- The opportunity to provide inspirational worship
Your gifts to TBI are a wonderful way to celebrate lifecycle milestones, honor a special occasion, express sympathy, remember a loved one, or simply to say thank you! Your thoughtfulness will be acknowledged with a tribute card to the honoree(s) informing them that you have made a tribute gift to our synagogue.
We welcome gifts of any size, whether one-time gifts or monthly donations. Your generosity and kindness will help ensure that we meet the needs of our community now and in generations to come.
