Annual Appeal
Play Together, Pray Together, Stay Together
The Congregation Beth Emeth Annual Appeal is the primary fundraising effort of voluntary giving, and provides the single greatest source of non-dues income necessary to ensure the financial health of our community. Our Annual Appeal fundraising goal, to exceed $140,000, will enable CBE to continue to be a warm and welcoming full-service Conservative synagogue. There’s much to come in '22-'23 with the return of many in-person events.
CBE continues to be creative, flexible, and innovative, embracing technology (which is here to stay) to continue to pray, learn, and socialize together. It is only through your generosity (donations large and small) that we are able to achieve our missions of spiritual fulfillment, cultural enrichment, exceptional educational programming, and transformation of the way we experience Jewish life.
Todah Rabah & Thank You for Your Generous Donations!
From President Ellyn Hirsch
The High Holidays are a time when we create new spiritual beginnings. Each year during this time of reflection and renewal, we ask you to renew your commitment to our Beth Emeth community by supporting our Annual Appeal campaign. As you know, dues and fees only cover a portion of our operating expenses every year. We depend upon your generous contributions and fundraising activities to cover approximately 10% of our operating costs annually. Every dollar raised is critical to our continued success. This helps us provide the spiritual, educational, and social experiences you’ve come to know, and makes it possible for all of us to celebrate our Jewish beliefs, heritage, and values together.
We are grateful to everyone, both within our synagogue membership and beyond our walls, who contribute to the Annual Appeal, affirming the importance our community places on Jewish tradition, principles, and continuity. Our overall annual fundraising goal this year is $180,000, of which our Annual Appeal goal is $140,000. I sincerely hope that each of you give at a level that makes you comfortable and makes Beth Emeth your charity of choice. Every single dollar counts. Help us reach our goals and have a successful 5783 here at Beth Emeth!
This year we celebrate our community in the new year with new beginnings.
Ellyn
