JOIN / Dues
In order for The New Shul to serve the needs of our community, we must all take personal and financial responsibility for creating and sustaining its programs and activities. The cost of operations for the year 2009-10 was approximately $3,000 per household. Membership dues and religious school fees covered only about 55% of those expenses with the balance coming from contributions, the Chai Five Fund, and special events. The dues schedule is based on a sliding scale related to annual household gross (pre-tax) income for calendar 2009. As an example, if you are a 2-adult household and your combined 2009 household gross income was $90,000, your dues are $1,200. Children under the age of 18 are included in their parents' membership.
PLEASE NOTE: Dues should be calculated based on the COMBINED HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF BOTH ADULTS.
High Holy Day Seating High Holiday seats are provided for all members and their children. Additional seats for family or friends may be purchased.
For information on our religious school program and fees, see the learning page.
