giving to b'nai Israel
There are several ways to give to B’nai Israel, including donating to one of our many funds and endowments, contributing to our Hineini Annual Campaign, creating an endowment fund, or purchasing a plaque to celebrate a life event or memorialize a loved one. Each of your gifts, regardless of size, is received with heartfelt gratitude, as we recognize that your generosity is essential to sustaining B’nai Israel.

ways of giving
Traditional Donation
You may choose to direct your gift toward one of our many funds and endowments, either in honor of a person or event, or in memory of a deceased loved one.
Hineini Campaign
Your Hineini Campaign gift will be directly and immediately applied toward B’nai Israel’s operating costs.
Legacy Giving
Establishing an Endowment Fund at B’nai Israel serves to strengthen and sustain Judaism in our community for our children, grandchildren and future generations.
Memorials/Plaques
Plaques are tangible options for remembering your family’s celebrations and bereavements while also supporting B’nai Israel Congregation.
Create a Jewish Legacy
Include B’nai Israel in your estate planning as a beneficiary in your will, under your retirement plan or life insurance policy. It carries no financial obligation in the present, but it will have a huge and lasting impact on the future of B’nai Israel.
