THE TEMPLE EMANU-EL ANNUAL FUND

You are an important and integral partner with the Temple when making a generous commitment to the Annual Fund which will help propel our Congregation forward in the year ahead.

Your Annual Fund donation is a personal investment that ensures the Temple’s vitality and ability to meet the needs of our diverse membership for Clergy pastoral care, life cycle celebrations, Lifelong Jewish Learning, Early Learning Center, Religious School, Bnai Mitzvah, Confirmation programs, Adult programs, Leadership Development, Community Relations as well as special programs of Jewish culture, Israel, and much more.

We value your membership and personal commitment to Temple Emanu-El, which makes all our programs and activities possible.  Your dues are an important source of revenue which enables Temple Emanu-El to meet our sacred mission as a vibrant center of Jewish life.

However, dues and fees alone are not sufficient for the Temple to maintain our commitment to excellence, growth, and vitality as the leading Reform congregation in New Jersey.  

The “gap” between revenue and expenses each year requires us to raise unrestricted funds from our members.   We ask each congregant to consider a generous contribution to the Temple’s Annual Fund to remain a dynamic congregation.

Members who make an Annual Fund donation can pay their commitment in full at the time of making a gift or can be billed monthly with full payment expected on or before June 30th each year.
