Ways to Give

B'Yachad (Together!)

B'yachad main banner

We have launched a new fundraising approach to support and sustain Beth Emet Synagogue. With deep gratitude to those who have already donated for your support and commitment to this vibrant community; you may see your name on the B’Yachad donor wall. For those of you who have not yet donated, you have until the end of March to give here and take advantage of our matching gift opportunities to double your impact: 

  • If you gave to the Mitzvah Appeal two Decembers ago and give twice as much or more, the doubled amount will be matched dollar-for-dollar. If you are unsure of what you gave to the Mitzvah Appeal previously, please reach out to our Treasurer, Adam Stock at Adam.Stock@TNLPG.com
  • If you did not contribute to the Mitzvah Appeal last year, your entire donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

We encourage everyone to participate and give a meaningful amount for you.
