While membership dues are essential, they cover only 40% of our annual operating budget. The generosity of our community through the Sustaining Fund makes it possible to sustain the programs and services that enrich Jewish life while ensuring that membership remains accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances.
Whether your gift is large or small, every contribution helps our community grow stronger and ensures that Anshe Emet remains a place where Jewish life continues to provide a wide canopy and flourish.
Together, each gift nourishes the work we do today while planting seeds for the generations who will follow.
Members of our Tree of Life Circle — those whose annual Sustaining Fund commitment is $10,000 or more — provide the visionary support that sustains Anshe Emet’s vibrant community. Their generosity strengthens the roots of our congregation while extending branches of compassion, connection, and Jewish life throughout our community. We hope you will consider joining this extraordinary circle of leadership with a gift of $10,000 or more.
The Tree of Life Circle, envisioned by devoted members and inspired by Rabbi Michael S. Siegel, recognizes those whose extraordinary annual philanthropy strengthens our congregation and helps secure its future. Tree of Life Circle donors are recognized in every Anshe Emet bulletin throughout the year, reflecting the enduring impact of their generosity. Members of this leadership circle are also invited to special opportunities throughout the year to connect. Through their leadership and generosity, Tree of Life Circle members ensure that Anshe Emet continues to be a vibrant, welcoming Jewish home for all who seek to pray, learn, celebrate, and connect.
