Commemorate an Event – Nediv Lev/”a willing heart”

Jewish community members often mark life’s events through the Torah’s injunction to give to others and support community from “a willing heart” (Exodus 25:1-2).

Donations can be made in honor of someone special; for life cycle occasions such as a Bar, Bat or B’nei Mitzvah, wedding, new children, graduations; as an act of tzedekah or commitment to social justice (Tikkun Olam);  in memory of your loved one following a loss or to mark a Yarzheit anniversary; for #GivingTuesday, to mark special events, End-of-Year donations, gratitude for community members, or when you are moved to help our synagogue grow and offer vital services and programs. We are grateful to you!

Sponsor an Oneg Shabbat

If you would like to sponsor an Oneg or bring challah on a Friday night or other service, please contact the office at beitahavah@gmail.com.


Participate!

One of the best forms of support is to simply be a part of it and give of yourself.  Attend services, bring the little ones to a Tot Shabbat, bring the whole family to special events, join an adult discussion, introduce yourself to new faces, attend a Shivah, drop off food, invite someone over for a Shabbat potluck or conversation, see how many generations you can get at one table, plan an event, share your ideas, join the Board or a committee.  Thank you for making Beit Ahavah a community.
