We all know that
Temple Sinai needs your support to do its work for the Reform Jewish
community. Here are some of the ways you can help:
-
Volunteer: First and foremost,
by making a gift of your valuable time you can make an enormous
difference. The Temple always needs extra hands, whether it's to
usher at services, decorate for the holidays, serve on a committee,
or help others on an individual basis. Our community is composed of
you, its people. Check out the links at the left and you're certain
to find something you can do.
-
Dues:
Paying your dues on time is the most obvious way to support the
Temple. Not only does it enable us to pay our expenses in a timely
fashion, but it lets us budget in a more realistic way.
-
Building
Campaign Pledges: The renovated building is a rousing success,
greatly admired by everyone who has seen it; but the work didn't end
on rededication weekend. In order to complete our financial work, we
need those pledge dollars to become real dollars.
Simply by pre-paying your pledge, you can
increase its value! The Temple can benefit from the
interest that we save on the construction loans, and the numbers
would surprise you. Just by paying off your complete pledge, rather
than doing it month by month, you can make a big difference.
-
Special
funds and campaigns: There are several separate funds set up for
specific purposes, such as the Rabbi's Discretionary Fund.
-
Gifts of
Listed Securities: You can save on your taxes in two ways by
donating appreciated securities to the Temple. Neither you nor the
Temple has to pay capital gains on the securities, yet you still can
count the current market value of the securities as your charitable
donation. Contact the Temple office or our
Vice President of Investments for more information.
-
Shopping:
We all buy things, whether it's candles for the menorah, gifts
for the Bar or Bat Mitzvah, or clothing and housewares for yourself.
You can do your shopping and direct a portion of your
purchases to the Temple — just check out our
shopping page.
-
Entertainment Books: The
popular Entertainment Book of discount coupons is available
from the office. New editions are available starting in August.
