Chai – Life/living, numerical value of 18

Thank you for wanting to contribute to Temple Beth Torah. A Chai Donation can be made in any amount, although many choose to give in increments of $18. The number 18 correlates to the Hebrew word Chai or Life. When giving in multiples of $18, we recognize the blessing which is the gift of our lives. Chai Donations are usually made to celebrate any kind of milestone such as a wedding or birth of a child, a new home, a family or friend’s B-Mitzvah, or to honor those we have lost or in observance of a Yahrzeit. However, we welcome your donation for any reason as your generosity helps us to continue providing Jewish spiritual services to our congregation and the Jewish Community at large. We appreciate your support immensely.
