Congregation Beth Israel (CBI) serves our community in many ways, including: High Holy Day and Shabbat services, B'nei Mitzvah, Religious School and Adult classes, special holiday celebrations and events/programs, caring for elderly and sick congregants, social action projects, and much more ...

Each of us has a stake in maintaining CBI as a center of our Jewish community. Your financial commitment ensures that we can continue to meet the diverse needs of our community.

We follow a "fair-share" system, so we ask members to give according to their unique capacity. The cost of operating the synagogue for the current fiscal year 2023-24 works out to approximately $2,250 per family unit.

We know that pandemic years caused financial hardship for some families, so we ask that you give what you can. For those who have not been financially affected, please consider a commitment at or beyond the suggested $2,250 level, or increasing your pledge by 5-10% each year, to help CBI remain financially stable.

Arrangements can be made to pay pledges monthly, quarterly or annually, by check, bank debit (ACH) or credit card (3% fee added).

Please contact the CBI office for a payment plan other than a one-time payment or enter an installment payment online and describe your payment plan in the comment section.

If you have questions, please contact Congregation Beth Israel at [email protected] or call (360) 733-8890. All inquiries will be kept confidential.

Thank you for supporting Jewish life in Bellingham!
