We are a community that supports one another and draws strength from each individual working together for the greater good. We support each other with all our collective resources because we are a village, and that is what it takes to build and sustain a village like ours.

We thank you, our BT village members, for your support and investment in our teachers, clergy, volunteers, school parents, grandparents, alumni, and congregation which make up the many aspects of our BT community. You recognize the value of our academic and religious programming; of recruiting and retaining the highest caliber of teachers; of providing a campus that reflect the quality of our school and shul programs; all of this is evident through your unwavering support. From giving to our Annual Campaign and supporting scholarships at Spotlight, to creating endowments that secure our future and to your unparalleled giving to our Centennial Campaign, we are grateful for the growth and strength that you have made possible.

Our BT village means something different to each one of us, but we all share in our mission to be an inclusive Jewish environment that embraces each individual throughout their religious journey. We all have a place here at Beth Tfiloh because having a village means having a home.

About

Philanthropy at Beth Tfiloh

Our thriving Beth Tfiloh community is built upon the foundation of philanthropy. With close to 1,000 students enrolled in the Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School and nearly 1,200 Beth Tfiloh Congregation member families, your financial support has a powerful impact on our school and shul today — and for many years to come.

As part of the foundation of our BT village, your investment in BT can take many forms. While our Annual Campaign provides necessary resources to keep our school and shul in motion, our renowned Spotlight annual scholarship event makes a Beth Tfiloh education possible for more than 50 percent of our students. Legacy giving and gifts to our endowments ensure an ongoing connection to BT by providing permanent flexibility in both our school and synagogue’s operating budgets, supporting the engaging adult education programs, inspiring religious services, meaningful professional development opportunities, competitive staff compensation packages, and countless other areas that are critical to Beth Tfiloh’s overall success. Our Centennial Campaign secured an incredible $26,000,000 that will help sustain Beth Tfiloh for many years to come.

Philanthropy is what builds the future of our institution. It is essential to the fulfillment of our mission of embracing and nurturing a diverse cross-section of Jews. We thank you for providing us with the means to keep our BT village strong as we continue to build a bright future together

COMMUNITY ACTIVISM WITH TEMPLE X

Students from Beth Tfiloh and the Temple X School, based out of Liberty Grace Church of God in Baltimore City, are learning together about enacting environmental change and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world).

This initiative was made possible in part by the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Fund of The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore.

CELEBRATING THE JOY OF JUDAISM

• Lower School students celebrated yearly milestone programs gifting them a personal Siddur, Chumash, Pirkei Avot, and Sefer Tehillim (The Book of Psalms).

• Middle School students spent time creating B’nei Mitzvah ritual items including the making of tefillin, candlesticks, challot, and more at their annual Mitzvah Week.

• The High School Shabbaton at Capital Camps provided time for our students to connect Jewishly and spiritually.

COLLEGE GUIDANCE

Beth Tfiloh’s college guidance program provides an individualized approach for each student.

Class of 2023 highlights:

• Received $2 million in merit scholarships

• 76% acceptance rate to the University of Maryland, far surpassing the university’s average acceptance rate of 44%.

• 30% are participating in an Israel gap year program

LOVE OF ISRAEL

• Our seniors experienced the trip of a lifetime on the Natanzon/Taylor Senior Class Trip to Poland and Israel.

• Middle School students created a Yom Hazikaron memorial museum honoring fallen soldiers and victims of terror.

• This year’s Lower School Israel fair focused on the many cultural communities that comprise Israeli culture and the ways in which Jews from all around the world have come to call Israel home.

SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING

Through age-appropriate approaches across all divisions, our students are building self-confidence through individual student support, social and emotional learning and a team-focused approach in the classrooms, which enhances all aspects of their learning at BT and beyond.

INVESTING IN FACULTY

The establishment of a Faculty Endowment Fund impacts the classroom experience by supporting teacher recruitment and retention through more competitive compensation and benefits, professional development, and career growth opportunities.

INVESTING IN THE STUDENT

A Student Support Endowment expands the school’s ability to meet the broad range of learning and social emotional needs of our students. Recognizing the increased financial burden that families can face when additional support is needed, the school remains committed to making these support services as accessible as possible.
