B'nai Jehudah History
The latest installation of A Moment in our History, takes us into modern times (as recently as last month!) with a look at our building at 12320 Nall. Thanks to 150th Committee Chairs, Dan and Jennie Stolper, the latest issue focuses on how our current building came into being, and how it has served our congregation.

Important Information about B'nai Jehudah Billing
Please note the full charge for the year is added at the beginning of the year. You do not need to pay the full amount in June – you are welcome to send periodic payments (monthly or quarterly, for example). We will include the number of months remaining in the fiscal year on each statement.
Depending upon your preferences, this change to our membership system does not have to change how you make payments. You may continue to make payments: by mailing a check, through your bank’s bill pay program, though a foundation, with a required minimum distribution from an IRA, making a stock donation or calling the office with a credit card.
In addition to those payment options, you may also now make a payment with either an e-check or a credit card via ShulCloud.
Please contact us at the office if you have any questions.
