A note: The RMAC fee (Reform Movement Affiliation Commitment) is a fee necessary to maintain our membership in the Union of Reform Judaism (URJ) & to which all Reform congregations in the US and Canada belong. In order for us to remain a part of our Union and to continue to receive its benefits and resources, it is critical that we pay these dues ($61). Even if you cannot afford to pay full dues it is critical that the RMAC fee be paid. (paid in the first month)

No one is turned away because of inability to pay full dues. Special situations are reviewed annually on an individual basis.
Please email templeprez@gmail.com if you wish to discuss and/or review an adjustment to your fees or contact the office at tshalom1@gmail.com as soon as possible.
