Thank you for supporting B’nai Israel Synagogue with your donation. You can direct your donation to a specific purpose. We list here our three most important funds:

Chaplaincy Endowment Fund: The Chapliancy Endowment Fund supports the Jewish Chaplaincy activities at Mayo Clinic and other southeastern Minnesota medical facilities. 

Chai Fund: The Chai Fund is used for the day-to-day expenses of the Synagogue. It pays for our ongoing religious services and activities, cultural events, salaries of our employees, utilities and maintenance of our beautiful building. The Chai Fund also supports our social events, and activities related to our Hospitality program for Jewish patients and their families visiting Rochester.
