General Fund


Community building is holy work; it is kind work. And, it always needs “all-sized” financial support.  As the soulful shul on the main line, we are busy, and your contribution to this fund directly sustains our daily operations, our teachers, and our programming.

G’milut Hasidim


We are there for each other through thick and thin. And sometimes, during the “thin”, we could all use a helping hand, a warm meal, or a homemade challah. We use donated dollars from this fund to buy groceries and make meals or in any way help those of us in need.

Community Meals


Build community with us by helping us to offer more community-wide Shabbat meals, picnics, BBQs and more. Kindly contribute as you desire and we will gratefully use funds to support our community meals.

Legacy Planning

We invite you to consider making Beth Am Israel a beneficiary of your retirement plan or estate plan.  Bequests and planned gifts – of any kind or any amount – are a generous gift of future support for Beth Am, assuring our ability to sustain generations of families building meaningful and connected Jewish lives.

Hazzan’s Discretionary Fund


Hazzan Harold guides us in meaningful spiritual practice and and brings the joy of music to our community. Support Hazzan Harold by enabling him to extend additional resources for Beth Am’s musical and prayer life and to support worthwhile organizations.

Building Fund


We are blessed by BAI member contributions to our sacred home on Hagys Ford Road.  Thoughtfully built, our BAI home is infused with nature, providing an inspiring space for reflection, joyful music making, services and prayer, lectures, simchas, and more.  Join us in sustaining our physical, sacred community gathering place.

Prayerbook Fund


Remember a loved one, honor a child or friend, thank a parent, recognize an anniversary, or “just because”:  for these reasons and more, we ask you to dedicate a siddur, a humash or to purchase a leaf on our tree outside of the sanctuary.  $36 per siddur; $72 per humash; $36 for leaf on our Tree of Life.   Funds will be added to the General Fund. 

Sunday Minyan Pushke Fund


Started by the regulars at Sunday Minyan, this fund collects donations and then several times throughout the year, the donations are disbursed as decided by the Minyan participants.

Yahrzeit Fund


Honor the memory of those you’ve lost by donating in memory of someone to this Yahrzeit Fund. The donations will be collected in the General Fund and the families will receive a donation notice.

Kol Nidre


Synagogue community life provides ritual and rhythm and support in times of transition or celebration. Whether you join us weekly or on High Holidays, we are open, and we are here for you. Each year during the High Holidays, we ask each member, new and seasoned, to step up and make an additional contribution above dues. Please recognize “asks” are always hard, but always needed.
