GIVING TUESDAY 2024 KICK-OFF


With starting contributions from Temple’s Board of Trustees and several exceedingly generous congregants, we are already on our way toward reaching our $750,000 goal — and we really need all of our hands in the air to help Raise The Roof.


We are excited to announce the beginning of Temple Emanuel’s “Raise The Roof” Campaign, celebrating both the strength of our community and the exciting — and necessary — enhancements we’re bringing to our physical facility. This year, in addition to helping us continue to meet our mission of Living, Learning, and Leading Judaism with a Giving Tuesday Annual Campaign, we’re asking for your help to replace our aging roof and light the way toward a brighter future with solar panels that will help us live our Jewish values while creating a revenue stream for Temple’s future.

Temple Emanuel is the hub of Reform Jewish life in the South Hills, thanks to congregants and friends like you. Because of your commitments of time and financial generosity, Temple can support the Jewish community during lifecycle events (baby namings, b’nei mitzvah, weddings, and funerals), educate more than 100 kids in our innovative Torah Center program, build community through social and volunteer programming, celebrate Shabbat and Holidays, and so much more.

By participating in this year’s campaign, you will ensure that we can continue to meet the evolving needs of our community, enrich our programs, and make the necessary investments in Temple’s physical facility. Help us reach new heights by contributing to meet our dual goals for this year:

  • Support our Giving Tuesday Annual Campaign to fund essential operational needs; and
  • Join our Capital Campaign to fund a new roof and solar panels, making Temple Emanuel more sustainable and resilient for years to come.

Your donation of any size will make an impact as we strive to “Raise The Roof” on our fundraising goals this year: $36 * $100 * $250 * $500 * $1000 * $2500 * $5000 or more.

Temple Emanuel accepts payments in the form of cash, check, ACH transfer, charitable distribution, debit card, VISA, MasterCard and Discover.*  Have questions or need assistance making a payment?  Contact Office Manager Lori Blattner at 412-279-7600 or Finance Director Rebecca Closson at [email protected] for help.

Contributions to Temple Emanuel help to support the vision and mission to Live, Learn, and Lead Judaism in the South Hills community and beyond.  We are grateful for your support!

A Brighter Future for Temple Emanuel
