. It's one of the easiest ways to give your child a Jewish community and education while getting to know TKC yourself.
Families with children enrolled in preschool at Seeds of Wonder Journey School located at Temple Kehillat Chaim receive free temple membership.
Membership Dues
We believe in being upfront about cost. Here's a general idea of what membership involves:
-
Preschool families: membership is free while your child is enrolled at Seeds of Wonder Journey School.
-
Standard Dues for families is $3,216, with varying fees (full info in dues sheet below)
-
Reduced rates for young adults, seniors, and singles.
-
No one is turned away for financial reasons — if dues are a concern, please reach out to us confidentially and we'll work with you. Approximately one fifth of our congregation receives dues assistance, while even more contribute above standard dues. People give what they can, and whatever that amount that is, we are grateful and we want you to be a part want you to be a part of our community.
For the complete, detailed breakdown, see our full Dues Information Sheet (PDF).
