Membership and Ticket Information

Become a Greeter

First impressions are so important. Everyone can find their home under the dome. Our Greeters ensure that each person feels very welcome in our communal spaces. Belonging to a synagogue is about creating a community and building lifelong relationships. We embrace the Jewish value of kavod — dignity — which guides us to create a culture of respect from the moment anyone enters our spaces. We celebrate the diversity of all the individuals and families who call TOS home.

Volunteer Opportunities

There are many different opportunities to volunteer on the High Holy Days including ushering, greeting, and ticket table helpers for the upcoming High Holy Days. We need your help to make the holidays a success! Share your warmth and spirit by ushering, greeting, helping to staff a welcome table, or serving as our on-call doctor or nurse in case of emergency. Our communal efforts make the High Holy Day experience more beautiful and inclusive for all of our congregants.

Annual High Holy Day Food Drive

As a community, we address the injustice of food insecurity every year by bringing bags full of groceries with us to synagogue on Yom Kippur. This act of tzedakah, of giving to those in need, is one of the ways that we work to become inscribed in the Book of Life. Drop off bags of non-perishable items on Yom Kippur. If you have any questions about our Annual Food Drive, please email Spencer Gould on behalf of the TOS Social Action Committee: gouldspence@aol.com
