Giving to Temple Sinai
Your generosity helps Temple Sinai continue to thrive as a Kehillah Shel Chesed – a diverse and welcoming community built on inclusion and lovingkindness, welcoming all who seek Jewish life.
Donations make up over 1/3 of Temple Sinai’s budget and allows us to continue our robust programming and services while maintaining flexible membership dues.
Annual Giving Campaign
Our Annual Giving Campaign (formerly called the Free Will Annual Giving Campaign) remains separate from SinaiPromise Membership, going above and beyond it. The Annual Giving Campaign continues to provide a key part of our operating budget, and allows us to remain a Kehillah Shel Chesed — a diverse and welcoming community built on inclusion and lovingkindness, welcoming all who seek Jewish life.
The commitments of each one of us make Temple Sinai the very special place that it is today. Please give as generously as you can! Thank you!

Legacy Giving
A legacy gift, also called a planned gift or bequest, is a gift of cash, securities, or life insurance from your estate to Temple Sinai Brookline.
It enables you to create a legacy and put your values to work for future generations with:
- no outlay of funds up front;
- control of your assets throughout your lifetime;
- the option to modify or change your bequest if circumstances change; and
- exemption from federal estate taxes as laws permit.
Your bequest could be for virtually any amount and could be open ended, so Temple Sinai could use it as needs and opportunities arise; alternatively, you could establish or contribute to an area or activity that you care deeply about. Temple Sinai prudently invests bequests to maintain and increase principal over time, generating income that will be used to support our mission far into the future.
Our goal is to grow our endowment funds so that the income generated will allow us to continue putting our values into action and keep membership accessible for everyone in our community. Legacy donors will be recognized periodically during special events and (with their permission) will be listed in Sinai publications.
