Donate OnlineYahrzeit/Memorial Plaques
Honor and remember a loved one with a memorial plaque while supporting Temple Israel. Plaques may be ordered for either the Alice G. Winn Memorial Menorah, located along the rear wall of the Sanctuary, or the Harry N. and Estelle S. Gorin Memorial Alcove, located outside the entrance doors to the Sanctuary. The name of the deceased will be read on Friday evening and Saturday morning of the yahrzeit (anniversary of death) and family members will receive a notification in advance. A contribution of $650 to the Temple Israel Endowment Fund will secure a plaque in either the Alcove or on the Menorah. For further information, please call Emma Savitz at 617-566-3960.
Ner Tamid Legacy Gifts
Legacy gifts provide the foundation for Temple Israel’s work. Our Ner Tamid Society celebrates all who commit to making Temple Israel part of their estate plans. By making Temple Israel a beneficiary of your estate, at any level, you can help secure our place as a visible, connected, and valued influence within the broader community, so that we may continue to be the Jewish hub of The Hub.
