Top Ten Reasons I'll Never Ever Ever Join a Synagogue

(But why you might want to join The New Shul)

  1. I don't want to be a member of a synagogue, I just want it to be there when I need it.

    The New Shul is a grassroots community (with lots of anti-institutional, non-joiner types!). Without your membership support, we simply won't be here.
  2. I don't like services.

    The New Shul is about lots more than services! Our calendar is packed with many different kinds of events, programs, classes and spiritual experiences. We're also exploring ways to redefine ‘services.'
  3. I hated Hebrew School.

    Many of us were also turned off by Hebrew School. That's why we created Rishonim for our kids. Kids actually like it! Come for a visit and you'll see why.
  4. I don't believe in God.

    At The New Shul we're constantly questioning, grappling, doubting and exploring. That's what keeps it interesting.
  5. I only go once a year anyway.

    Once you become a member, you might be surprised to find that you come more often.
  6. My wife/husband/partner isn't Jewish.

    The New Shul welcomes everyone. We're proud of the diversity within our membership – interfaith, single, gay, couples, straight, families, reform, conservative, orthodox, reconstructionist, atheist...
  7. I don't like organized religion.

    We're not that organized.
  8. I don't want my level of observance/non-observance to be judged by others.

    We're not your parents' shul. We don't follow any particular party line – we draw from many sources of Jewish tradition and create some pretty compelling ones of our own.
  9. I'm spiritual but not religious...actually I'm culturally Jewish, but not into ritual ...actually, I'm just not sure what being a Jew means in the 21st century...

    You'll feel right at home.
  10. I'm just not interested.

    Are you so sure? You're reading this, aren't you?
