Our membership dues are modest and cover only basic expenses. Your additional gifts enable us to provide engaging programs for you and the Community:

• The Education Fund covers the cost of study and learning materials for people furthering their Jewish education.

• The Events Fund covers the cost of cultural and holiday celebrations, visiting scholars and educators.

• The Kiddush Fund subsidizes meals after religious services. Sponsoring a kiddush has long been a traditional way for people to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, to commemorate yahrzeits and other important times.

• The Music Fund supports musicians and singers who enrich our services, community celebrations, and events.

• The Tzedakah Fund provides monetary assistance to needy Jewish and non-Jewish residents of our region. Tzedakah offers a lifeline for countless people and is a moral, ethical and religious obligation.

• The Building/General Fund covers needed renovations, maintenance, and infrastructure.

• The Cemetery Fund covers the expenses of providing a Jewish burial to members who lack the funds.
