We have three membership categories: Full, Student and Associate.
Full Membership
Full membership is based on family households and includes all children under age 23. We offer new members a discount from our usual membership donation. New member donations for 2018-19 are:
| One-Adult Household | Two-Adult Household |
| $495 | $990 |
Note that we offer a further reduction to households who enroll their children in our Machaneh Shabbat (Shabbat Camp) program for children. Go to the Machaneh Shabbat webpage for further information.
Also note that we will apply any High Holy Day visitor donations to a full membership if you wish to join after trying us out during the holidays.
OrH Full Members receive a 20% discount on a first-time membership to the Soloway Jewish Community Centre (SJCC). Note to current JCC members seeking a reciprocal discount on first-year OrH membership: The first-year member donation rates above reflect a discount of more than 25% off our regular member donation rates. We do not add an additional discount onto the already discounted first-year rate.
Student Membership
Students attending a secondary or post-secondary education program are eligible for student membership. Student members pay $36 for the year.
Existing members of the SJCC will receive a 20% discount on a new first-year student member donation. OrH Student Members receive a 20% discount on a first-time membership to the Soloway Jewish Community Centre (SJCC).
