[quote=Anonymous]S/o the synagogue dues thread - as a protestant Christian I am surprised by how much the synagogue dues are and how up front the temple is about collecting them and joining. At our church (Presbyterian) they ask for a pledge from members, but they don't require any specific amount. What you put into the hat on Sundays is then collected towards your pledge. But more than the fiscal issues, what surprised me is how up front the temple is about how much you should give. Which is to say - the temple seems much more comfortable dealing with money in a direct manner then my church is. This reflects what I have experienced anecdotally, that my Jewish friends are much more comfortable talking about money then my Christian friends are. Would you say that 1) this generalization has merit and/or 2) there are cultural relationships with money which extend from our religions? What do you think? [/quote]
