Donating to the Synagogue
In order for all of our members to pray, learn and come together as community at BWPJC each week, to organise festival celebrations, to organise members to visit the sick and comfort mourners, and to provide teachers for our children, classes for adults, and much, much more, we need a Rabbi, a building that is safe and pleasant to visit, equipment and many other resources.
Subscription fees do not cover the full cost of supporting this infrastructure, and so we rely on donations to help us bridge the gap in our annual running costs.
As well as our GENERAL FUND, we also have two special funds:
The Rabbi runs a DISCRETIONARY FUND to help those in need.
The Synagogue runs an EDUCATIONAL FUND to support adults and children wanting to take up Jewish Educational opportunities.

And, of course, we also donate to other worthy charities through our Yom Kippur Appeal

If you are interested in leaving a legacy to the Synagogue in your Will and want some advice on this, please contact the Treasurer via the contacts page. It can not only give you profound satisfaction in knowing that your support will live on into the future, but can also make the burden of inheritance tax on your estate lighter.
