Support Temple Sholom
A donation to Temple Sholom is a wonderfully appropriate way to celebrate a life cycle event, to honor or commemorate the life of a loved one, or simply to acknowledge and express appreciation for the benefits Temple Sholom brings to your life.
Our synagogue has a variety of Tribute and Donation Funds providing ways to support the congregation at all different levels. Members can dedicate a leaf on the Tree of Life, a Yahrzeit Memorial Plaque, a prayer book, or donate to support our nursery and religious schools.
There are opportunities throughout the year to sponsor a Kiddush or a favorite Temple Sholom program (such as a lecture series, special program, and performing Jewish artists), or you may also choose to make a contribution to any of the funds listed below.
Donations can be made through the button below or by check may be mailed to Temple Sholom, 300 East Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830, Attn. Lori Baden. Please indicate in the memo section of the check to which fund(s) you would like your donation allocated. If you would like more information about contributing to Temple Sholom, or would like to make a donation by credit card, please contact Lori Baden, 203-542-7155.
