Get Involved
One of the best ways to make the most of your membership and build lasting friendships is to get involved! Beth Or sponsors hundreds of spiritual, educational and social programs, events and experiences throughout the year that are for everyone and/or tailored to specific interests and life stages. We encourage you to check out a program that interests you and participate at a level that works best for you and your family. Refer to the website calendar, your weekly Chai Lights and Community Matters emails, or the current issue of Spotlight for upcoming programs.
If you are looking to volunteer, we can use your expertise, enthusiasm and time! We rely on our members to help create outstanding programs and meaningful experiences. You can volunteer as a lay leader, committee chair, or committee member. The opportunities run the gamut – from membership in auxiliaries such as Brotherhood and Sisterhood, to program/event planning, to fundraising, Social Action/Social Justice, and so much more! We can’t do it without you, and your participation will give back 100 fold.
