OUR APPROACH TO DONATIONSAs we have grown, we have focused our Giving Back on groups and individuals that directly support Jewish education, and Temple Israel. There are many great causes – people working to protect the environment, to advance the arts, to lift people out of poverty, to advance peace – and we would want to support many, many causes. But we realize that we can have a better impact focusing on issues concerning direct ties to Jewish Memphis, Temple Israel and our existing partners, since that resonates best with our overall mission.
FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
The leading organizations we support are Temple Israel High Holy Days Security, Jacobs Camp and the Barbara K. Lipman Early Learning Center. We have witnessed first-hand how these programs are essential to the greater Jewish life at Temple Israel and the volunteers and family members who support them. We also make financial contributions to our charity partners and are always looking to build new relationships, assuming they align with the mission of brotherhood and improve the quality of life for our Jewish community.
