Membership Application Form

NSNS Membership Application

Thank you for expressing an interest in joining New Stoke Newington Shul.

Once you have submitted the form we will be in touch with you with further details.

Membership types

There are two types of NSNS membership available, please consider which is correct for you.

Full membership - this is appropriate for people who are halachically Jewish. This membership will allow you to stand for council positions and vote at the annual general meeting. Membership for the Joint Jewish Burial Society (JJBS - jjbs.org.uk) is mandatory and £56 per year will be charged annually for this as a separate fee.

Associate membership - this may be appropriate for some people in the following groups: those who are full members at another synagogue and don't wish to pay into two burial schemes but wish to support NSNS; those who are part of our conversion course; non-Jewish partners; people who are not halachically Jewish but wish to be officially associated with our community.

Gift Aid

Boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1 you donate

We ask each adult to allow NSNS to claim Gift Aid on your membership donation. Gift Aid is reclaimed by the charity from the tax you pay for the current tax year. Your address is needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer.

Gift Aid

I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

Please notify NSNS if you want to cancel this declaration, if you change your name or home address, or if you no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains

If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.

Voluntary Membership Donations

As a charity we rely on your continued financial support to keep our activities running, our venues booked and our Rabbi paid. Rather than charge a fixed fee for membership since April 2019 we have moved to a fairer and more progressive model, where those able to contribute more are encouraged to do so, and those less financially able don’t need to apologise or ask permission to pay less.

We instead ask you to donate, as you are able, according to a progressive income based model (please see table of suggested donation amounts below). We will never ask you to declare your income to us or question you regarding your financial status. We only ask you to be honest and as generous as you can. Donations above and beyond those recommended are of course very welcome.
