Good news! Congregation Beth Shalom now offers a new payment option for paying dues online through Zeffy, a platform for nonprofits. Payments can made through Zeffy by credit card, bank transfers, or Google/Apple Pay. Please note that the congregation is not charged a fee; however, Zeffy does request but does not require a “tip” to fund their services. (You can indicate the amount of the tip, including $0, where it says “Help keep Zeffy free for Congregation Beth Shalom of DeKalb.”)
