We are bound together by our faith in God, commitment to the values of the Torah, passion for education and our unshakable support for the people and land of Israel. Beth Yeshurun seeks to provide a range of opportunities to sustain our connection to our rich tradition and to one another through: religious services, educational programs, schools, weddings, B’nai Mitzvah, Jewish burial, as well as a range of cultural, social and recreational activities for our entire community.

In order to sustain our vibrant community, Beth Yeshurun relies on the generosity of our members, who are committed to supporting the continuity of our Jewish traditions and values through the generations.

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT

A gift to Beth Yeshurun enables our sacred community to continue pursuing our holy work for years to come and to share our history, our traditions and our promise to the next generation. Development at Beth Yeshurun is a communal effort to see our synagogue blossom through the next century and beyond, and is made possible through a strong partnership between our clergy, staff, lay leaders and our devoted members.

There are many ways that you can show your support for your synagogue and help us achieve our mission of being a warm, caring and inclusive community.
