Membership
Join Us!
CRO takes pride in being a warm, welcoming congregation. We welcome you to be a part of it.
Our shul relies on membership dues in order to cover the costs of operation and maintain our synagogue and its programs.
By becoming a member you are a partner in our shul and our community. Members enjoy discounted events throughout the year, including high holiday tickets and special CRO dinners and lunches. Members have access to a membership directory, which allows easy access to those you have been meaning to get in touch with during the week. Members also have a vote at our Annual and Town Hall Meetings. We believe, however, that the intangible benefit, knowing that you are supporting a shul as unique as Ramath Orah, far outweighs the tangible benefits.
