Collect a donation for my sanctuary from everyone whose heart so moves them.
— Exodus 25:2Our congregation is stronger and our community is thriving because of your financial support. TBZ provides meaningful and lovely Shabbat services, joy-filled holidays and celebrations, inspiring classes, engaging Beit Rabban (after-school education) and family programs, impactful tikkun olam (healing the world) initiatives, mindful meditations, dedicated staff, and magnificent rabbis who are committed to living, loving, and learning Torah, and to helping us deepen our engagement with each other and the world.
Our annual membership dues cover only 56% of our expenses. We need your generosity in order to meet our day-to-day expenses and sustain our dedication to the ideal that no one will be turned away due to financial circumstances.
Donations provide for our day-to-day operations in support of our mission of being an independent, inclusive Jewish congregation whose members of all ages are committed to each other, to joyful participatory worship, to meaningful Jewish learning, spiritual growth, and acts of social justice.
Please make a gift that is personally meaningful to you. No gift is too large or too small; each dollar helps us meet our annual fundraising goal.
TBZ only exists because of the spirit, commitment, and generosity of people like you. We are grateful for your financial support. Thank you for helping us continue to grow and be a Jewish community for us all.
