Members of our Temple Family, motivated by a desire to memorialize or honor those dear to them and, at the same time, interested in providing a service to our Congregation, have established a number of funds. These funds help the Temple maintain many services as well as provide additional programming that are not covered by the Temple regular budget.
Below are listed the funds and the purpose for which each is used. Contributions may be sent to the Temple office and an acknowledgement will be sent promptly to the person or family in whose honor or memory your gift has been made. (There is no mention of the amount contributed.)
If you have questions about any of our Temple Funds, the establishment of a new fund, or the memorialization of a loved one, please contact the Temple President or the Temple office.
