Our Shehecheyanu Banner
We are doing our best to make it easy for all of us to support the work of our community. Together, we are learning to take greater responsibility for our shared spiritual journey. We are deeply grateful for your support in all areas of our community life.
How can I support Bet Alef?
We ask members and non-members to support our community in other special ways because Membership Dues alone are not sufficient for any synagogue to cover the entire budget. Bet Alef is very careful in our spending, but there are considerable expenses involved in maintaining and growing our Jewish spiritual community. We are able to operate without a building fund by renting our facilities, so rental costs are a substantial part of our budget. We seek to acknowledge the special qualities of our rabbi, musicians and office staff with appropriate compensation. Every donation is a greatly appreciated gift and blessing. Please remember that your support and presence are valued regardless of your ability to make a financial contribution. Here are some ways that you can contribute:
Direct Donations
There are many opportunities to donate directly to Bet Alef.
Donations can be made to a General Fund at any time to support the ongoing operations of the synagogue. Donations may also be made to support a particular program which has a special interest or significance to you. Donations to the Music Program are always appreciated. On Friday nights at Shabbat Services, members have the opportunity to sponsor an Oneg and light candles to celebrate a special event with the community. You can find more information about sponsoring an Oneg here.
It is traditional to make donations at times of remembrance, particularly at the yarzheit (anniversary) of the death of a loved one; and for celebrations of birthdays and anniversaries.
Donations can be made by contacting the Bet Alef Office. Donation boxes are also available at Shabbat Services.
