Sustaining Membership
What is a Sustaining Member?
Sustaining Membership ensures the ongoing strength and resiliency of the temple and its mission, giving above and beyond traditional congregational commitment. Sustaining Members sustain Temple Beth El!
Where are the additional funds used?
Contributions provide the synagogue with a dependable base of revenue to sustain the programs, education, worship, clergy services and pastoral care upon which our community relies. These funds will help ensure that no family is turned away, that no child is denied a religious school education, and that in times of great need we may assist those who require our help.
Temple Beth El has thrived for over half a century thanks to loyal support from our Sustaining Members.
This commitment helps to protect the future of our synagogue for our children and our children’s children.
You can!
If you are not already a member of Temple Beth El, register as a Sustaining Member. If you are already a member of Temple Beth El and would like to become a Sustaining Member, contact Derek Hurwitch, Director of Development at 561-314-2836.
What are the benefits of becoming a Sustaining Member?
By making this gracious commitment, you will receive many additional benefits and perks based on your level of Sustaining Membership. All Sustaining Members are listed on the Susan & Barry Podolsky Community Recognition Wall at the Schaefer Family Campus, and will receive an invitation to a special donor recognition event. Additional benefits include complimentary tribute cards*, cantorial concerts tickets, Blue Jeans Shabbat tickets and Guest of Member High Holy Day Tickets, depending on your level of commitment.
