This year has been a time of transition for Beth David. With sadness, we said goodbye to Rabbi Schonbrun and his family, but welcome Rabbi Ohriner, Shoshana, and Aryeh. We’ve weathered stormy economic seas, and worked hard to keep our ship afloat and on course. Your generous contributions to last year’s annual campaign, along with directed donations and helping hands, have enabled Beth David to:
| v Match a grant for building security improvements |
v Retire the cemetery- related mortgage, leaving us debt free! |
v Retain necessary teachers for our Religious School |
| v Hire Cantor Levy for the High Holy Days |
v Install a loop system for hearing-impaired members |
v Fund our Myuchad program for special needs students |
| v Repair the parking lot |
v Purchase new lobby furniture |
v Fund teen scholarships |
| v Purchase exterior storage units |
v Install a new heating/AC system |
v Enjoy a new deluxe- size Sukkah |
| v Paint the building exterior |
v Carpet the lobby and hallway | |
We need your help to keep sailing toward a bright future. The Annual Campaign is critical for Beth David. Typically, it funds 20-25% of our yearly operating budget, enabling the congregation to meet its financial obligations. The money we raise not only pays for core functions such as staff and facilities, but is essential to sustain programming, to support religious school education, and to enable Jews with limited income to become members of Beth David.
I hope you will join us in giving generously to the Annual Campaign. Your support ensures that we will continue the journey to fulfill Beth David’s mission: “to actively transform people’s Jewish lives through prayer, study and community.”
Sincerely yours,
Joanne Cornbleet
