In order to keep up with increasing costs and expanded services for 2026-2027, we are asking that each family unit increase their dues by 5%. Additionally, we have found that asking for a Building Fund donation separate from the dues did not express that these funds are imperative to our functioning. We have therefore decided to incorporate the building fund donation of $180 into the dues. This increase will allow us to catch up with inflation and the costs of running a congregation of this scale.
Our suggested average total annual household membership pledge for 2026-2027 is $2,800 or $234 per month per household. We recognize that this amount is not possible for everyone, but ask that all members make a minimum pledge of $18 per month. Your attached invoice is a reflection of this 5% + $180 increase based on your dues paid last year.
Our actual yearly costs per family are $3,500. For those who are able, we appreciate a higher yearly pledge. Additionally, please consider giving to the David Walden Fund an amount of $216 per year to sponsor a family that cannot afford membership in 2026-2027.
Description
Temple Bat Yam is a warm and vibrant community. Nestled the beauty of the South Lake Tahoe, visitors find a relaxed and informal atmosphere in which people of all ages, backgrounds and orientations come to worship, learn, enjoy music, explore Judaism and find new friends. While you do not have to be a member to attend any Service or event at Temple Bat Yam, your membership allow us to continue providing a Jewish home in South Lake Tahoe and Carson Valley.
