RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP
As the High Holy Days approach, we ask you to reaffirm your commitment to Temple Beth Israel for the coming year. Your continued involvement means a lot to us.
Our sustaining membership model is built on the premise that most everyone will pay the targeted amount, and that enough people will pay above that amount to subsidize those who cannot afford to meet the target. Please support TBI by giving at an amount both meaningful and in accordance with your circumstances, and that reflects the value you place on your TBI membership. Please be as generous as you can.
For the year 5785 (2024-2025), the sustaining membership contribution is:
$1,000 for an Individual
$2,000 for a Family (one or more adults and any children under age 25)
Your membership support allows TBI to provide:
Rabbinical support through prayer, learning, pastoral care and counseling
Meaningful high holy day services led by Rabbi Ben Chaidell and Cantor Ellen Band with no extra seat charge for members
Life cycle events such as brit/namings, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, wedding and funeral services at the synagogue
Staff support, ongoing maintenance, improvement, and security at our building
