Tributes and Special Fundraisers:
At Temple Anshe Sholom there are many ways to honour people and events in your life. Some have a long history and some are relatively new, and they all make a big difference in our ability to sustain our community.
Annual Fundraiser
Each year we plan a fundraiser event to help sustain our programs and activities. We depend on your participation and sponsorship for these events. Buy a ticket or a table of tickets to our special events, and be a sponsor if you are able to. Your commitment raises our ability to engage our youth, our seniors, and our membership with outstanding programs and social events.
Memorial Boards
Located in our main Sanctuary our memorial boards with Yahrzeit lights are a way to honour a deceased family member and ensure that their memory is always for a blessing at Temple Anshe Sholom.
Tree of Life & Jerusalem Boards
Located in our front lobby and upper lobby, these beautiful works of art offer various sizes of engravable plaques where you can honour a loved one, mark a special event or milestone, and further beautify our Temple home.
Pathway of Peace
In 2016 we celebrated our 165th Anniversary as a community. At that time through a generous donation by the Dain Family, our front gardens were redone and installations of a pergola, gathering alcove and path widening paver stones were competed. These paver stones come in 3 sizes and can be engraved with your message. This gift assists us with maintaining our grounds and gardens and is a lasting legacy for your family.
Special Projects
Around our Temple building you can find many areas with dedication plaques, reflecting the history of our givers over our long life as a community. There are always projects we want to do, but cannot afford. Special angels in our Temple family make this possible and we thank them by naming the area or structure after them. An example is our lower level kiddish lounge sponsored by the Asa-Weisz families and dedicated to their parents, Margaret and Arthur Weisz. Book a meeting with the Rabbi or our President to learn what projects are needed at this time. Perhaps you will be our next angel!
