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.
