Tribute Gifts
Have you ever heard of a Tribute Gift? It’s a traditional Jewish way to mark important dates or milestones in honor or in memory of those we know and love. Just a few examples of when Tribute Gifts are especially popular: birthdays, anniversaries, religious and secular holidays alike, from Rosh Hashanah and Passover to Mother’s & Father’s Day. Many also choose to mark the passing of a respected community member or loved one through tribute gifts, or to honor someone on their Yahrzeit (the anniversary date of a death).
When you make a Tribute Gift to the J, we notify the honoree (or the tribute’s family in the case of memorials) with a beautiful card and note of your choosing, and your gift is memorialized in our Honor Roll/Report on Giving which is distributed annually.
With Mother’s Day around the corner, we recognize you may be looking for an opportunity to give the Mothers in your lives a meaningful gift that will have a lasting impact on the Southern Maine community. If you’d like to make a Mother’s Day gift in honor or in memory of someone you love, and would like a card sent in time for the special day, please make your donation by Wednesday evening, May 6th.

Todah Rabah (thank you) for your ongoing support of the J and all the many ways it allows us to enrich this incredible community!
