DONATIONS

We appreciate you being a part of our community, partnering with us and supporting our work as a vibrant, inclusive and loving Jewish community. Your investment in Congregation Etz Chaim makes a tremendous difference in the lives of the many people we touch. 

To make payments or donations, we offer both an online and paper option:

MANNA CARDS

Manna cards are gift certificates from nearly every business or restaurant you frequent with a portion donated to Congregation Etz Chaim. 

Manna cards are sold in the CEC lobby during Sunday School.

DEDICATIONS

Oneg (Dessert), Bagel Breakfast, or Coffee Bar Sponsorships:
If you or a loved one are celebrating a birthday or major life moment, just because, or even on behalf of a business, consider the honor of sponsoring one of our weekly oneg (joy) for Shabbat, Sunday morning Bagel Breakfast, or one month of coffee bar use.

Contribute as little as $18 to co-sponsor and as much as $360 to solo-sponsor (or $120 for the coffee bar).

SPONSOR/DEDICATE A PRAYERBOOK

Your gift to the prayerbook fund helps maintain siddurim (prayer books for weekly Shabbat services) and machzorim (prayer books for annual High Holy Day services).
Prayer books may be dedicated at any time. Bookplates will be installed through the year. Single dedication $50.00 and shared dedication are $25.00 each.

MEMORIAL PLAQUE

Install a cast bronze plaque on our wall in memory of a loved one. The cost is $270. Please contact the office for more details.
