Following
is a list of all temple funds:
ADULT
EDUCATION FUND:
This
fund was started by two congregants who felt strongly about the need for adult
education programs.
Monies donated to this fund help to offset the cost of speakers and/or to
expand these programs.
BEAUTIFICATION
FUND:
Donations
to this fund are used to purchase plantings and minor decorative additions to
the building.
CANTORIAL
SOLOIST’S DISCRETIONARY FUND:
To be used at the cantorial soloist’s discretion.
GENERAL
FUND
Monies donated to this fund are used to support temple business operations or
other activities.
JOE
MARKIND MUSIC FUND:
Joe Markind was B’nai Torah’s first steady cantorial soloist and served for
about 14 years. He officiated at B’nai Mitzvahs, weddings, and funerals before
the temple hired its first rabbi. He
was the temple members’ “conscience,” as well as their religious
professional. He conducted services
on Friday nights and holidays along with ritual chairpeople. This fund is set up
for the purchase and maintenance of anything musical that the congregation
needs.
LIBRARY
FUND:
Fund contributions are used to purchase books to be circulated among members and
for reference books.
LOUISA
MUNZER EDUCATION FUND:
Louisa Munzer was a well-loved B’nai Mitzvah tutor for many B’nai Torah
children. She taught with the goal that these children identify with Judaism
well beyond their B’nai Mitzvah. In fact, she donated all the fees that she
received from her tutoring to Hadassah’s Youth Aliya to support educational
programs and shelters for the underprivileged children in Israel. A Holocaust
survivor, she also lectured often about that terrible time. Monies donated to
this fund are use for educating the youth and adults of B’nai Torah about the
Holocaust and our Jewish heritage.
PRAYER
BOOK FUND:
Monies donated to this fund are used to purchase new prayer books.
RABBI’S
DISCRETIONARY FUND:
To be used at the rabbi’s discretion.
SCHOOL
FUND:
This fund was established for the purchase of extracurricular equipment and
activities related to the temple’s religious school.
RITUAL
FUND:
Donations
to this fund are used to purchase items related to the ritual function of the
temple.
TZEDAKAH FUND:
Monies donated to this fund are used to
support groups in urgent need of help or for special projects that would benefit
publicly from receiving community support.
ZEV
HEILMAN SCHOLARSHIP FUND:
The Zev Heilman Scholarship Fund was established to provide an ongoing
scholarship program to perpetuate Zev Heilman’s life goals of teaching
Judaism. This fund provides an annual scholarship, which is intended to provide
high school students who seek to understand their Judaism with an opportunity to
do so in an active and participatory way.
