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

• 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.
