We're excited to introduce our new membership model at Woodstock Jewish Congregation, designed to meet diverse needs and circumstances. Individual Membership options allow you to choose from either Set Dues, Zoom Membership, or Fair Share Dues.

SET DUES

Set Dues offer straightforward options. Annual Dues for a one-adult household are $1,200. A one-adult household membership includes one adult, all children under the age of 22, and dependents with special needs. Under this new model, if you are unable to meet this set dues amount, please refer to the Fair Share dues below.
REMOTE MEMBERSHIP

Our Remote Membership extends membership benefits to remote participants who are scattered throughout the state and country, often at some distance from the shul, or cannot otherwise attend WJC events in person want to experience services, teachings and other programs through the power of Zoom. Annual dues for a remote one-adult household are $690, or 60% of the fair share dues level. Remote members can also serve on committees as well as take on a governance role as a board member should they so desire and be nominated. Under this new model, if you are unable to meet this set dues amount, please refer to the Fair Share dues below.
FAIR SHARE DUES

The WJC wishes to affirm our community’s value of accessibility to WJC membership, regardless of ability to pay. It also wishes to uphold our obligation to create a kehillah kedoshah - a holy community – where we each assume responsibility for meeting the costs of maintaining and operating our synagogue. A Fair Share Dues system, which is currently being offered as an alternative, allocates a portion of that financial responsibility among our community members based on their household income.

Fair Share Dues allows members to select a commitment based on their adjusted gross income using our Fair Share Dues Schedule.  We are not asking you to disclose details concerning your income, nor are any financial documents required. We ask only that you select your dues level as honestly and accurately as possible. You are the expert on what is accessible for you to financially contribute.

If you would like to speak with someone about how to calculate your income, help you decide which dues option works best for you, or seek other financial assistance, please contact the Senior Administrator, Tara Nicholson (admin@wjcshul.org) to discuss.

All financial information will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.

Members are expected to contribute a minimum of $200 per year, starting in the third year of a standard membership and until a total of $1,000 has been paid to the building fund. You can elect to start your payments immediately in 2025, or defer them to 2026 or 2027. This contribution will be waived during the years in which members are paying tuition for children in our Family School or B’Mitzvah Program.
 
 

The WJC honors those members who contribute above and beyond their standard dues payments or give a significant contribution of their time to the success of the WJC. Households that contribute $1,800 (“Chai”) above their dues level, will be recognized as members of the Chai Circle.

Additionally, notable volunteers will be selected by the Board each year. All members of the Chai Circle will receive up to three additional guest passes for High Holy Day services. If members cannot personally use their passes, they are welcome to donate them to participants who cannot afford the cost of High Holy Day services. Additional events may be scheduled for Chai Circle members at the WJC’s discretion.
 

 
In order to be a member in good standing, we request that you make a contribution to the WJC upon completing this form, even if you would rather make your full contribution via check or other payment method.

On the next page you will be directed to make your contribution, which is displayed below and calculated based on your above selections. You will be able to elect to make your full commitment now or make a recurring contribution of your choosing. All contributions for this year should be made in full by June 1, 2026.

If you are logged into your account you will be able to record your preferences and send a check(s) at your convenience or make your contribution through a donor advised fund.
