Annual Appeal

Temple Sinai depends on its Annual Appeal and the Chai Society to raise $60,000 to enhance temple life beyond the core services that dues cover. We hope to have 100% participation in our Annual Appeal and Chai Society campaigns. Whether you give $18 or a Chai Society gift we value our members equally and appreciate your support.

Why do we need your donations and your participation?

  • We give Dues Abatement to those who need it so that lack of money is not a barrier to membership. Dues Abatement costs Temple Sinai $70,000 per year. 

  • We think that Religious School is a basic function of a synagogue, and we don’t charge tuition. The congregation has committed to pay the costs of the Director, teachers and materials for Religious School and Temple Sinai needs your help to do that.

  • We want to provide a joyous and rewarding experience for our members. The Annual Appeal provides the resources needed for enhanced programming for the entire community.

Please give generously this year! We count on you!

Chai Society

We value every gift. A few congregants are able to make significantly larger gifts to Temple Sinai. We all appreciate and enjoy the community enhancements that these larger gifts provide. A Chai Society gift is any gift to Temple Sinai of $1800 or more in a given calendar year. This is cumulative. If you have already made donations this year, they count toward that $1800 gift. If you want to know how much you have given so far contact the Executive Director and she will let you know how much you still need to give to join the Chai Society this year.

A gift of $5000 will make you a Platinum Chai Society member for this year.
