Help Beth Am Thrive

Making a donation to Beth Am is a meaningful way to help our sacred community carry out the values that are important to you and your family. While contributions for Annual Membership provide the bulk of our operating funds, gifts above and beyond membership fill in the gap and ensure that our congregation continues to serve as a resource for lifelong Jewish education, meaningful and innovative worship opportunities, social action initiatives, and a community of people who care about you.

The generosity of our members makes it possible for Beth Am to provide these opportunities for all who seek them, regardless of their financial circumstances.

There are a number of different ways and occasions to give to Beth Am, including:

Annual Campaign
Legacy Giving
Special Funds
Car Donations
