Members and Friends
We would welcome you to join us, by becoming a Member or a Friend.

Membership of NRS is open to all Jews (as defined by the Movement for Reform Judaism Beth Din) and applications are welcomed by the Honorary Secretary or Chairman on the appropriate forms. Please note that the first year's subscription is payable with the application. Non-Jewish partners or individuals who wish to support the Synagogue and associate with it may apply to become 'Friends of NRS'. Our 'chanukiah' - the nine branch candelabra used to celebrate the festival of Chanukah

The Synagogue is a registered charity and is completely self-financing. As such it has to cover the cost of a Rabbi, Synagogue building, Prayer House and all overheads, expenses and administration from membership subscriptions and fund-raising activities. A realistic fee is charged each year (as approved by the members at the Annual General Meeting) for membership and for 'Friends'. We ask for subscriptions to be Gift Aided wherever possible as this enables NRS to recover a substantial proportion of tax for each subscription. The Synagogue Council has a policy of not excluding anyone from membership on the grounds of genuine hardship. If the fee presents a genuine problem to you, please talk to the Treasurer, who will listen sympathetically and will determine an appropriate level of fee.
