‘Do not separate yourself from the community’ – Hillel, Pirke Avot 2:4
Our community thrives on the contributions of its members, both time and treasure. A gift to CBS is a thoughtful way to celebrate with and remember our loved ones and friends. A card acknowledging that a donation has been made in their honor will be sent to the honoree, and the donation will be listed in the monthly newsletter. Donations can be made anonymously if you prefer. All donations will be credited to the General Fund unless you direct otherwise.
Currently CBS has the following funds:
– General Fund – supports ongoing religious and social activities
– Capital Campaign Fund – construction costs for our new synagogue/school building
– Rabbi’s Discretionary Fund – helps those faced with emergencies
– Sasha Max Yelon Book Fund – acquires children’s books for the CBS library
– Religious School Scholarship Fund – assists families with religious school tuition
Another way to support our community is with a plaque on our memorial board or on our simcha board. Honor or remember family and friends with a $200 contribution – you choose the wording.
Please send your check (made payable to CBS) to Congregation Beth Shalom, 500 W. Green Meadows Road, Columbia, MO 65203. We ask a minimum donation of $12 ($8 for CBS members) and chai ($18) for life cycle events such as births, weddings, yahrzeits, etc.
Congregation Beth Shalom is a tax-exempt religious organization pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Please consult with your tax advisor to determine the deductibility of your contribution.
