[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Jewish concept of a tithing obligation is to give a tenth or more of one's income to charity. That is typically understood to include not only official "charities," but also individual poor people whom one wishes to help. It is not focused in any way on the synagogue specifically. [b]Synagogue dues [/b]are common, and that is a separate concept. Depending on the exact circumstances, synagogue dues and donations may count towards the above tithing obligation.[/quote] I’m curious about synagogue dues, how they’re assessed (or whatever the correct term is). Also, if other churches have specific amounts like this I’d love to hear from you. It sounds more like a “here is what it costs to keep the lights on” amount. [/quote] I was on the board of my synagogue and we accessed dues to maintain our building, pay our clergy and office staff and support programs [/quote]
