| We are a covenantal
community; each partner sharing responsibility for supporting all aspects
of synagogue life, in accordance with their ability. Young and old
alike, with or without children, must take responsibility for the
Jewish education of our community and for the maintenance of our synagogue's
physical plant and programs.
We have developed a fair and equitable philosophy
of giving, which includes partnership (dues) requirements as well
as an obligation to support our building maintenance program. Both
are required in order for the synagogue to meet its budgetary needs.
Our partnership program includes all of the
rights and privileges of Temple membership, including High Holiday
seats and Religious School enrollment. Partnership does not include
tuition for the Jacobson Sinai Academy, Camp Sinai, or specific
Religious School registration fees.
Special categories of partnership exist based
on family structure. Persons living in our area for only part of
the year who are partnership paying members of a synagogue elsewhere
and who do not attend our High Holiday services may become Associate
Partners. Information is available on request.
Our Chai Partnership categories provide additional
giving opportunities. These partners help support our rich programs
as well as ensure that we never turn a family away from the synagogue
due to financial constraints. Chai partners are recognized on a special
plaque in the Bloom lobby of the Feinbloom Sanctuary, and are given
special honors throughout the year.
