Membership at Romemu is about a relationship. "Community" means being able to say, "we depended on you, and you were there for us." We hope the Romemu community has been there for you.

In sickness and in health; in joy and in grief; on weekdays, Shabbat, and holidays - we are committed to deep spirituality, relevant Torah (wisdom), and compassionate community. We depend on each other to: 


  • Attend services - your voice is what makes Romemu services sing
  • Participate by sharing insights and inspiration on the meaning of our tradition and Torah
  • Show up for your community and fellow members through acts of service
  • Grow in your Jewish knowledge and commitment
  • Support through membership

Not a Member? Join Today
Already a Member? Renew Now

If you joined us for High Holy Days this past year as a Romemu member and have not renewed since it is time to renew your membership.

There are membership pathways to fit every household structure and financial situation.

Every membership pathway includes many benefits. But, more valuable than what you receive is the impact of your support. As a member, you help to strengthen this community, not just for you, but for others as well.

The true cost of Romemu membership per household is $6,400. Most membership pathways are subsidized by philanthropic contributions. If you have the means to do so, we encourage you to become a Bonim (Builders) member. There are three Bonim levels to choose from - Chai ($18,000+), Minyan ($10,000+), or Sustainer ($6,400+). As a Bonim member, your support ensures we can provide the level of services and care on which our congregants rely. Learn more about Bonim membership here or contact gratitude@romemu.org.

When you join via any membership pathway at any dues amount, your financial support sustains your community. As a member, you are also invited to support your community by giving your time. Volunteering strengthens our community and is a great way to connect with new people. If you have not already found your path to deeper engagement with your community, we encourage you to indicate your interests on the new member form or membership renewal form and we will connect with you to help you take the next step.

Jade Netanya Ullmann Spirit Award
The Jade Netanya Ullmann Spirit Award is given each year to Romemu members who contribute their time, talents, and dedication to building and deepening community, creating a warm, welcoming spiritual home for all.

It is named in honor of Jade Netanya Ullmann who served (and still serves) as a Board Member, and volunteered her time as Executive Director of Romemu. Jade always gives of herself in selfless service that demonstrates her commitment to renewing the relationship that people have with Judaism through their experience at Romemu. She is the essence of what Romemu is; she is heart-centered and takes action on the many pieces that create community, from welcoming new members, serving on committees, helping with fundraising, and jumping in wherever help is needed. She was awarded this honor in 2011.

This award is for both depth & breadth of involvement, and for someone who shows up with radiance as a trustworthy representative of the “soul of Romemu”. Those of us who have received the award bring nominations, looking at each person in a “four-world model,” receiving each person’s neshama and dropping into a place of holy decision-making in order to present this award.

Each year at the annual community meeting, a group of the past recipients of the Jade Netanya Spirit Award select others worthy of carrying on her legacy. For many years, Caren Fried has led this group effort.
