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 enrichment in 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.
