Funding
and Support
The
Havurah Synagogue is a membership based nonprofit organization.
Membership is assessed by each member on an ability-to-pay program.
Dues are based on approximately 2% of a member or family's net income.
In
addition each member is assessed an additional percentage for our
Building Fund which helps us cover the day-to-day expenses of our
sanctuary and classrooms.

Help
us pay for our new sanctuary
This year we are dedicated to reducing most of the debt on
our beautiful new sanctuary
and classrooms. This is the first new Jewish sanctuary built in
the Northwest in the last fifty years, and the first entirely new
Jewish Renewal sanctuary in the world. Dedicated in memory of Jackie
Rose Sandler, the sanctuary has become a kind of community center
in Ashland and has already hosted some extraordinary concerts, plays,
peace gatherings, and interfaith events besides our regular schedule
of Jewish sacred ceremonies (Shabbat and holiday services, bar and
bat mitzvahs, weddings, and memorial services).
Download
and fill out and mail to us the sanctuary pledge form and
make a tax deductible contribution which will lead toward the elmination
of debt. Every dollar we save through debt reduction is a dollar
we can spend on our school, adult education programs, and our outreach
efforts.
Dedicate
a chair
Each chair in our sanctuary has a beautiful plaque with the
name of the person or family who purchased the chair for us. Please
participate and honor a loved one in your family with a special
dedication. Download the chair dedicationform.

help us reduce our mortgage debt.
Dedicate
a prayerbook

will be imprinted in the inside cover of our daily and holiday prayerbooks.
