Help Us Celebrate and Sustain Jewish Life at Temple Israel

Sponsors Help Promote Our Cultural and Religious Traditions

Sponsorship is a meaningful way to support the vibrant life of Temple Israel. Through generous sponsorships, we can offer beloved programs such as Friday night Shabbat dinners, Saturday Kiddush lunches, and joyful holiday celebrations that bring our community together and strengthen our shared traditions.

Thanks to our generous sponsors last fiscal year, we were able to provide:  A community breakfast at the conclusion of Yom Kippur services, beautiful High Holiday flowers on the Bima during the High Holidays, delicious apples and honey gifts for the congregation at Rosh Hashanah, fun nosh and a Klezmer band at Simchat Torah, a festive Chanukah Friday night dinner and Sunday evening party, Mishloach Manot gift bags and an exciting Purim celebration, Kabbalat Shabbat Friday night dinners, and Saturday Shabbat Kiddush lunches.  

We gratefully thank last year’s sponsors:  Noah and Sherri Bednowitz, Ruth Chevion, Ken Cohn, Liat Fox-Drach and Shai Drach, Olga and Sam Fein, Bob Hutter, Morgan and Peter Hallock, Michelle Rosenthal and Jeff Klein (of blessed memory), Heidi and Mike Miller, Carol Pressman, Aida Koocher, Christy Aberg and Josh Nathan, Harry Shepler, Robert Singer, Linda Kropp-Sinkow and Lee Sinkow, Rebecca and David Sky, Carol and Robert Sternberg, Joy and Michael Sydney, Sara and Ian Warner, Amy and Mitchell Weinberg.

There are continued opportunities to sponsor in 2025–2026. Honor, celebrate, or remember a loved one by sponsoring one of our upcoming programs or services. While the total cost of each sponsorship opportunity is listed, partial contributions are also greatly appreciated. Every dollar counts in supporting our vibrant community programming and helps make these cherished events possible.
