Membership
Membership
Become part of a truly communal undertaking.
Please consider joining our community. Members’ dues support Jewish life in Lawrence, including our congregation's religious services, education, events, outreach, and so much more.
To learn more about LJCC membership, contact LJCC Director, Lara Giordano by email or by phone (785.553.9861).
We suggest that families contribute 1.5% of gross income for membership dues. We suggest 1% for single-parent families and new members. Associate membership for those who live outside of Lawrence or pay dues to another congregation is $216 per year. We suggest a membership rate for those who are students of $180 per year.
These financial suggestions should never create a burden and inability to contribute will not prohibit anyone from affiliating with the LJCC. If you have questions or financial concerns, please don't hesitate to raise these with the director, treasurer, or president. We are available and happy to chat.
