SUPPORT CTI WHEN YOU SHOP

Two programs now give members the opportunity to provide needed funds to Tifereth Israel, without changing their current shopping habits.
AmazonSmile
is operated by Amazon and has the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of your purchase to Congregation Tifereth Israel. Just search for us by name when you log into your account. Tifereth Israel also earns through the
Kroger Community Rewards
program. If you have a Kroger Plus card, please register it with the program and select Congregation Tifereth Israel to receive a donation based on your purchases each time you use your card. Please encourage your family and friends to use both of these services when they shop.
|
SERVICES ACCESSIBLE TO ALL
|
Congregation Tifereth Israel is committed to eliminating barriers to participation in our programs and services. Members and guests may request large-print materials and assistive hearing devices from ushers during services. In addition, services held in the sanctuary and Katz Chapel are streamed live, via the internet, and can be viewed by going to our
website
and following the links. These technologies were made possible through a generous gift by members Ron Blank and Bev Weston.
