South Bucks Jewish Community in Buckinghamshire - Membership Subscription Details

These charges are annual fees payable from 1st September 2009 and are on a pro-rata basis.

FUNERAL/BURIAL OVER-AGE ENTRY FEES
(Please note this is a single payment in addition to the above fee, where applicable, based on age when joining).

FULL FAMILY MEMBERSHIP: this category includes two adult members and their children up to the age of 21. The children are entitled to attend cheder and all members of the family are automatically covered under the LJ/NPLS Burial & Cremation Scheme, {unless they request otherwise}.

ONE JEWISH PARENT FAMILY: this category covers one parent and his/her family. As with the Full Family membership, the children are entitled to attend cheder and the registered members are covered under our Burial/Cremation Scheme.

SINGLE ADULT MEMBERSHIP: this category entitles one adult to membership of the SBJC and the Burial/Cremation Scheme. It is worth noting here that should the circumstances of a single adult member change and he/she then has a child or children whom he/she wishes to be considered as members of the community, the membership category would change to one of the above, as appropriate. NO children are covered under this category.

JUNIOR MEMBER: this category applies to young adults, aged 21 to 25 years, whether they are joining for the first time or are existing members in a family membership. At 21 a young adult must join in his/her own right in order to be covered by the Burial/Cremation Scheme.

JUNIOR MEMBER PLUS: this category applies to young adults, aged 26 to 29 years who are the children of existing family members of SBJC.

People’s circumstances are always different and frequently go through changes. SBJC hopes to be able to provide a membership category which will suit all its members as their lives develop. However, members themselves need to be aware of and understand the differences within the categories to ensure that they are registered in the category that best suits their needs, and that will avoid any possible misunderstandings.

FRIEND OF SBJC: Friends of SBJC are entitled to participate in all SBJC social, adult education and cultural events and to attend all of its religious activities. Friends also receive a copy of Hagephen every quarter and will receive tickets to attend High Holyday services.
Please note that Friends of SBJC are not eligible to vote at General Meetings, but they may in certain circumstances be eligible to participate in LJ/NPLS burial and funeral schemes.
