Temple Funds

WISE TEMPLE

Rests on a solid foundation of worship, 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.
