What are the costs of membership?
It is a fact of life that synagogues require money in order to exist. At B’nai Tzedek, we strive to balance the needs of the Congregation with the needs of each individual member. There are two very important principles regarding each member’s financial commitment to CBT:

• All members are expected to contribute to the best of their ability so that the synagogue can continue to function for the benefit of all.
  
  
• No one is denied membership at Congregation B’nai Tzedek because of an inability to pay. It is our practice to adjust the annual commitment for those members whose economic situation does not allow them to maintain membership without such an adjustment. This practice is based on the belief that affiliation with our Congregation is a highly valued and important part of a Jewish life.
