    A brave thing to do at a risky time. Thanks for leading the way and showing us another path..courageous leadership!

    Great report, Dan! It’s the personal meetings leading to the Engagement Commitment that sets the stage for the effectiveness of the voluntary dues.

    An exciting effort. My wife and I founded The Woodstock (VT) Area Jewish Community 26 years ago on a “no dues” entirely “gifts of the heart” model in an area where there supposed to be no Jews. It worked well and continues to flourish. Even the school has no tuition. If we can provide information about how to do this, be in touch.

    You definitely took a risk with your new shul model. In the end, the more members feel personally engaged, important and valued, the more they buy into something, it would seem. What you did took courage and faith in people. What you got were people more willing to extend themselves, feeling more personally connected to the synagogue, rabbi and direction. When people feel they matter, make a difference, are needed and valued, they will step up in loyalty and commitment. Kol Hakavode!
