Special ways of donating to Temple Beth David:

Our Tree of Life
The Tree of Life wall sculpture that graces the entrance to our Sanctuary was donated by the Tannenbaum and Zimmiti families. Its beauty serves to enhance the atmosphere of our congregation as we, together, help the Tree to blossom. The Leaves on the Tree may be inscribed to highlight or commemorate our simchas, births, birthdays, b'nai mitzvahs, wedding anniversaries or to honor parents, family or friends. Leaves may be purchased for $180.00 each. They may be inscribed with 23 characters per line for 5 or 6 lines per leaf. All monies from the sale of Leaves go into Temple Beth David's Endowment fund.

Share the joy by inscribing your family on our Synagogue's Tree of Life . . . a permanent dedication to the events that have touched our lives.
