TBS NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

Consider making a donation to your favorite fund today to help TBS continue to bring meaningful programs, uplifting services, and quality kiddushim for another 100 years.

DONATIONS/TRIBUTES: When making a donation or tribute, remember that if it is for TBS (not MC or SH), you can use one check. Please include a note to let us know how the check is to be delineated.



• Due to the current issues we are experiencing with the Post Office, we ask you to consider bringing your donation/registration to the office, or consider making your donation/register online (if you use a debit card you will not be charged a processing fee).
• After office hours remember that TBS has a secured locked box on the left of the office door for your donations, tributes, membership, notes & more!

Do not put in anything that will have an expired submission date when the offices reopen.

Stay Connected: Due to issues with the Post Office, we encourage people to check our website for the current Messenger posting as well as carefully review Monday E-blasts (programs) and Thursday E-blasts (services & more). Your TEAM is doing their best to keep you “in the know.” 

Please be sure to engage with those you don’t know and help make TBS the community you desire. If you lost your original TBS Name Badge and want to order a replacement ($16), please call or email the office.

Your TBS TEAM greatly appreciates your support.

VISIONARY SOCIETY

Temple Beth Sholom would like to thank our 2025-2026 Visionary Society participants. TBS truly thanks all of you who contributed to this important program that brings relief to those who cannot pay full dues. We hope we can count on your support for 2026-2027. Leadership has made a slight change to the program.  

June 1^st marks the beginning of the 26-27 Membership Campaign. We look forward to retaining your membership. In addition, for 26-27, the leadership has made a slight change to the Visionary Society program, giving level “benefits” of appreciation: MC & Sisterhood dues to be reimbursed at the $1,000 level and Security waived (if desired) from the $2500 level (switched from previous years).   

1,000 - Investor

Recognition in printed materials

and lobby monitor, plus basic Men’s

Club/Sisterhood dues included

$2,500 - Partner

All of the above, plus an option to

waive the annual security fee

Temple Beth Sholom Cemetery

The Cemetery Capital Improvement Committee would like to thank the generous individuals who have supported this vital expansion of the TBS Cemetery.

We are proud to announce that we have reached our initial milestone and will begin construction on the expansion of our beautiful cemetery soon.

However, we are still in need of more funds to complete all three essential expansions. Please consider making a donation to Temple Beth Sholom's Cemetery Expansion Fund today.

Please join us in providing a dignified and welcoming source of pride for the Jewish community of Sarasota/Manatee.
