We are seeking sponsors for this event to help launch a vital capital campaign. We are committed to building a lift to provide full handicap accessibility to both the Synagogue Level and the Vestry Level.

The estimated cost for this critical project is upwards of $300,000. Your sponsorship helps ensure our synagogue is truly welcoming and accessible to current and future members of our community.

Please consider partnering with us at one of the following Jewish-themed sponsorship levels:

  • Chai (Life): $180 – Traditional amount symbolizing life and vitality.
  • Tzedek (Justice): $360 – Reflects the ethical imperative of accessible justice.
  • B’nai Torah (Children of the Torah): $720 – Supports access to Jewish learning and prayer.
  • Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World): $1,800 – Embodies the mission to actively improve our world and space.
  • Kodesh (Sacred): $5,400+ – A foundational gift to sanctify our space through inclusion.
