Double Your Gift - Donate to Friends Annual Fund Today
|
As we near the end of our fiscal year, we begin to reflect on all that we have accomplished. This was an exciting year for Temple Israel. In addition to our traditional programs and learning opportunities such as TILLI, Torah Study, Tot Rock Shabbat, and Soul Food Friday, we launched several new initiatives and established partnerships with other organizations to increase our program offerings. This is all made possible through your support of the Friends Annual Fund. There is still time to make your gift, and between now and June 30, a generous donor has agreed to match the next $20,000 in donations to the Friends Annual Fund. Please consider a donation, knowing that your gift will have double the impact.

Honor the memory of a loved one by dedicating a memorial plaque in his or her memory. The Alice G. Winn Memorial Menorah is located along the rear wall of the Sanctuary, and these memorial plaques are made from glass and hung once a year during the summer. The Harry N. and Estelle S. Gorin Memorial Alcove surrounds one of the entrance doors to the Sanctuary, and these plaques are made from bronze and can be hung all year round.
Once a plaque is ordered, Temple Israel will perpetually read the name of the deceased during Shabbat services on the anniversary of death. Family members will receive notification of this date in advance of the yahrzeit. All names on plaques are included in the annual Yom Kippur Book of Remembrance distributed to the congregation on Yom Kippur. A contribution of $650 to the Temple Israel Endowment Fund will secure a plaque in either the Alcove or on the Menorah. Please contact Sue for more information. |
