REMEMBRANCES
TI offers many ways to honor the memory of your loved ones, including the Book of Remembrance that is used
during Yizkor services throughout the year. You can also make a separate Yizkor donation, or donate
a memorial plaque to be lit in the TI Sanctuary on the deceased's yahrzeit.
Book of Remembrance |
The Annual Appeal is TI's main source of operating support beyond dues, tuition and general donations. Now more than ever, TI is committed to strong fiscal responsibility while sustaining existing programs and coming up with new, creative responses to the community's needs. Through your generosity, TI can flourish and grow in the New Year.
VOLUNTEER
Pre-High Holiday volunteering is over, but there are always opportunities to help throughout the year.

Empty Your Pockets Campaign: Homes Not Borders
Sponsored by TI Social Action Committee
Each year, the Social Action Committee selects a charity, and encourages TI members to "empty their pockets" during the High Holidays to support the cause. This year the Committee selected Homes not Borders, a response to the crisis in Afghanistan, which has created a surge of refugee, special immigrant visa and asylum seekers who need our immediate support. Contributions will help to provide household items, including necessities like sheets, cookware and furniture to ensure that families can thrive here. Donate here. Questions? Contact Gene Herman.
