“Take from among you a gift (terumah) for Adonai; everyone whose heart so moves him shall bring them.” Exodus 35:5
Thank you for your pledge. (Click here to learn more about what Terumah is all about.)
For our Congregational Year 2025-26, the new recommended Terumah is $2,950 per household or $1,800 for a single person household. If you can contribute at this level or higher, please share your blessings to help us reach a balanced budget for the coming year.
If you need to give less, please do so at a level that prioritizes Temple Beth-El so that we can remain financially stable and continue to serve our community. We are particularly grateful to those who are able to join our Benefactor Circle by offering $3,600 or more in Terumah this year.
Every pledge at every level is deeply appreciated.
NEW: To provide for our community’s safety, in these days of uncertainty, it is vital that every member commits to the new $125 annual security surcharge starting July 1, 2025. Security is too important to ignore; protecting our loved ones must come first.

We value having you as part of Temple Beth-El and thank you if you have already set up a recurring credit card payment plan as it makes your membership renewal automatic for each new Congregational year. We still ask you to complete this form below to commit to your pledge for Terumah and Security before the end of June 2025 and remind you that all Terumah pledges and first payment is due on July 1st each year.
This applies whether you created a recurring credit card payment through PayPal or autopay Terumah via check through your bank.
If you are increasing the amount of your annual pledge to help us offset our increasing financial needs as well as help us offer services to those who are less fortunate, please note the following:
*Did you remember? Security is too important to ignore. We ask all our members to include the $125 security surcharge to 2025-26 Terumah donations.
**New members who join after June 30, 2025 are set up your Terumah Pledge on a prorated on how many months remain before end of June 30, 2026. Also, new members must fill out the membership application form after submitting your pledge at this link. We look forward to welcoming you into our congregational family and want to make it as easy for you as possible to be connected and a part of our vibrant community.
