No synagogue survives on memberships alone. We rely on donations - continuing or one-time - to continue to provide services to the community, and to keep our doors open.

Please consider contributing to the synagogue.

• You can send a check made out to Temple Beth Israel to P.O. Box 421186, Los Angeles, CA 90042. This way every cent of your contribution goes to us.

• Click on the Donate button to use your credit card over PayPal's secure servers. A secure PayPal page will come up. If you want to use your credit card, click in the lower left corner of the screen where it says "Don't have a PayPal account? Use your credit card or bank account (where available)."
  
  
  
• If you want to contribute to a special fund, or in honor of a person or event, or if you want to purchase a memorial board plaque, kiddush dedication, or prayerbook dedication, add a note to us on the PayPal page.
   
• Contributions go into our General Fund unless you request otherwise. The General Fund is used for operating expenses, building maintenance, and the like.
   
• The Rabbi Fund is used to help pay the salary of our Rabbinic Intern. If you're a big fan of our Rabbinic Intern, and many people are, please consider contributing to this fund.
   
• The Torah Fund will be used to repair our Torah scrolls. We have consulted with prominent local soferim, and repairs are needed.
   
• The Education Fund is used to help our growing and blossoming education effort.
   
• For $200, you can purchase a memorial board plaque for a loved one who has died. We will include their name in our Kaddish prayers  on the anniversary of their death, and in our Yizkor prayers four times a year.  If you select this option, please include the person's English name, Hebrew or Yiddish name, and date of death. If you're not sure how to handle the Hebrew name, give us a call or an email and we can help out.
   
• For $50 or more, you can sponsor a kiddush luncheon on a Saturday. If you select this option, please tell us the occasion that you want to honor - a graduation or birthday, let's say - or the person you want to honor or remember.
   
• We offer the opportunity to have dedication bookplates glued into our prayerbooks. We use the books every week, rain or shine. A prayerbook dedication costs twice chai. Chai means life in Hebrew, and its numerical value is 18, so each dedication is $36.00. Our previous prayerbooks lasted well over 50 years, so your dedication will be seen by congregants for many years to come.
   
• Don't think you have to wait for a special occasion! We accept donations large or small, at any time! If you want us to send a card to an honoree, let us know the name and address and the wording - for example, "In honor of Sarah on her Bat Mitzvah." Or, "I'm sending you money because you're just so great!"
