The congregation offers membership (including passes to High Holy Day services) to those who would like to participate in Jewish life at Rodeph Shalom. In our tradition dating back to biblical times, we also welcome guests.

For Out-of-Town Guests
Members may request guest e-Passes for out-of-town guests. Requests for guest e-Passes should be made by emailing Michael Saks at msaks@rodephshalom.org. Please include the name and address of your out-of-town guests. A contribution of $180 for each guest e-Pass is required. For security reasons, guest e-Passes must be obtained prior to the service.

Guest e-Pass Reciprocity
Planning to attend services at an out-of-town Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) affiliated synagogue? Contact Michael Saks at msaks@rodephshalom.org to initiate reciprocal seating.
Bringing guests to Rodeph Shalom for High Holy Day services who are members of another Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) synagogue? Please have them contact their home synagogue and request reciprocal seating at Rodeph Shalom.
