We are proud to be a congregation in which members give freely and from the heart. Knowing that our members would like guidance on how to determine their annual financial commitment, we are providing several examples of commitment levels.
The total expense budget divided by the number of adults is $3,230 for a 2-adult household, ($1,615 per adult). Receiving this amount would allow us to break even for our 2021/2022 fiscal year.
Help us by introducing Shir Hadash to friends, relatives and acquaintances. As we add more members, the amount we would need per adult will become less.
You will be kept informed of our financial contribution progress throughout the year. This is the third year of this new voluntary commitment program and we are confident that everyone will give as generously as they can based upon what your head and heart suggest.
Please note: ALL VOLUNTARY COMMITMENTS ARE KEPT COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL
Suggested Levels are for reference only as each member household must decide the level of support that their heart and head tell them is right for them. Please check one or fill in the blank.
*If you choose to pay your Building Fund commitment all at once, you receive 20% the total of $2450 for a full payment of $1960.
Your student(s) will be registered for the 2021/2022 school year when:
1) You renew your synagogue membership for the 2021/2022 fiscal year with the required payment information. 2) You submit the School Registration Form.
3) You are confirmed as being in good financial standing (i.e. current in your financial obligations) with the synagogue. .
