It is a tradition in Judaism to give Tzedakah in memory, in honor or in celebration of significant life events. Please consider making a gift to North Suburban Synagogue Beth El on such occasions.

Whether in observance of a yahrzeit, in memory of the recently deceased or in celebration of a simcha, your donation will not only help to maintain Beth El’s many programs and its physical facilities, but will also communicate to others the importance of supporting our Jewish Community.

Contributions can be directed to specific programs within the synagogue or allocated to the Special Gifts Fund to be used as needed in support of the synagogue.

For more information and to answer any questions you may have, please contact: Chuck Kahalnik, Executive Director, at (847) 432-8903 X224 or ckahalnik@nssbethel.org
