Tzedakah
“CNS means that my family has a place to connect to our Jewish heritage, through love and engagement, through fun and play as well as deep and meaningful davening.” –Neveh Shalom member
Each time we partake in an act of tzedakah, we help build and strengthen our kehilla and ourselves. We appreciate any amount you are able to give. Know that your contribution helps our kehilla grow and thrive.

CORPORATE AND EMPLOYER MATCHES
Many corporations and employers offer matching programs that allow donors to double or triple their gifts to non-profit organizations. For example, matching programs through employers such as Nike, Intel and Cambia Health have allowed our members to multiply the impact of their gifts to Neveh Shalom. Individual families may also structure innovative “family” matches to involve everyone in creating a significant contribution to a capital campaign. Please consult your employer for details on their matching programs.

One of the noblest Jewish traditions is the preservation of the name of a loved one on the Memorial Board in the Synagogue Sanctuary and the lighting of a memorial light on the anniversary of death. This is an eternal reminder of our dear departed one and the love and respect their memory evokes.
At Neveh Shalom, we have two beautiful Memorial Boards, which serve two functions. A large plaque is placed in the Sanctuary for the entire year of mourning and for every Yahrzeit. Another smaller plaque is permanently maintained in the Memorial Niche. The cost for this set of plaques is $800.
In addition a Tree of Life memorial exists on the chapel walls at each of our cemeteries. Many families wish to honor their departed by adding a leaf to the Tree at the appropriate chapel. This leaf is also inscribed with the name of the loved one. A memorial leaf costs $100.
We will be happy to assist you in answering any questions you have, in the selection of a memorial of your choice. Please contact Marg Everett at 503-246-8831 ext. 112
