Donations to Named Funds

Temple Sinai offers many ways to contribute to our immediate needs, beyond or in addition to Endowment contributions.  Such donations give you the opportunity to remember or honor a relative or friend with a contribution for a specific purpose.  All contributions are welcome and they are applied to specific purposes.  They are distinguished from dues pledges, which go to the general operating fund, and from Endowment contributions, which ensure our future.

 

ONEG SHABBAT You may sponsor or co-sponsor a reception following Shabbat evening services for any occasion.  The honor of lighting candles is given to the host or hostess. Call the Sisterhood or our administrator, Mary Beth Colgan, at 596-8352.
