Planned Giving

At Emanu-El, we have three pillars of synagogue life:  Worship, Learning, and Community. Similarly, the financial health of our Temple relies on the three pillars of Donations, Dues, and Program Fees. Without donations, we would not have the resources needed to provide the myriad enrichment opportunities and programming that make our community so wonderful.

The Temple offers a variety of donation opportunities so all members can participate in the mitzvah of tzedakah at whatever level is comfortable.

For more information, or to consult with staff to create a personal giving program, please contact our Development Office at (415) 750-7557 or by email at [email protected]
