Membership

With the last major holiday of the Jewish calendar, Passover, behind us, Secular Jewish Circle of Puget Sound is busy planning another year of in-person and virtual activities. In addition to our standard holiday programming and Shalom Sunday School programming, in the coming year, we're looking to expand by restarting monthly community Shabbats, restarting monthly adult discussion groups for Shalom Sunday School parents, and increasing collaborations with other local Jewish organizations.

These events serve to bring the Puget Sound's secular Jewish community together. We are a community-driven and volunteer-run organization, so please let us know what programming you'd like to see, or become involved in, in the upcoming year, even if you don't plan on becoming a member.

For an idea of what to expect from SJC membership for 5784, here was our structure for the 2022-23 (5783) Jewish calendar year:

Membership

• Recommended Annual Dues*:
  • $250 for single-adult households
  • +$100 per additional adult in the same household

* Notes about SJC pricing:

• Please note that, because SJC is a 501(c)(3) organization, your payments and/or donations may be tax deductible.
• We understand that not everyone can afford to contribute the full amount, and we will not deny membership due to inability to pay.
• If you are in a position to make a greater donation than suggested, your additional contribution will help us financially assist others that may not be able to afford the recommended amount at this time.
