Membership Rates

We have an elegantly simple membership structure. Each individual adult (age 23+) per household pays $900/year. Any household with one or more children (between the ages of 3-22) pays $500/year for their dependent(s). (See the sample table below to see what it might look like for you.)

No one will be excluded from membership because of financial circumstances and we aspire to have all in our community join as members as we build our future together. We offer the Ezrah option for those who need to join at a lower level. Simply reach out to Sela at sela@romemu.org to schedule a confidential conversation. All membership benefits are conferred upon those who need Ezrah.

Membership starts each year on July 1st, and renews on June 30th. (Anyone who joins before the High Holy Days, but after July 1st, pays the full annual fee and renews the following June 30th. Anyone who joins after the High Holy Days pays a prorated amount of the annual fee and renews the following June 30th at the full annual fee rate.) When joining, one makes a commitment to pay the full annual amount even if electing the monthly payment option.

The following chart is a sample of various household structures, applying our membership rates:

Romemu Brooklyn Membership Sample Chart	Rates per Year
One adult in the household (age 23+)	$900/year
Two adults in the household (ages 23+)	$1,800/year
One adult with kid(s) ages 3-22	$1,400/year
Two adults with kid(s) ages 3-22	$2,300/year
