All of us can nurture a tree of life
עץ חיים Eitz Chayim

We are seekers. We are learners. We are doers. At Beth David, we are impelled by our tradition to build connection, support our communities, and do our part to help heal the world. Our synagogue is the aggregation of our stories—a 75-year history that entwines our diverse individual pasts with a shared future.

Through the remarkable support of a small group of anonymous donors, Beth David’s $1.1 million mortgage will be fully repaid over the next two years. The congregation has a unique opportunity to build on this momentum to ensure the financial health and vibrancy of the synagogue for years to come.

Our campaign will ensure that Beth David continues to pursue an inclusive and diverse membership, provide a Jewish education that is enriching and meaningful to new generations, and deliver programs that draw on sacred liturgy yet broaden our perspective on what it means to be Jewish—today and tomorrow.

“Hold fast to it.” Help make Beth David’s story grow.

This past year, and in the wake of COVID, Beth David’s Board committed to a reimagining of the synagogue based on “Three Paths to a Thriving Future”:

Improve the building for access, comfort and safety.

Establish an endowment to ensure future financial stability.

Pursue alternative uses of underutilized space for additional revenue.

Create amenities for increased outdoor activities.

Upgrade technology to broaden remote access to services, virtual events and online learning.

Expand outreach to interfaith and LGBTQ families and individuals.

Rethink membership models, recruitment and retention.

Re-envision and expand religious school to include early learning program, advanced teen study, collaboration with other schools, and community service.

Increase scholarship and need-based support to improve diversity and equity.

Enhance adult learning and social justice initiatives with a visiting speaker series, community partnerships, social action events and group trips.
