Donations to Congregation Beth Shalom are always gratefully accepted. Our membership dues cover only a portion of the annual expenses, not the full costs of running a synagogue. Additional contributions are always needed to help keep our activities and services going.

Donations to synagogue programs can be a meaningful way to congratulate friends on simchas or show you care in time of sorrow. When you make a gift for some special purpose such as honoring a happy occasion, offering appreciation or good wishes, or remembering a deceased friend or relative, a card is sent to the recipient family and your gift is acknowledged in the Kol Shalom, our monthly newsletter.

When you donate, you may designate that your gift go to the synagogue's general fund or to one of the other existing named funds (listed below). Or you may choose some other expression such as buying the flowers for a service or sponsoring some particular event like an oneg, kiddush, movie, or the like. You could even establish your own named fund!  Just call the office (302 654 4462) and we'll work with you to make it happen!
