Feature
Dues that renew themselves.
Membership tiers, annual billing, household records, and member-only communications — the administrative backbone for shuls and community organizations, minus the ledger book.
The problem
Sound familiar?
The dues ledger lives in one man's headThe gabbai or treasurer knows who's paid, who's behind, and who has an arrangement. When he steps down, the institution loses its memory.
Awkward collection conversationsChasing a fellow community member for dues face-to-face at kiddush is nobody's favorite mitzvah.
Membership data goes staleAddress changes, new babies, bar mitzvahs — life happens and the membership roster quietly rots.
What 613OS does
Built to make this disappear
Membership tiers & billingFull member, associate, young family, senior, and custom tiers — each with its own dues schedule, billed and collected automatically.
Household membership recordsEvery household as one record: members, children, key dates, seats, and the complete payment and pledge history.
Automatic renewal cyclesAnnual dues renew with a personalized notice, a payment link, and polite automated follow-up — no treasurer chasing required. The board sees progress live.
Custom arrangements honoredReduced dues, payment plans, and confidential arrangements modeled per household with dignity and privacy.
Member communicationsAnnouncements, event invitations, and member-only messages segmented by membership status.
Aliyah & honor pledges collectedPledges made in shul recorded and invoiced automatically — with payment links that close the loop from bima to bank.
One record per household
Members, seats, pledges, yahrzeits — on one record
When the treasurer or board changes, nothing is lost. Every member, arrangement, pledge, and payment lives in the system rather than one volunteer's spreadsheet.

Frequently asked questions
What is membership dues software?
Membership dues software automates shul and organization membership: tiers, annual renewals, household records, and confidential arrangements, with dues collected by card or bank debit automatically. 613OS replaces the treasurer's spreadsheet with a system that renews, reminds, and reconciles itself.
Can members be on different dues arrangements?
Yes. Tiers, family and single rates, senior rates, and quiet confidential arrangements all coexist. Each member's amount and schedule is their own, and the treasurer sees a live picture of who's current without maintaining a spreadsheet.
How do annual renewals work?
Renewals run as an automatic campaign: members receive a personalized renewal notice, pay online in one tap, and non-responders get polite reminders. The board sees renewal progress live instead of discovering shortfalls at budget time.
Does it handle aliyah and appeal pledges too?
Yes. Pledges recorded from the bima or an appeal enter the member's record and convert to invoices with payment links automatically — the bridge from announcement to bank account that most shuls are missing.
What happens when a board or treasurer changes?
Nothing is lost. The full history of every member, pledge, and payment lives in the system rather than in one volunteer's files, so transitions stop erasing institutional memory.
