[quote=Anonymous]As noted in that thread, the synagogues ask for dues partly because they don't otherwise collect money during the year from members to cover their operations. Depending on how observant you are, you're possibly not even carrying money on Shabbat or holidays, so there's no passing the hat, no opportunity to collect funds except in the annual dues campaign and the occasional separate capital campaign. Besides, some churches have an explicit requirement that believers tithe 10 percent of their income, which isn't really that different from the approach synagogues take, is it?[/quote]
