Join Us or Renew Membership

Being a member entitles you to a wealth of activities:

  • Our monthly Newsletters with news of ongoing activities plus a selection of members’ poems.
  • A copy of the annual Anthology at no further charge.
  • Attendance at monthly meetings where you can read your poetry and hear that of others.  
  • Participation in workshops, held several times a year, at a low reduced fee – Zoom workshops are   offered at no extra charge, to members only.

To join Voices Israel, just download and fill in our membership application form; pay our annual membership fee (see below for ways of doing that); and email the completed form plus details of payment method to our Treasurer.   The fee is 120 NIS for Israeli residents / $40 for overseas members; “Early Bird” rates (until March 31st of that year) are 100 NIS / $35 respectively.

To renew your annual membership, just pay the fee – again, all the ways of doing that are detailed lower down this page.  You only need to fill in the membership form again if one or more of your contact details have changed since you joined.

Israeli residents may pay by bank transfer, BIT or PayPal; we also still accept payment by check (if you must!) provided it’s in shekels and drawn on an Israeli bank account. Instructions for paying by bank transfer, BIT or check are BELOW the PayPal buttons on this page — scroll down to see them.

If you live abroad — the best option is pay by PayPal. We do NOT accept international bank transfers — they cost you, and us, most of the membership fee!

If you don’t have a PayPal account – sign up at  www.paypal.com.   It’s free and they don’t take a fee from you for making payments. No details of your credit card are transferred to us, only the amount paid.
