Thank you for considering donating to Temple Beth Or. Typically dues only pay for about 50% of a synagogues ongoing costs.  Here are the following needs we currently have:  ongoing operating costs (website, newsletter, oneg Shabbat); cost for ongoing classes, including the Rabbi's preparation time; donate to our awesome musicians; or a chesed (lovingkindness) fund for those in need.  For opportunities to donate, please see our Tzedakah page.  Why donate?  Ahhh - it's "good karma,"  or in Jewish terminology (middah keneged middah).  If you've been blessed, pay it forward.   

SIDDURIM:  40 Prayersbooks are available for inscriptions.  Purchase a siddur and having it dedicated to a love one who has passed on, or in honor of someone, or just for your own use.  What a mitzvah!  A label with your preferred inscription will be placedinside the front cover of your Siddur.  The cost is triple chai (18 x 3 = $54).  Why $18?  Every Hebrew letter is also a number.  The Hebrew letters Chet  and Yod add up to 18 and Chai means life.  חי  Chai  Donations are often done in multiples of 18, meaning that when we give tzedaka (charity), we are giving life.   

NOTE: If your situation requires a dues level different from the minimum above amounts, please contact Don Kurzman (Ombudsman) at 775-852-4504.
Complete confidentiality will apply.
