Support the B'nai Israel Annual Campaign

Every year our members and visitors make Yom Kippur and Annual Campaign pledges of financial support. These pledges are crucial to the synagogue's sustainability. This year, your donations are even more important. We hope that we can count on each of you to match what you gave last year, and increase your donation where you can. We thank you in advance for your dedication to our historic synagogue.
