Fintas
The General Members’ Meeting adopted a new fintas system in December 2013. In short, this comes down to the following:
Fintas is imposed per head of the household, regardless of the family composition. If someone wishes to become a member and has not accrued burial rights, a buy-in fee must be paid.
An objection to the annual assessment can be submitted to the Commissie van Zetters if it can be demonstrated that the contribution cannot be met.
No rights can be derived from this online overview. For more information or questions, please contact fintas@esnoga.com.
From the age of eighteen to twenty-six, a member pays €18.00 per year.
Each member from the age of 26 pays €700.00 per year.
An external member (someone who lives outside Amsterdam and may also be a member of another Jewish Community) pays €500.00 per year.
A foreign member residing abroad pays 300.00 euros per year.
A member older than 90 years and who has been a member for more than 40 years is exempt from the annual fintas contribution.
Each member pays 90.00 euros for burial rights per year and accumulates burial rights over 40 years to be buried at Beth Haim in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel.
