Membership
We are an active and growing congregation. Our Temple membership is diverse in age, profession, personal characteristics and religious background — but unified in our commitment to the maintenance of a vibrant Jewish community in Snohomish, Skagit, Island, and North King Counties.
Our Temple is like an extended family that has many interests and supports our members in their pursuit of those interests. Our Reform approach to Judaism encourages all of us to explore, learn, and participate in our own way.
We strive to make our Temple a warm and inviting place for all members and visitors. We are happy to welcome you to worship, study, and celebrate with us.
To receive more information about membership to our synagogue, please email office@templebethor.org or call us at 425-259-7125
