Membership

Welcome! We’re glad you’re here. We invite you to get a taste of our warm, inclusive, progressive Jewish community by joining us for a Kabbalat Shabbat service or scheduling a visit. Our vibrant, diverse, and multigenerational community draws from Highland Park, Glencoe, Chicago, and other surrounding areas. We pray, learn, celebrate, and mourn together. There are many ways to get involved, from attending services to engaging in tikkun olam (repairing the world) to learning with our incredible clergy and guest teachers, and so much more.  We welcome you to explore our community and find your place at NSCI.

Susan Ellenby, our engagement manager, would love to connect with you and tell you more about our community. Please contact Susan by phone or email to discuss your interest or fill out an interest form.

Come Visit Us

We would love to have you join us for a meaningful Shabbat service, a lively morning at our religious school, or special High Holy Day services which are open to the community. If you are planning to come to a Shabbat service or event, let us know in advance because we would like to greet you and introduce you to some of our wonderful congregants. Please reach out to Susan Ellenby to schedule a visit.
