Membership at the Spanish & Portuguese Synagogue

The Spanish & Portuguese Synagogue is always happy to welcome new members. Membership at the Spanish is appealing to a wide range of spiritual seekers. We invite you to learn more about who we are and encourage you to attend our Shabbat Services as well as explore our holiday and learning programs for adults and children.

We are a participatory, creative, and inclusive community dedicated to preserving and enlivening our traditions. Peruse our website to learn more about the Spanish. Founded in 1768, first Synagogue in Canada, the Spanish & Portuguese Synagogue continues to grow each year. Our community is built upon the rich and diverse talents and contributions of our collective members; from playing music and cooking meals; to joining a committee. New members support the continued flourishing of the community’s spirit.

The Spanish & Portuguese has two membership options:

  • Single Membership: For one adult with or without children*
  • Family Membership: For two adults with or without children*

*Children = under 21 years of age

Dear Sir(s) / Madam(s),

Being of the Hebrew Faith, I am applying for a Membership in the Corporation of Spanish & Portuguese, Shearith Israel of Montreal.

I understand that this application is subject to approval by the Board of Trustees of the Synagogue. To that end, I am enclosing a Membership application form that I have completed as fully as possible.

If approved, I shall abide by the By-Laws of the Congregation, a summary of the salient points of which I have received and a full copy of which is available for our review at the Synagogue office.

Should my application be accepted, I acknowledge that my membership in the Synagogue is continuous from year to year as long as I am in good standing and pay all fees as they become due. However, should I wish to cancel my membership, I agree to notify in writing in which case my membership will terminate at the end of the Congregational year in question.
