Security Fund

We're continually moved by your commitment to make safety a reality

In today’s climate, the peace of mind we feel when we walk through the doors at Temple Israel is something we can’t take for granted; it requires a vigilant and very real layer of protection. 

While Synagogue Support keeps our daily operations running, providing full-time security for our members, families, school children, Rabbis, and staff requires a separate, collective investment of more than $102,000 each year.

By choosing to give to our Security Fund below, you’re doing so much more than just helping to cover costs — you’re ensuring that from the time we arrive at Temple Israel to the moment we leave the campus, we can all breathe a sigh of relief and focus entirely on the joy of being together, rather than the worries of the world. 

Thank you to those who have made a past donation.

A call to help secure our community in 2026
