We cultivate a thriving culture of philanthropy across Temple Beth Sholom and the Innovative School in which generosity feels inevitable because relationship and shared purpose come first. Every member, family, and friend who passes through our doors shares in the responsibility to sustain this sacred place.
We honor and celebrate the many expressions of giving: financial gifts that provide stability and opportunity, volunteered time that breathes life into our programs, and shared wisdom that guides our decisions.
Together these gifts, and the culture from which they come, create a living legacy that secures our sacred and Jewish learning, worship and community for generations to come.
Our mission is to be the communal/spiritual refuge for our members and anyone who walks through our doors. Many feel that this place is home and for over 80 years, our members have created a culture where you are seen, heard, and valued, simply as you are.
Your investment ensures that what has been and what continues to be built every day is sustained in perpetuity for your family, children, and future generations.
Donate to TBS and be part of the community that shapes and sustains this sacred place
At Temple Beth Sholom, impact is not only measured in programs or numbers, but in the everyday moments that shape lives, strengthen identity, spark connection, and carry Jewish life forward. Every act of generosity helps create a community where people feel seen, inspired, proud, and deeply rooted in something larger than themselves.
From sacred milestones to transformative conversations, your support makes moments like these possible:
2026 marked the 30th anniversary of Mitzvah Day
Our Israel fellows took a trip to Chicago and told all of their site visits how proud they are to be Jewish
Each year, individuals and families choose to formally join the Jewish people through conversion at Temple Beth Sholom. We are deeply honored to be part of these sacred journeys — helping create meaningful Jewish homes, strengthen our community, and contribute to the vitality and future of the global Jewish people for generations to come.
