To apply for Associate membership, please complete the online form below.

If you are already a member or have been a member in the past, please contact the EAJS administration rather than applying again as your original membership record probably still exists. There is no need to apply again simply to change your membership type or if you have forgotten your password. Applying again may lead to you having multiple membership records under different user-ids/emails.

Please note that EAJS membership is not automatic and new membership applications do take a little time to process. Normally new membership applications are batched up and processed in the first week of the following month.

Please make sure you have read our Privacy Policy to understand what information we require and how we use it.

When you click the Apply button at the bottom of the form, you will be directed to the subscription payment facility operated by WorldPay. Once your subscription has been paid you will receive an email advising of your login details. This provides provisional confirmation of your membership.

Note that you are required to provide the names of two referees who should be scholars active in the field of Jewish Studies at universities or other higher education institutions, who are familiar with your work.

The EAJS membership year runs from 1 January to 31 December. Please note that the EAJS operates on an arrears system, whereby for members who are in arrears, a payment for the current membership year and the previous membership year (i.e. a payment for 2 years of membership) will be considered sufficient to clear all prior arrears and return the membership to good standing.

For details of membership categories please go to Membership Categories and Subscription Rates.
