Giving Tuesday @ B’ShERT

Now Is The Time…

As we revitalize our wonderful community, we need YOUR support to remain the inclusive, welcoming and flexible place you know and love. Click here to donate on Giving Tuesday or anytime this season.

Giving Tuesday is relatively new, having started in 2012, and has since become a tradition.  This initiative reminds us of the many non-profit institutions in our world doing good day in and day out, and challenges us to provide support. Our own synagogue is one such institution.  
 
As part of being a home for progressive Judaism and the promotion of Jewish values, we have been feeding the hungry through our Little Pantry and assistance to the larger food pantry at Our Lady of Refuge Church, we have been caring for the sick by delivering holiday toys to children undergoing cancer treatment as well as comforting our own members through our Caring/Chesed Committee, and we have been steadfast partners in the Interfaith Coalition of Brooklyn, developing relationships across religious and ethnic differences, loving the “stranger” as our Torah teaches.
 
Accordingly, B’ShERT is a very worthy organization for Giving Tuesday donations.  While you are counting your blessings on Thanksgiving, it is our hope that you count B’ShERT as part of them, and send funds our way. 
 

To make it as easy as possible for you to support B’ShERT this Giving Tuesday — and to encourage your friends and family to join in — here are the relevant links and QR codes for our fundraising campaign. You can donate from your phone, tablet or computer at any time; you can also always mail checks to the office, if you prefer, or if you are donating from a custodial or donor-advised account.


Please keep in mind that B’ShERT is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and is eligible for most employer charitable matching grants! Your contribution might be even more powerful and helpful than you expect. Not sure if your job includes a matching program? You can search at the URJ site to find out.


Giving Tuesday is also a perfect time to review and update bequests, legacy giving or other planned contributions as part of your estate. If your planned giving includes B’ShERT, thank you!
