3. If I don't join on July 1st, are my dues pro-rated?
   Sorry, as with our membership year, our fiscal year begins on July 1st ; congregants that join between May and December are billed for the annual dues amount. Those that join between December and April are billed based on a pro-rated amount.

   With membership, you can request tickets for your children (under the age of 25). If you choose to attend the unreserved seating services, those tickets are free. If you choose to attend the reserved seating services, tickets/seats can be purchased at the junior rate.

6. How do I acquire High Holiday tickets for other family members?
   Due to limited space, we only make guest tickets available to members for their immediate relatives who live outside of New York City. Requests for guest tickets must be made in writing and are filled in the order they were received.

7. What are the benefits of joining the Congregation?
   In addition to providing you with a place for prayer and counseling, membership at Rodeph Sholom instills a sense of belonging to a community. Membership also comes with the privilege of access to our Clergy for lifecycle events. You will be able to educate your children in the richness of Judaism, and you can take advantage of our extensive Adult Education programs.
