Membership

 

We are so excited that you have shown an interest in becoming a member of Congregation B'nai Jacob. We are certain that you will enjoy being part of our family. As with any family, we offer you all of our resources, and welcome your involvement in activities. 
 
To better serve your needs, we ask that you complete the attached application, and information sheet and return it to the office. The information that you share with us will remain confidential.
 
The membership committee will contact you to answer any questions as soon as possible. If you need more information, please feel free to contact membership committee chair, Yuval Fuchs. Yuval can be reached at  609-423-9220. 
 
Again, we are very excited and honored that you have chosen to become members of our congregation. We look forward to a long and happy spiritual journey. 
 

Membership Pledge 

We welcome you to our family, and look forward to your involvement in Congregation B'nai Jacob. The Synagogue is completely supported by congregation members and their dues and donations. Our synagogue is an egalitarian conservative congregation. 

In order to be as fair as possible in determining membership dues, we would ask that each family donate 1.5 to 2 percent of the gross family income. All members who are new to the Fort Wayne area will only be assessed 50% of scheduled dues (prorated for the Jewish calendar year). All newlywed couples in their year of application will enjoy their first year dues complimentary. 
 
However, if financial situations will be an obstacle to membership, or if you have any questions, please contact the membership committee or the president of the congregation. All financial considerations are kept in strict confidence.
