Religion on Trial in Miami as Couple Ordered to Pay Dues
In Miami a judge ruled Nina and Richard Kaufman must pay 90 in back temple dues to Temple Beth David after they joined in 1974 and argued payment was unaffordable. The case centers on a contractual obligation rather than religion, with the temple noting substantial impact on its budget and other families also facing nonpayment disputes. The Kaufmans, real estate agents, said they paid 20 toward 180 due, intending to settle the rest later, and warned the decision could set a precedent enabling courts to collect pledges from congregants.
