The Mitzvah of Giving:

Temple Kol Tikvah is supported through a combination of dues, donations, school fees and fundraising programming.

Make a donation

It is a mitzvah to honor someone by sponsoring an Oneg Shabbat (refreshment period after the Shabbat worship service).  Families often do this on the anniversary of a loved one’s death, known as their yahrzeit, or for a special birthday or anniversary.  You may also wish to acknowledge someone’s birthday, anniversary, birth of a new baby, or other special event by making a donation to one of our synagogue funds:

• General Fund
• Scholarship and Dues Assistance Fund
• Rabbi’s Discretionary Fund
• Cantor’s Discretionary Fund and Music Fund
• Preschool Fund
• Religious School Scholarship Fund
• Prayerbook Fund (includes bookplate in prayerbook)

We also urge our members to support organizations outside of our synagogue including:

Yozma Community The Reform congregation of Modi'in, Israel's city of the Future
Mazon
WUPJ World Union for Progressive Judaism
JNF Jewish National Fund
JNF GoNeutral Jewish National Fund GoNeutral
RAC Religious Action Center
WVFP West Valley Food Pantry
COEJL Coalition on the environment and Jewish Life

And every month we designate a special tsedakah project for the month.
