Donations

Donations

Donations can be made in honor of a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary or in memory of a loved one. KI has many special funds as well as general funds from which to choose. Your donation can be put towards what resonates for you, your loved one or your family.

 

You may either make a single donation to the general fund or choose a specific fund.

 

But, why donate?

Congregation Keneseth Israel is committed to being a vibrant, strong Reform Jewish presence in the Lehigh Valley for generations to come, building on what previous generations have created. We have spirit, enthusiasm, dedication and we are not afraid of hard work. But we also need money to operate. Maybe you don’t have a child in our Jewish Education Program, but someone else does, and maybe others contributed to the synagogue when your child was in school. Perhaps you needed a Rabbi because a beloved parent suddenly died. This is why we ask for funds; we want to be here for you, for others and for those not yet here.

 

Thank you for your consideration and support.

 

Contributions to any fund are tax-deductible.
