Now you’re wondering what this Chai Club is all about, so I’ll tell you:
CHABAD HAS NO MEMBERSHIP DUES.
Why? Because every Jew is a member at Chabad!
I challenge you, try walking into any Chabad center and you’ll be welcomed and embraced just like any involved member of the community. No one is ever turned away; no one ever feels less important because of lack of funds, lack of Jewish knowledge or their level of observance.
When we are asked "how many members do you have?" our answer always is "however many Jews there are in town".
YES, CHABAD STILL HAS BILLS TO PAY!
Thank G-d, each year Chabad continues to grow and so does our budget.
We pride ourselves in being very careful with our funds, stretching every dollar to the fullest; and No, we do not receive monetary support from Chabad headquarters!
SO HOW DO WE PAY OUR BILLS WITHOUT COLLECTING MEMBERSHIP DUES?
Support for Chabad’s work comes from voluntary gifts rather than mandatory dues. Our work is supported by dedicated, generous friends in the community who believe in our vision and want to partner in our mission to make Judaism accessible and relevant to all.
The monthly automated giving model makes it easier on your part and helpful on Chabad's part. You set it up once, and our secure system processes the payments and sends you a monthly notice and acknowledgment.
