Additionally, following the practices of the Reform Movement, we ask all households to support the ongoing maintenance of our building by contributing $100 per year to the Building Fund for the first ten years of membership.

Our Temple works under a modified Fair Share System in which those members who are willing and able to participate at a higher level can do so through the Sustaining Member Program.  Approximately forty households contribute in this way.  If you are interested, we will be happy to provide details, or you can learn more at our Sustaining Member Page.

If you find that, because of your financial situation, you are unable to contribute what would be a standard financial commitment, we ask that you complete the membership application, but leave the Pledge amount field below blank.  Instead, we request that you submit a Fair Share Adjustment Form along with your Membership Application--your pledge commitment will be part of the Fair Share request.  We are a congregation that takes pride in never turning away members due to their financial circumstances.  All requests for adjustment are processed in strict confidence through the Fair Share process.
I/We understand that it is the policy of Sinai Temple to ask for payment of at least 2/3rds of your annual membership pledge prior to High Holidays, with the balance paid by December 31, unless paying by credit card or on an approved payment schedule.

I/We understand that a $100 Building Fund commitment is added to our Membership Pledge for the first 10 years of membership.  Sinai Temple requests that you pay at least 2/3 of your membership pledge prior to the High Holidays, with the balance paid by December 31, unless paying by credit card or on an approved payment schedule.
