| Joining BJC Interested in
becoming part of the BJC family? Here's some information on the
nitty-gritty. |
| Synagogue Support Structure
This year, our Board of Trustees acted to enhance efforts to not
have synagogues seen as fee for service organizations by
changing the word "dues" to "synagogue support." The support of
our synagogues and Jewish institutions is called for in the
Torah, and it is in this spirit that we ask our members to
contribute to the support needed to keep the synagogue active
and a source of inspiration.
The
current
synagogue support schedule as a PDF file (Adobe Acrobat
Reader required)
The congregation offers varied fees for families,
individuals, couples, retirees, and single parents.
No family will be refused membership because of an inability
to pay. Anyone wishing to special arrangements should
contact the BJC office for referral to the appropriate Board
Member.
There's No Building Fund
Because BJC
does not own its own facilities, but has permanent shared sacred
space, there is no building fund to
which members are required to contribute. You pay only your
synagogue support (and applicable religious school tuition.) |
| Religious School
Tuition fees are listed on the synagogue support schedule. Fees
include textbooks.
Families whose children are enrolled in the mid-week/Saturday
Hebrew classes pay an additional fee. (Grades 4-7)
Families new to BJC with children in the religious school
will be afforded reduced tuition for the first year (does not
include Hebrew class tuition.)
Fees are structured to accommodate families with more than
one child enrolled. Visits to observe or sit in on classes are
welcome, Please schedule in advance by
contacting the school office. |
