Clergy Gifts
Many congregants ask about giving gifts to the clergy to thank them for participating in their bar/bat mitzvah, wedding, baby naming or other special occasion. If you would like to present a gift, Rabbi Feder and Cantor Reich would very much appreciate your making a generous donation in their honor to a PTS fund.
The most common funds for these gifts are listed below, however you can direct your generosity to any Temple fund (click here for a list).
1. Rabbis’ Discretionary Fund 2. Cantor’s Music & Technology Fund 3. General Fund (to be used where most needed)
