50% Off US Membership

There are two ways you can join:

1. Simply call your shul of your choice (you can find the contact details of all our communities here) and they will take your details and apply the discount automatically.
2. Call Michelle or Aliza in our membership team during normal office hours on 020 8343 5687 or email us via membership@theus.org.uk and they’ll be able to suggest a shul that’s right for you and answer any questions you might have.

Yes, whilst complying with all the following provisos:

• applicant must not have not been a member of a US community for at least one year
• applicant must not have any outstanding fees from previous synagogue
• applicant does not have any outstanding payment

If an applicant is under 40, no FES catch-up fees are needed.

If an applicant is over 40 (previous member and left over five years ago), and wants to join FES, they will need to pay:

• FES entrance fee (consideration will be taken into account for previous FES payments made)

If an applicant is over 40 (left within five years) they will need to pay:

• the amount equivalent to the missing FES payments for the years that they have not been a member (e.g. if 5 years, they need to pay , 5 x FES rate), and
• a fee determined by the local community FR to account for the years of missing membership

New joiners do not need to be part of FES if they do not wish to join it. However, should they wish to be part of FES they will need to pay the annual FES payment, and for those aged over 40, an initial joining fee.

The offer is per individual. If a new couple joins, they pay 50% per person (i.e. 50% of a couple rate) for the first year of their membership.

The offer is open to people over the age of 18. However, those who are single and under the age of 30 are also eligible to join Young US Membership at £70 a year. Young US Membership is already heavily discounted so is not part of the 50% offer.
