«So in 2010, at Temple Brith Achim in King of Prussia, Pa., the board decided to eliminate dues. "It was the middle of the recession," says Matt Shapiro, president of the Reform congregation. "People were having significant financial difficulties. We were looking for ways to help families without having to close our doors. We thought: 'People will pay what they can. If they walk away, we're not going to get their money. If they're forced to pay more than they can afford, they're not going to stay very long.' " »
