Annual Appeal
Our Annual Appeal is our primary means of support and comes from people just like you who understand the importance of providing for the spiritual, educational, social and pastoral needs of our community. These funds are used to provide Temple Beth El membership scholarship assistance for membership, religious school and preschool.
Many Hands, One Heart
When we come together with love and support, we transform the lives of those in need.
Temple Beth El’s Annual Appeal is the moment when we each offer what we can – where our many hands can perform the heavy lift of seemingly insurmountable obstacles that so many of our members face each and every day.
Torah teaches us that tzedakah is an act of righteousness and compassion – more than just the giving of money, but a sacred responsibility to support others in need and make a positive impact on their lives.
Annual giving at Temple Beth El is a beautiful form of direct support. It’s never “charity from strangers,” but rather “love from neighbors.”
Through your meaningful support of this campaign, you are placing a hand on a vulnerable member's shoulder and saying,
"You're not alone. You matter to us because YOU ARE US. We won't let you fall."

Donate Today
This year, it will take many hands for us to reach our Annual Appeal goal of $500,000 – a milestone that will allow us to provide for more than 500 member households who we know will need our support.
Temple Beth El’s Annual Appeal goes beyond addressing challenges.
Through our many hands, it doesn’t just solve problems… it heals.

L'Shana Tova!
Welcome to High Holy Days at Temple Beth El! We are so excited to celebrate with you.
Rosh HaShanah begins the evening of Wednesday, October 2.
Annual Appeal - The 10 Commitments
As Jews, we are guided by a series of commandments, duties we take upon ourselves that not only enrich our individual lives, but that teach us how to repair all that is broken in our world.
Judaism matters.
The Torah teaches that how we take care of ourselves matters.
And how we take care of each other matters even more.
Temple Beth El is an extended Jewish family – a community where we push each other to live better lives, and where we work tirelessly to care for each other. We belong to this congregation because we are committed to setting a high bar for ourselves, because we want to grow our spirituality, and because we want to ensure we teach our children how vitally important it is that they know and do good.
This year, Temple Beth El looks to uphold a series of commitments, not coincidentally, ten of them. Your generous support of the Annual Appeal allows us to uphold and solidify them.
For us to solidify our ten commitments, there is one commitment needed – Yours.
New This Year!
All Congregational Worship & Family Participation Services will be held at Temple Beth El. Young Children’s Services will be held on Rosh HaShanah at Temple Beth El, and on Yom Kippur at FAU’s Friedberg Auditorium. Click here for more information.
