1 beth tfiloh honor roll
thank you
It gives us tremendous pride and joy to share this Honor Roll with you, the members of our BT community. It is through your belonging, your involvement, and your generous support, that Beth Tfiloh has
come to represent the center of Jewish life in our community for so many.
no place we’d rather be…than at bt
Whether it is attending daily minyans, weekly Shabbat, or Yom Tov services, having your children attend our schools and our camp, celebrating lifecycle events, or increasing your own Jewish literacy, we and so many others share a love for this remarkable and dynamic place we fondly call BT. It is a place where we have watched your children grow and flourish, and also a place where we have provided comfort to one another. It is a place of joy and a place of inspiration. And there is truly no place we’d rather be.
On behalf of a grateful Beth Tfiloh family, we thank you for opening your
hearts to us, and helping to make Beth Tfiloh a place, a home and a family that continues to flourish and grow from generation to generation.

3 beth tfiloh honor roll
hineini societyBeth Tfiloh’s Hineini Society recognizes donors of $3,000 or more in the Annual Campaign. Leadership giving at this level ensures the vitality of our school and synagogue community. Literally translated as “Here I Am,” members of the Hineini Society continue to prove that they are, in fact, always here for Beth Tfiloh.

Our loyal and generous Annual Campaign supporters are the true heroes of the Beth Tfiloh family. Especially in today’s economic climate, asking for
donations to support the day-to-day operations of both a school and a synagogue can be quite challenging. But, once again, Beth Tfiloh parents, synagogue members, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, friends, and extending family members have risen to the occasion and have helped to raise a total of over $700,000 for the 2014–2015 year.
The Annual Campaign is critical to meet our mission and commitment to our core values because only a portion of the School’s and Congregtion’s budgets are covered by sources of operating revenue. Gifts to the Annual Campaign help Beth Tfiloh maintain its exemplary programming, such as an outstanding education for its children, daily religious services, incomparable personal attention from its clergy, professional development for its teachers, exceptional athletics, and creative arts programming and much more. n

19 beth tfiloh honor roll
the chazak campaign was established to strengthen Beth Tfiloh and ensure its future viability by securing at least $15 million to address major strategic needs for the Congregation, School and Camp. Thanks to our most loyal and generous donors, the Chazak Campaign has exceeded its goal, raising over $18 million dollars and involving more than 120 families in this historic effort to ensure a strong Beth Tfiloh for generations to come. We especially thank Chazak Campaign Chairs Steve Hurwitz and Mark Neumann who, along with the entire Chazak Campaign Committee, provided invaluable leadership and vision for the Campaign.
The funds raised through the Chazak Campaign give Beth Tfiloh the long-term financial stability to continue to attract top clergy and faculty, to offer outstanding Jewish programming, to maintain its magnificent facility, and to make Jewish life more accessible and more affordable.
ensuring affordabilityn A permanent endowment has been
created to help subsidize both the cost of membership, allowing BT to introduce new, attractively priced membership packages, as well as many adult learning and family/ youth programs.
n A portion of Chazak Campaign funds have been invested into the School’s endowment fund, keeping tuition more affordable for all families, while also providing a permanent
source of funds for those who are in need of financial assistance.
academic and program excellence/outstanding clergy, faculty and staff rectruitment and retention
n Chazak funds will ensure the continued excellence of our School’s top-quality faculty and award- winning program, allowing Beth Tfiloh to remain competitive with the other independent schools in the area, while giving our students our cherished Jewish values and traditions.
n Chazak resources will help us retain and attract top Jewish professionals and clergy in our Synagogue to provide personalized attention and excellent Jewish programs for a diverse and growing population, as well as increasing our communication and outreach efforts.
keeping our campuses and facilities safe, comfortable and beautiful
n The Chazak Campaign has enabled us to establish much-needed reserves for scheduled building improvements and investment in our security, while also reducing the burden of these significant capital costs on our annual operating budget.
