GIVING

A chance to impact another life, be a leader, leave a legacy, honor or memorialize a loved one, or simply find fulfillment in your own life. When you support your Wise Temple, you engage in sacred, creative, inspiring and challenging efforts that will:

  • enrich your life
  • deepen the Jewish lives of children and adults
  • create a sense of community for each of us
  • support the poor in our community
  • provide leadership nationally and in Israel
  • educate and shape the future

WISE TEMPLE

RESTS ON A SOLID FOUNDATION OF WORSHIP, STUDY, GOOD DEEDS AND COMMUNITY.

Our ancestors laid the cornerstone and many generations have built upon it. Our children and grandchildren will inherit it as a priceless legacy. It is our challenge to preserve and strengthen what past generations have built. Find your best ways to give.
