Why are there different levels/types of membership opportunities?

Membership with Heart

The actual cost to Chabad for providing meaningful programs, services, and community support is significantly higher than the membership amounts we request. In our effort to be inclusive and welcoming to families of all income levels, we’ve created a range of membership options to make participation accessible to all.

If you are in a position to contribute at a higher level—especially by joining the Chai Society—your generosity allows us to continue offering outstanding educational, religious, and social programming for the entire community. It also helps us grow and invest in our long-term vision.

All membership contributions can be made in one installment or through 12 monthly payments. Please choose the level that works best for your family. No one will ever be turned away due to lack of funds.

What if my family is not in a financial position to afford membership?

Chabad will always be committed to offering Jewish experiences and an education to anyone in our community who wants it regardless of their ability to pay for it.  No one is turned away for lack of funds.  If you cannot afford the full amount requested, please contact the Rabbi at [email protected] for a confidential arrangement.

Can my family participate in Chabad events if we are not members?

Becoming a member at Chabad is the best way to give you and your family the optimal Jewish life experience.  However, Chabad will continue to be a welcoming place for all who would like to join our programs and events.  While we encourage every family to become members of our vibrant Jewish community, all programs and events will be open to non-members as well.

What are the dates of membership year?

 Chabad of Kendall & Pinecrest membership year is September to August.

Are High Holiday services open to non-members?

While High Holidays seats are complimentary with membership, seats are also available for purchase for non-members.

I just made a recent generous donation to Chabad at or above the amount of membership.  Does that gift count towards my membership?

We are so appreciative of your recent generosity to Chabad and understand your dilemma.  Please email our office ([email protected]) to request that the gift be applied to Membership.
