We warmly invite you to join our diverse yet close-knit synagogue community! Whether you’re exploring membership or simply looking for ways to connect, we’re here to help. Reach out to us anytime at [email protected] or (250) 382-0615.
As Canada’s oldest synagogue in continuous use, Congregation Emanu-El is a historic and vibrant centre of Jewish life in Victoria. Your involvement and support strengthen our community and ensure that Jewish traditions continue to thrive. Together, we sustain the thread that ensures these traditions and our community flourish and evolve for generations to come.
Becoming a member of Congregation Emanu-El means joining a welcoming and inclusive community rooted in tradition and committed to growth. Our Membership Committee works to build meaningful connections among members, reach out to unaffiliated individuals and families, and foster warm relationships across the Victoria and Vancouver Island region. We strive to support interfaith families and everyone seeking to participate in Jewish life, strengthening both our synagogue and the broader Jewish community.
We follow a Fair Share Dues Membership model, an equitable approach that supports each member/household to give according to their means. Your Membership dues are charitable donations; each February, we provide tax receipts for all synagogue dues and any additional donations. For more information or to join as a member, please contact the synagogue office at (250) 382-0615 / [email protected].
