Should Judaism be accessible before someone can afford it?

The Free Synagogue Movement was built around:

  •  A free pulpit 
  •  Freedom of conscience 
  •  No pew rentals 
  •  No required dues 
  •  Equality and social justice 

And that's Kehillah.

At a time when many people feel disconnected from institutions, perhaps people are not looking for less community. Perhaps they are looking for a different kind of community. Let's talk about it.
