Each year at this time, we ask that you extend your generosity to assure the continued wellbeing of Temple Beth Tikvah by making a donation to our Annual Fund.
TBT’s mission is to be a vibrant, inclusive Reform Jewish community. To fulfill that mission and include all area families seeking a Jewish home at TBT, we must come together to support our synagogue. The full cost of running TBT is approximately $2,900 per member household. The Annual Fund provides essential support for the day-today operations of our synagogue, critical resources to help offset further increases in our dues, and support for Jews who live in our area but who otherwise could not be a part of our family.
Thanks to your generosity in 5779 (last year), over one-third of our member households contributed over $75,000 with donations ranging from $10,000 to $18. If we increase our participation to even one-half of our member households, the synagogue and the shoreline Jewish community will greatly benefit from your generosity. Please join me in that effort.
Every contribution makes a difference to the financial health of our synagogue.
Please make your contribution to the 5780 TBT Annual Fund in an amount that is both meaningful and possible for you; every gift matters, regardless of size. The Torah reminds us each to give according to our ability. If you can, please consider a donation whether it is $18, $118, $1,800 or more. If you can afford more, please make as generous a donation as is possible for you. A form is enclosed in this Shofar for your convenience. You can also make your donation online at www.tbtshoreline.org.
Remember: All donations to the Annual Fund are tax deductible. Your generosity makes a difference!
Thank you for your dedication to our TBT community and for your gift to the Annual Fund. On behalf of our Board of Directors, myself, and my family, we wish you a sweet, healthy, and productive new year.
G’mar Tov.
