Please be sure to log into your membership account
before proceeding.

We are so grateful that you are part of our CAA community. The Board of Trustees of Congregation Agudat Achim asks each member to pledge and support the financial obligations of the Congregation.  The synagogue leadership, made up of congregant volunteers, makes a commitment to you, to operate our synagogue in a financially responsible way.

By reaffirming your financial commitment to Congregation Agudat Achim, you make it possible for us, together, to fulfill our mission: to foster personal connection to God, Torah, and Jewish tradition, as we develop a strong sense of local community, as well as, connection to the Jewish people worldwide.

These dues pledges form the basis of our annual budget, enabling our staff, committees and volunteers to accurately program and plan.  If you need to make any changes to your pledge throughout the year, please contact our treasurer David Fisher at 978-534-6121, or by email: office@agudat-achim.org

Thank you.
