Supporting TBB

Since its founding in the early 1900s, our community members have donated their funds, their skills, and their time to create a Jewish home in Somerville. While TBB relies primarily on dues for our operating budget, we also depend on the generosity of the community to help pay staff salaries, provide programming, and maintain our historic building. The Board of Directors works with the office to run an annual Yom Kippur Appeal, a Passover Appeal, and send out an end of year gift reminder. 

There are also members who follow the tradition of making yahrzeit memorial gifts, or honorary gifts to mark a special milestone.

Unrestricted gifts are highly appreciated, but donors may also opt for giving to restricted funds, including the Rabbi’s discretionary fund, the Kleiman religious school scholarship fund, and the kiddush fund. 

If you are considering including the synagogue in your will or other planned gifts, please refer to our Legacy and Planned Gifts page. If you would like to transfer stock to TBB, please email our administrator Rebecca.

Donations to Temple B'nai Brith, including dues, are tax-deductible. The office sends tax letters of total giving each year in January/February.

TBB and the Board are very grateful for this financial support – gifts at every level make a difference!
