[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]What you put into the hat on Sundays is then collected towards your pledge[/b]. 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?

How does the church/priest/church director know what you put into the collection hat? Do you tell him or her later, "I put $20 in every week, so I'm up to date?"[/quote]
