Name Your Dues - Membership Program
Baltimore Jewish Congregation breaks with tradition, introduces Name your dues Membership Program
The problem - too many Jewish families don't affiliate with synagogues. One of the main reasons - it costs too much for membership. Temple Emanuel's solution- let new members set their own dues.
In one of the boldest membership projects created by a synagogue in Maryland, Temple Emanuel, a small Reform Jewish Congregation in Reisterstown, is offering to let new members set their own monthly dues for the first year.
"Most people don't come out and say it's too expensive to belong", said Andy Benjamin, Temple Emanuel's past President. "But dues at most Reform synagogues have more than doubled over the last 10 years. And we've all seen a decline in membership. With all the stresses on families, for many it's gotten prohibitive to belong. We think letting people pay what they can, what they feel is fair, can make a real difference. "
In addition to the reduced dues, members will pay $20 a month to the building fund, and any fees associated with having their children in Temple Emanuel's religious school or pre-school classes. There is no additional charge for high holy day tickets for members.
Established in 1955, Temple Emanuel, the youngest and most intimate of Baltimore's Reform synagogues, is located at 909 Berrymans Lane, in Reisterstown.

Do you have a current living will and/or advance directive?
What You Should Know About Advance Directives
Everyone has the right to make personal decisions about health care. Doctors ask whether you will accept a treatment by discussing the risks and benefits and working with you to decide. But what if you can no longer make your own decisions?
Anyone can wind up hurt or sick and unable to make decisions about medical treatments. An advance directive speaks for you if you are unable to and helps make sure your religious and personal beliefs will be respected. It is a useful legal document for an adult of any age to plan for future health care needs. While no one is required to have an advance directive, it is smart to think ahead and make a plan now.
An advance directive can make things easier for your loved ones by helping to prevent misunderstandings or arguments about your care.

The JCFF provides individuals and families facing economic hardship with food certificates for use at local grocery stores. The Fund is supported entirely by financial contributions from individuals, congregations, organizations and others in the community. JCS uses these funds to purchase the food certificates it distributes to the individuals and families needing assistance.
