I have a modest proposal: let us eliminate synagogue dues - Reform Judaism

I'm just going to leave this right here. Great and wonderful insights from Howard Jaffe, a fantastic rabbi at a remarkable congregation. No-brainer for some, incredibly challenging for others (and I know there are finance chairs of synagogues absolutely freaking out--understandably--at the idea of getting rid of dues as a model), but this is worth a read if you care about synagogue life and its sustainability.

I have a modest proposal: let us eliminate synagogue dues - Reform Judaism:

"Okay, it is not so modest. It may be a bit too ambitious. So how about this: can we at least rethink how we fund our synagogues?

We need a new financial model in North American Jewish life."
