Circle of Giving
In 2003, 120 Temple Beth Sholom families created the Circle of Giving to ensure the financial stability of our temple and guarantee the inclusiveness of our programs. Circle of Giving recognizes full-time, full dues paying members who give an additional contribution of $250 or more through their Annual Commitment to Temple Beth Sholom.
- If you are a combined Temple member and full-pay tuition family of the Innovative School of Temple Beth Sholom, you are welcome to join the Circle of Giving with a contribution of $750 or more annually.
We warmly invite you to join or renew your participation in the Circle of Giving at any time throughout the year, most conveniently when completing your Annual Commitment form. Please note that donations to other Temple funds, although greatly appreciated, do not contribute to Circle of Giving membership.
The impact of your support is critical to the well-being of our community, including:
- Supporting older adults on fixed incomes who cannot pay full dues
- Helping individuals and families experiencing financial hardship
- Allowing us to retain the finest clergy, staff, and teachers
- Allows our building to remain a beautiful and welcoming Jewish space for all
