1878… An Auspicious Year
1878 – First telephone is installed in the White House; Tzaichovsky’s 4th Symphony in F premieres; Edison Electric Light Company makes electricity available for household use; US mint introduces the silver dollar. Russian and Polish immigrants establish Congregation Keneseth Israel, the ancestor of our own Beth Shalom.
Communications, music, technology and US currency have evolved tremendously over nearly a century and half, and so has our own Beth Shalom. Who can even imagine what our synagogue will look like 150 years from now?
While we may not be able to predict the future, we can help secure it financially with a planned gift to our synagogue. Since 2007, Beth Shalom has partnered with the Jewish Community Foundation and its Bushman Community Endowment program to secure nearly 60 commitments for future gifts that are estimated to be worth more than $3 million in permanent resources for our synagogue.
