Important Notices

Annual Endowment Gift Program

Tired of writing checks every time you want to make a donation honoring or memorializing someone? The Annual Endowment Gift Program allows you to make a one-time donation then designate a number of dedications (in honor of, in appreciation of, in memory of, etc.) throughout the year.

The dedications will receive formal acknowledgement and be listed as they are currently in the appropriate edition of Kol Beit El. Once your donation is received, you’ll be able to conveniently email the Finance Office with your specific dedications at any time.

Gifts of $250 will receive seven dedications, gifts of $500 will receive fourteen dedications, and gifts of $1000 will receive thirty dedications.

Your donation will be evenly split between the General Fund (Keren Beit El) to help fund TBE’s short-term needs and the Rabbi David Lieb Endowment to secure our long-term future.

For more information, please contact Shoni in the Finance Office here.

We need volunteers!
