Etz Chayim Now Accepts Credit Card Donations

It's now possible to make online donations via credit card!  Visit the Donations page to learn how you can use PayPal to donation securely to the synagogue.

This is a trial program to see how well the congregation likes the convenience.  There is no monthly charge to the congregation!  PayPal does collect 3% of each donation made through the site, but that's far less than we'd pay with a regular merchant account.

Give the service a try and let us know what you think!

Those doing the Oneg each Friday night are encouraged to bring a little bit extra to donate to the food pantry!
