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.

Meet two courageous men who fought to survive the horrors of the Holocaust and build new lives of hope in Kansas. Teenagers Lou Frydman, a Holocaust survivor, and Jarek Piekalkiewicz, a Polish resistance fighter, both defied daunting odds and lost everyone and everything dear to them. Despite their personal tragedies, each summoned bravery to build a new life in Kansas. How does one make a life in a new land? Their stories, shared through the broad history of the Holocaust, World War II, and the rise of Polish resistance, demonstrate their valor and hope in finding new meaning to life. This presentation is based on the book Needle in the Bone authored by presenter Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg. -
