FINANCIAL COMMITMENT INFORMATION

Members make three financial commitments, one for an annual membership contribution, another to the Building Fund - a pledge to support the ongoing maintenance of our building, lastly the Security Fee - to maintain the utmost possible safe environment during worship and programming. Temple Beth El Staff and Board of Trustees never want finances to be a barrier to synagogue affiliation. Our director of community engagement will review these financial commitments with you.
