The JCNWJ welcomes individuals, couples (including interfaith) and families into its congregation - anyone interested in becoming members should visit the Membership Page for more information.

The temple's spiritual leader (since 1995) is Rabbi Ellen Lewis; Marcy Kadin served as a student cantor since 2006 and completed her studies in 2009.
