BHBE Membership 2025-2026

All members — current and new — must complete this form. 

BHBE is truly committed to welcoming all with open arms, regardless of financial circumstance. Please contact our Executive Director, Michael Kahn, to confidentially discuss a membership contribution and/or payment plan within your means. The deadline for financial assistance is June 30, 2025. Our funds for consideration are limited. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that requests made beyond this date will be met.

As is true for many non-profit organizations, our membership dues do not cover all of our operating costs. The cost per household of operating BHBE is approximately $5,250, which is substantially more than the average family’s membership dues.

Due to the ever-increasing need for security, the cost of keeping our congregation safe has increased to nearly $100,000 a year. Because our current membership dues do not cover the ongoing increases in security costs, we have included a new mandatory security fee in addition to our membership dues. We hope that you will support us as we keep our community safe and secure by paying this security fee in full if you are able. 

Finally, to receive your High Holiday tickets this fall, your dues must be paid in full or your payment plan must be set up through our system and fully paid by December 31. 

Family Membership: $3,950

Individual Membership: $1,975

Friend of BHBE: $405 (while not a member, you will receive your yahrzeit notices and general emails)

I love our kiddushim! Please accept this donation to help support providing food after Shabbat services. Suggested amount - $375/person (not per family).
Please give generously to our annual appeal! The money we collect in dues does not cover all of our expenses. We rely on the generosity of all of our members to sustain us and help us to achieve a balanced budget.
All dues and fees must be paid for by December 31, 2025. If you choose to pay in full, thank you! Otherwise, we do require a formal payment plan with us. These are the only two payment options for membership and to be able to obtain access to our High Holidays in the fall. You can set one up by logging into your account or by contacting us at information@bhbe.org or 847-256-1213.

Please complete the following sections only if this is your first year at BHBE.
