  1. People usually pay annual dues.  They also make contributions to specific purpose funds anytime they want.  These are usually in memory of or in honor of someone and the honorees name (not the amount) may be published in the bulletin.  There are often envelopes in the vestibule of the sanctuary for people to take and send in money whenever they see fit.


  2. No, in fact synagogues aren't supposed to ask for money from the congregation over what the dues for the members are

  3. The Jewish people understand that tithes were based on the increase of produce and livestock, and never wages.

    They donate monies for the support of their synagogues.

    .

  4. the notion of tithing (because it is no longer temple times) is not applicable in the biblical sense. We don't take a tenth for the priests, or a tenth to go to jerusalem and spend it there, but we are still required to give a tenth to charity.  However, while synagogues often collect for charity, we do not deal with money on the sabbath so we keep our charitable giving to the other 6 days.
