2008-2009 Membership Renewal

Our congregation welcomes all members of the Jewish community and their families. Since the annual pledge represents the primary source of funding for the congregation’s diverse programs, every member is asked to make a "fair share" contribution. The objectives of the "fair share" policy are:

To distribute the responsibility for financial support among the members in an equitable manner.
To provide an income to the congregation which is adequate to meet budgeted expenses.
To make it possible for any member of the Jewish community to join the congregation regardless of financial means.
To enable you to make a real contribution to our Jewish community, to the best of your financial ability.
