In just over a quarter of a century, Congregation Sha'ar Zahav has made a significant mark on the Jewish community in the San Francisco Bay Area, nationally, and around the world. We have built a thriving, diverse, welcoming congregation with an extraordinary level of member participation in all aspects of synagogue life. Our Rabbi and volunteer board members are partners in leadership.

New Member Dues Policy

Dear friends of Sha’ar Zahav - this is the best time to become a member of Congregation Sha’ar Zahav.  Our new dues policy allows first year members (you) to join with a pledge of your discretion, which will remain active until July of the following calendar year.  After your first "year" of membership, we will ask you to align your pledge with the CSZ fair share dues policy.  Furthermore, for all you recent college grads out there (under 25), we are offering a yearly membership for triple chai ($54)! 

Please note that this special offer is available only to those who have never before been members of CSZ.
