Tzedakah - Giving to BJ
BJ is a synagogue that stands for something — for a Judaism that is personally meaningful and relevant. But it is more than that. BJ also stands for the proposition that the synagogue must be relevant and meaningful not just to each of us as individuals but to the larger Jewish world and to the world at large.
In order for 2,000 people to pray here each week with deep intention, connection, and joy, to run a homeless shelter and lunch program, to organize members to visit the sick and comfort mourners, and to provide teachers for our children, classes for adults, and much, much more, we need a complex infrastructure. This includes our rabbis, hazzan, musicians, professional staff, and a multi-space campus including several buildings critical to making BJ the special and unique place that it is to you.
How much does it cost to support this infrastructure? This year, $6 million. Membership dues and money raised through the Kol Nidre Annual Partnership Appeal only represent two-thirds of BJ's budget. The remainder is raised through a variety of opportunities available throughout the year that exist to support the congregation and fund programs that benefit the BJ community.
We are most grateful for your support.
