Membership

City of David

Membership in E55 runs from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.

Note: Although we do not have a “fair share” dues structure based on income, the Tzedek, Mitzvah, and Chai membership categories are intended to enable those with greater financial resources to pay their “fair share” voluntarily in the form of higher dues. We encourage you to join our congregation at the highest level possible for you. Your generosity will enable us to continue our policy of making membership available to all without regard to ability to pay. If you are in genuine need of special arrangements, please call the office. Your call will be handled in confidence.
