Support TBT Through Tzedakah
The Jewish community thrives on the sacred value of tzedakah—righteous giving. Every Jew is called to support their community in many ways, but generous financial contributions from people like you sustain our sacred work.
At Temple B’nai Torah (TBT), membership pledges cover less than 40% of our budget. We rely on tzedakah to strengthen our community, grow for the future, and serve generations to come.
Every gift, large or small, makes a meaningful impact when we come together in the spirit of giving.
Donate to a Specific Fund
Your donation can be directed to an area you’re passionate about:
- General Fund – The backbone of TBT, the General Fund sustains our daily operations and vibrant community. Your gift supports everything—from clergy and worship to programs, community events, Religious School, security, and the care of our sacred space.
- Rabbi’s Discretionary Fund – A gift to this fund is a meaningful way to thank our rabbis for their support—whether through pastoral care, life cycle events, or spiritual guidance. It enables them to assist those in need, support special programs, and invest in initiatives that strengthen our community. Your donation empowers our clergy to respond with compassion where it’s needed most.
- Remembrance Fund – Honor the memory of a loved one through a donation in their name.
- Music Fund – Enhance our musical programming and worship experiences.
- Oneg & Kiddush Fund – Help us keep our post-service gatherings welcoming for all! Every Friday, we provide a sweet Oneg with cookies after the service, and on Saturdays, we host a Kiddush lunch following Religious School and our Shabbat service. Your support ensures these meaningful moments of connection remain open to everyone.
- Adult Learning, Mitzvah Corps, & Social Action – Support education, social justice efforts, and mitzvah projects.
- Camp Scholarships & Youth Programs – Ensure every child can participate in Jewish experiences by donating to the Norm Greenbaum Campership Fund.
- Landscaping & Grounds Fund – Contribute to the beauty and upkeep of our sacred space by donating to the Meltzer Newby Landscape Fund.
Support Our Annual Fundraisers
In addition to direct donations, each year we hold two major fundraisers:
- The Annual Fall Campaign – A vital part of our budget, ensuring TBT’s continued strength.
- The Annual Spring Fundraiser – A community celebration that raises essential funds.
These fundraisers help sustain our programs, services, and the welcoming community we cherish.
Join our Patron Circle
We encourage those with the means to exceed the suggested dues to contribute beyond the target, ensuring that we can continue to welcome and support those who may not be able to meet the full financial commitment. Members who give $3,600 or more annually are welcomed into our esteemed Patron Circle, a group whose extraordinary generosity forms the financial foundation of our synagogue. The contributions of Patron Circle members enable us to sustain our mission, offer meaningful programs, and create an inclusive space for all.
Other Ways to Contribute
In addition to Jewish giving, TBT depends on a diverse group of wonderful and invaluable volunteers. Working hand-in-hand with our small but mighty professional staff, volunteers at TBT co-create all aspects of Jewish life at TBT. If you would like information on volunteering please contact us.
