Year-End Giving 
As year-end approaches, don’t forget tax-saving opportunities with Temple Beth El.
Your donations help children go to Jewish summer camp and attend Torah School, provide needed funds for additional programs for our members, and offer tzedakah in many other ways.
Now is your opportunity to save on your taxes and provide for our sacred community.
Did you know that your mandatory IRA distribution is tax free if you have it sent directly to TBE?
