2022-23 Free Will Appeal
Your donation to Free Will supports the operating expenses of Barnert Temple. While we know from the past year that Barnert Temple extends way beyond its physical “walls,” it is our obligation as Jews to preserve and strengthen those “walls” built by generations before us. Know that whatever you are able to do to support Barnert Temple during this time will allow Barnert Temple to continue to support you and your family - we will all get through this TOGETHER. 

Yahrzeit Donations
Remember the yearly anniversary of a loved one’s death by donating to the Yahrzeit Fund. Permanent memorial plaques and weekly Yahrzeit plaques may also be purchased.  Contact the office (201) 848-1800 for details.

Oneg Shabbat Sponsors
Commemorate any occasion - anniversary, B-Mitzvah, birth, etc. - by sponsoring an Oneg Shabbat.  Sponsor names are included in the Friday evening Shabbat service announcements and on the Oneg Sponsor board on display at the Oneg.

Rabbis' Discretionary Funds
These funds, managed by Rabbi Steiner and Rabbi Scheffler, are used to defray unbudgeted operating expenses, provide financial assistance to people in need, provide support to other charitable organizations and endeavors that further the Temple’s standing in the community and for any other purpose consistent with the Temple’s mission and purpose.
