ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DUES / PAYMENT OPTIONS (5785)

Our shul has 3 different types of memberships: Amuta/Full Membership (Building Fund), Associate Membership, and Trial Membership.
There are different membership fees and rights for each type, and there are different rates for a family headed by a married couple or for an individual or single parent household.

An Amuta/Full Member is required to commit to paying 31,000 NIS (34,000 NIS from 1 Sep 2025) towards the upkeep of the shul building in addition to their annual membership fee. This Building Fund fee can be paid through long-term, interest-free payment arrangements, with full benefits granted immediately upon first payment. Benefits full members receive include—among other things—voting rights in our Amuta (one per head of household depending on single/family membership); eligibility to serve on the Vaad; reduced prices on membership dues, social hall rental fees and Yamim Noraim seats; and priority on reserving seats for Yamim Noraim and hall rental.

Associate Members can join on a year-to-year basis with no commitment beyond each year, and no Building Fund fee, and enjoy reduced rates on social hall rental fees and priority over non-members in reserving the rental hall, but are not eligible for Yamim Noraim seating, nor are they eligible to vote or to serve on the Vaad. This is ideal for those who already belong to other shuls in the community but also frequent our shul throughout the year and would like to contribute and be a part of our kehillah.

Trial Members have all the same benefits (and limitations) of Associate Members with one exception: Trial Members are eligible for Yamim Noraim seating. This membership type is extended for one year to all interested new olim or new members to our community, after which only the other two membership categories remain as options.
