Rabbi Dena Feingold Spiritual Legacy Fund:

Enduring Impact on Congregation and Community

Donate

Donations

In 2014, Beth Hillel Temple eliminated mandatory dues in favor of a highly successful voluntary Member Community Commitment model. Further, we feel it is important to welcome all who wish to participate in our weekly as well as holiday services without requiring membership or tickets.

While annual member support provides an important portion of financial support, donations from members as well as others who have been touched by Beth Hillel are needed to sustain our offerings.

Donors may express appreciation for a specific area of temple life through designating their donation to one of the many unrestricted Temple Funds. Donations may be dedicated in honor of a special occasion such as b’nai mitzvah, weddings, anniversaries or other life cycle events as well as to honor or memorialize beloved family members or friends. Donations of any amount are gratefully appreciated.

Enduring Dedication:

A Way to Honor or Remember Someone Special

At times of celebration as well as times of sorrow, Jewish tradition teaches us that we honor others by giving tzedakah. Beth Hillel Temple. has many meaningful ways to commemorate special occasions such as b’nai mitzvah, weddings, anniversaries or other life cycle events as well as to honor or memorialize beloved family members through lasting dedicatory gifts.

MEMORIAL/YAHRZEIT PLAQUES

Memorial Plaques with the names of the departed are located on our sanctuary walls and in the corridor as you enter the Sanctuary. Each bronze plaque is inscribed with the Hebrew and English name and date of death. Beside each plaque is a memorial light, which is lit annually on the Yahrzeit and Yizkor services.

Dedications for Special Major Purchases and Appeals

Beth Hillel Temple is continuously working to improve our wonderful facility to ensure the building remains physically strong and to enhance its beauty and functionality. Periodically the temple leadership develops a “wish” list of potential renovation projects, desired ritual items, or other needs. Major donors to these initiatives may be honored with a dedication plaque. If you are interested in making a significant donation and would like to learn of the wish list items, please contact the Rabbi or the temple president.
