In Pirke Avot 1:17 Shimon [the son of Rabban Gamliel] says, “It is not what one says, but rather what one does, that makes all the difference in our world.”
Members of North Suburban Synagogue Beth El’s Bonim (Builders) benefactors are true role models to our entire community. Bonim donation levels begin at an annual gift of $6,500 or more to the synagogue, which covers Synagogue dues, Security fees, Kol Nidre Appeal donation, Sisterhood and Men’s Club Membership and extra High Holiday tickets.
A Bonim pledge is especially meaningful as it displays your reverence for the Synagogue, the clergy and everything we do to make our synagogue a special community. Our Bonim members truly embody the words of Pirke Avot. Their generosity helps support our congregation and our community, from capital improvements to helping members in financial need.
Bonim members also receive special recognition and benefits for their Bonim membership status, such as invitations to special programs, receptions and events. Bonim member names appear on our Annual Giving donor wall, recognizing them as important benefactors of the synagogue.
