Temple Judea Pillars are a self-selected group of members who choose to give $1000 or more above their minimum expected annual membership contribution. Just as physical pillars provide support and ballast to a building, Temple Judea Pillars maintain the strength and longevity of our cherished community. By becoming a Pillar, you'll become part of your local Jewish community’s foundation, assisting fellow community members who genuinely need financial assistance to maintain their membership and ensuring that Jews in the San Fernando Valley have a place to gather and pray in perpetuity. Along with the knowledge that their contribution will have a profound impact, Pillars receive special benefits, including free tickets to Temple events, invitations to private gatherings, and more. Learn More.

At Temple Judea, we believe that finances should not be a hurdle to your family’s ability to belong. Synagogue affiliation should not create financial hardship, and we are committed to working with our members who are experiencing financial need. Whatever your circumstances, you belong with us. Let us know if you need help when submitting your new member form or your renewal form and someone from Member Services will be in touch to assist you. If you are applying for need-based tuition assistance, you do NOT need to complete the membership renewal form until you receive your tuition awards letter.

Renew your annual commitment online anytime by clicking here! In the form you will be able to request to be contacted by a Temple Judea Membership team member. 

Non-Jewish spouses and other family members are welcomed with open arms at Temple Judea. While non-Jewish family members are welcome to participate in almost every way that a Jew may, there are some roles and responsibilities that can only be performed by members of the Jewish faith. Examples include being a member of the Board of Trustees at the Temple and accepting certain honors during worship services. Conversion to Judaism is a very personal decision and, although we are delighted to support anyone on that journey, it is not a prerequisite to becoming a valued person in our community.

The best advice is just to jump right in! For those wishing to explore further reading we would recommend the following resources: www.urj.org The website for the Union for Reform Judaism, which represents Reform Jewish communities throughout North America. www.myjewishlearning.com A non-denominational resource for Jewish learning for all levels of inquiry. www.reformjudaism.org A source for those who are Reform, from a different stream of Judaism, “just Jewish,” interested in conversion, or merely curious to learn more about the customs and traditions that Temple Judea follows.

A wedding is one of the most exciting transitions in life and it is a celebration not only for the couple, but also for their families, friends and community. It is the beginning of what we all pray will be a lifetime of loving marriage. Mazel Tov on your momentous decision! If you are planning to get married we encourage you to make an appointment to meet with a member of our clergy as early as possible to find out how we can best help you in your exciting new journey. We are here to support all those who wish to explore building a bayit b’yisrael, a Jewish household. Each couple will be treated with great sensitivity keeping in mind their own individual circumstances and dreams for their future together.

Absolutely! We regularly invite non-Jewish parents and family members to participate in the life cycle events. After all, non-Jewish parents and relatives are often the key to their children’s participation in this life celebration and it is only fitting for them to be included and recognized for their support for Jewish life. Details of that participation are discussed sensitively and fully with each family and their clergy team.
