Annual Giving

Our Annual Giving campaign bridges the gap between the revenue from Temple dues, tuition and various fees, and our expenses to run Temple operations on a day-to-day basis. It offsets ongoing and unexpected expenses and is vital to reaching our budgetary goals which enable us to maintain the high quality programs and services that have been central to the tradition of our congregation.

A Place for Purpose Capital Campaign

TBJ is at an historic moment; nearly 180 years strong and building for the next 180 by celebrating our past accomplishments and investing in a robust and sustainable future. Our vision is to continue to meet the need for meaning and belonging in our community and to be a leader in the Reform movement in the wider Jewish world. To achieve these goals, TBJ has embarked on a $12.5 million fundraising campaign to renovate key spaces and ensure our sustainable future. A Place for Purpose Campaign will significantly enhance critical components of the TBJ experience, from our student communities to the sustainability of our infrastructure to our financial security. These foundational initiatives we have planned will allow us to be well positioned for the next 180+ years.

Tributes

Celebrate a friend or family, honor those who have passed, or simply say thank you by sending a tribute. When you make a Tribute we will send an acknowledgment to the member, family or friend you designate. Your donation ($10 minimum) also will be listed in our monthly email to the congregation.

High Holy Day Prayer Book Dedication

A book plate will be added to one set of prayer books, which includes one book for Rosh Hashanah and one book for Yom Kippur.

TBJ Israel Fund

TBJ is steadfast in our commitment to Israel and our brothers and sisters in our homeland. New this year is an opportunity to directly support non-political, humanitarian organizations whose work has a direct impact in Israel. The TBJ Israel Fund which will aid groups such as Hatzalah, provide direct support for soldiers’ needs, bolster educational efforts, and strengthen our Reform Movement partners. A committee will be formed to guide the allocation of these funds. We are grateful for our congregation’s steadfast commitment to Israel and appreciate your partnership in this meaningful initiative.  Beginning this year, and similar to Women’s Association and Brotherhood, we have included a $36 opt-out contribution toward the fund.

Legacy Society

The TBJ Legacy Society (Endowment Fund) has been established to fortify the future of TBJ. TBJ is thriving in part because of the investment that members of the community have made over the last 175+ years. One can make an investment in TBJ’S future by including Congregation B’nai Jeshurun in their estate plans.
