There are many worthy purposes for which you may make monetary gifts. These may include gifts in support of general operation of our synagogue (Congregational Fund), special purpose funds such as capital improvement or purchase of prayer books, and gifts dedicated to special projects.

Members wishing to donate significant gifts for a specific project or bequest are encouraged to speak with Rabbi Beals or our president, Alan Lipschultz.

Below are a few ways to give to our Congregation.

The High Holy Day Appeal is the Synagogue's annual solicitation of funds to supplement our dues so that we may meet our operating needs.

The Tree of Life is a beautiful sculpture in the front lobby of the Synagogue, which highlights joyous events in the lives of our members, their families and friends. Leaves may be dedicated for $175 and rocks for $500.

Memorial Plaques may be purchased to honor the memory of a loved one for $350 in the lobby or $450 in the Kraft Sanctuary.

Yahrzeit - It is customary to make a donation to one of the Synagogue funds on the anniversary of the death of a loved one.

Etz Hayim Humash or Mahzor Hadash - You might wish to dedicate one of the new Humashim or High Holy Day prayer books in honor, in dedication, or in memory of a loved one. Etz Hayim - $100 and Mahzor Hadash for $36. Please contact the office to fill out the appropriate form so that the correct information will be inscribed on the dedication bookplate.

Sponsorship of Oneg, Kiddush, Tish, or Tot Shabbat. You may wish to honor a friend or member of your family on a special occasion by sponsoring a Friday evening Oneg, a Saturday morning Kiddush, a Tish Luncheon, or Tot Shabbat reception.
