Membership at Congregation Hakafa
Membership at Congregation Hakafa
We are happy you are considering membership at Hakafa and look forward to the opportunity to welcome you into our encirclement.
FINANCIAL COMMITMENT
Hakafa does no fundraising, so we rely solely on the yearly financial commitments of our members to pay for the programs of our congregation.
Hakafa was founded with an expectation that budgeted expenses would be equal to the financial support of its members. Dividing the total budget among the number of member units establishes the level of financial commitment that would sustain Hakafa’s programs if every member unit paid the same amount. The congregation set this sustaining amount at $2,925 for 2023-2024.
Congregation membership includes FREE Religious School/Hebrew School/High School, as the education of our children is an integral part of the services we provide.
We encourage our members to value our circle by providing the greatest level of financial support that they can. Our bylaws state that all members should help “...in relation to their individual or family financial capabilities.” No one is denied a place in our Hakafa community because of financial concerns, nor do we require disclosure of anyone’s finances.
We rely on the generosity of members with greater financial resources to give above the sustaining amount to ensure that we are able to run our congregation. Your extra help will be greatly appreciated.
Whatever you give to Hakafa, we are grateful for your interest in belonging to our circle.
