As you know, our member dues billing cycle runs from January to December. We are mindful of the high cost of living in the DC area, particularly for those committed to a Jewish way of life. At the same time, Ohev’s dues have remained flat for 4 years, and lag behind those of other local Orthodox shuls. Meanwhile, our security and building costs have increased substantially over this period. Weighing these factors, the Board reached the decision to structure 2020 dues as follows:
Family Membership: $1400
Individual Membership: $950
Associate Membership: $425
First-Time Membership: $600
Under 30 Membership: $500
These new rates will be charged to all member accounts within the next few days. If you have an outstanding balance from 2019, we would ask that you please pay that promptly. If you are experiencing financial hardship, please let us know and we will gladly work with you. We will also be sending out 2019 tax statements by the end of January, so please be on the lookout for those.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss payment options, please reach out to Monica at Monica.Wolfe@ostns.org.
Sincerely, Yaakov Roth, President Monica Wolfe, Executive Director
Ohev Sholom - The National Synagogue 1600 Jonquil Street NW Washington, DC 20012
