President’s Message

Dear Chaverim,                                                                                                                   July 2026

On behalf of the Board of Trustees of Congregation Shaarei Kodesh, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued commitment to and support of CSK. Our Kehillah Kedoshah—our holy community—continues to be a home for Jewish connection, comfort, and resilience.

This year, we continued to lean on one another as we prayed for peace, the security of the State of Israel, and the safety and well-being of Jews throughout the world. Through it all, CSK has remained a source of strength, light, and connection.

We celebrate the joy of coming together for Shabbat, holidays, programs, learning opportunities, religious school, and youth group events. This year, we welcomed new members, strengthened existing relationships, and engaged in a wide variety of spiritual, social, cultural, and educational activities. We shared many smachot, including B’nai Mitzvah, anniversaries, weddings, and births, and we supported one another through times of challenge and loss. In the coming year, we will continue to provide a welcoming home for Jewish learning, connection, support, and meaningful engagement.

We are pleased to announce that membership dues will not increase this year. Membership dues represent less than half of CSK’s annual operating budget, and we rely on the generosity of our members and supporters to sustain the programs, services, and infrastructure that make our Kehillah Kedoshah such a special place. We encourage you to consider additional opportunities to support our community through the programs and initiatives listed below.

As July begins our new fiscal year, your account has been automatically updated to reflect the 2026–2027 Membership Dues and Safety & Security Fee. You may log into your account online to pay by credit card, ACH (please see the instructional video here), or to establish recurring payments.

Members in the Chaverim, Vatikim, and Cheitzi categories may take advantage of the 3% payment-in-full incentive on membership dues by submitting payment in full by Monday, September 7, 2026. Those who wish to provide additional support to CSK may consider forgoing the discount. Payments may also be mailed or delivered to the office during business hours. If you need assistance with ACH or credit card payments, please contact our Executive Director, Kim Beame, at 561-852-6555.

Please click here to learn more about additional ways to support CSK, including Rabbi’s Circle, the Refresh, Renew, Refurbish (RRR) Fund, Sisterhood, Men’s Club, and Life & Legacy.

No one will ever be denied membership in our congregation due to an inability to pay dues. If you require financial assistance, please contact Kim Beame, our Executive Director. All inquiries will be handled confidentially.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to a new year filled with opportunities to pray, learn, celebrate, and care for one another as a sacred community.

B’Shalom,

Gloria Morenstein
President
