End of Year Donation:

As 2022 comes to a close, we would like to remind you that now is a good time to pay your bill if you have a balance and to please consider making an additional donation to B’nai David-Judea if you are able to. We have four convenient payment options:

1. Pay securely online on our website: www.bnaidavid.com

2. Send or drop off a check: B'nai David-Judea, 8906 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90035

3. Call the office at 310-276-9269 to make a donation over the phone.

4. Donate through appreciated stock which could provide a significant financial benefit to you while benefiting the Shul as well. Donating appreciated stock itself rather than selling and donating the proceeds can save you any potential capital gains liabilities and still give you the full tax deduction for the appreciated amount, while allowing the Shul to also realize the full gain of its value. 

Condolences:

Doreet Stein, Avi Stein, and Leora Beck on the passing of their father, Mr. Tzvi (Harry) Stein z"l.
