Cantor Jackie Rafii Discretionary Fund

Memorial & Yahrzeit Funds

Memorial funds honor the memory of a member of the community with projects they were passionate about. Yizkor donations are traditionally made to this fund when a person is reciting the Yizkor prayer on the anniversary date of the passing of a loved one (Yarhzeit). It is a special way of honoring the memory of a loved one. A contribution to STS helps to ensure that the synagogue will be there to continue to provide a warm and nurturing place for the mourner to be able to perform the mitzvah of reciting the Yizkor prayer. Order a Memorial Plaque for recognizion on the wall in Heytow chapel. Download the form here and make the payment online or by check to STS.

Creative Arts and Culture Fund

Bringing the best in music, art, performance and culture to Shomrei Torah Synagogue.

Art and culture bring beauty into our lives in new and imaginative ways. They express the language of the soul and open a window to the sacred, teaching us to see the holy in the ordinary.  Your gift to this fund will help us to envision, create, and build upon a wide variety of innovative cultural programs at STS.  

Prayer Book Dedication

Help support our prayer book fund. Each dedication will appear on a book plate inside the front cover of the New Siddur Lev Shalem.
