High Holy Day Giving Opportunities
We offer you several opportunities for “righteous giving”, all of which benefit our synagogue community and allow us to provide excellent services and programming throughout the year. Orders will be taken until items have been printed. Even if you miss a deadline, donations are always appreciated.
- Honor the memory of your loved ones in the Yizkor Memorial Book. Minimum requested donation is $36 and $9 per name for each name after the first four.
- Add a name of a loved one in need of healing to the program.
- Make a pledge to the High Holy Day Appeal. Pledge cards will be distributed at Kol Nidre services on September 18, 2018, but pledges ahead of time are encouraged. You can also also donate online.
