Our Fair Share Dues Structure

We respect the privacy of your personal finances and we never ask you to send any personal information to us.

Our Fair Share Dues Structure is designed to allow each member to pay according to their ability. Depending on income, we ask members to pay between 1-2% of their yearly income as dues to the congregation.

Based on the principle that everyone should contribute to the community, we ask everyone to start by giving a minimum of $18. (This is based on the half-shekel that every Jew was required to tithe to the Temple in the Torah.)

These dues go to pay our rabbis, rent, office expenses, and other needs throughout the year.

We do not turn anyone away because of inability to pay.

If you have questions about membership would like to discuss our Fair Share dues structure, feel free to email Liz in our office at AmHaskalahDirector@gmail.com.
