Endowment Fund
Honouring Our Traditions, Cherishing The Present, Securing Our Future
Create a legacy that inspires learning
Education is the foundation of jewish life. Monies from the Endowment Fund will help to strengthen this foundation by providing Temple Sholom with an opportunity to enhance and expand the educational opportunities currently covered by the synagogue's annual operating budget. Theses opportunities include granting educational scholarships, subsidizing rabbinical and cantorial students from our congregation, attracting scholars-in- residence from around the world, and enriching professional development for our teaching staff.
Create a legacy that builds community
According to the Talmud, we are all responsible for one another. With this in mind, the Temple Sholom Endowment Fund will be used to provide critical assistance for individuals from our synagogue family, as well as from the greater Jewish community. In addition to supporting those in crisis and reaching out to our aging population, there will be times when it becomes necessary to draw upon the fund for special capital projects, emergency needs, and other extraordinary situations which affect our building, our members and the Jewish people.
Create a legacy that protects Israel
A strong Israel is vital to the security and wellbeing of Jews everywhere. A Temple Sholom, we cherish our ties to this precious country and recognize the benefits of nourishing close connections to the people and places of our homeland. Whether we are called upon to finance emergency projects, sustain educational institutions, or provide scholarships for travel and study programs, the Endowment Fund will ensure that our congregation is always there to support Eretz Yisrael.
Create a legacy that lives forever
The Temple Sholom Endowment Fund is professionally and securely invested to ensure financial growth and continuity. The principal amount of the Fund will remain untouched, generating resource which can be used far into the future. Charitable donations to the fund signify an enduring commitment to the perpetuation of key Jewish values. With your gift, you will reach out beyond your lifetime to help sustain Eretz Yisrael, the community of tikkun olam, a repairing of the world.
