A Heartfelt Thank You for Making History at Our Gala!

Dear TBT Family,

I hope this message finds you well. We are thrilled to extend our deepest gratitude for your incredible support and generosity at our recent gala. Not only did we successfully honor a well deserving woman of valor in Elaine Asa, we commemorated and celebrated 60 pride-filled years of TBT, and raised money to strengthen and improve our special Jewish home of hope on the hill!

Thanks to your unwavering commitment and the enthusiasm of all our attendees, we are delighted to announce that this year, TBT’s fundraiser set a historic record for donations! Between sponsorships received beforehand and the donations which are still coming in, this event has raised over $130,000 so far!  Your contributions have surpassed our wildest dreams and will have a profound impact on our mission. This unprecedented achievement is a testament to the power of collective effort and the shared vision we hold for a better future, a Jewish people strong and thriving in North Orange County for generations to come. 

The success of this gala would not have been possible without your invaluable support. Whether through your generous donations, your presence at the event, or your ongoing dedication and participation in our community, you have played a crucial role in this remarkable accomplishment.

Even though we surpassed our goal for the evening we are far from done. We estimate another $100,000 is needed to complete all necessary repairs and desired beautification projects, making TBT a Jewish home for current members to take even more pride in, and an inviting, welcoming space for potential new members to enter. The 60 for 60 campaign is still active, and we encourage all current members to participate. Our anniversary event was an amazing evening; let’s work to maintain that momentum and ensure the growth and strength of Temple Beth Tikvah for another 60 years!

We look forward to sharing more with you about the transformative ways these funds will be utilized and more about our plans and goals on Erev Rosh Hashanah when we share the State of the Temple. Your investment in TBT is making a real difference, and we are excited to continue this journey together. To read more about how the funds will be utilized click here.

Once again, thank you for being a part of this historic moment. Your support inspires us and fuels our drive to achieve even greater milestones.

With heartfelt appreciation, and wishes for a sweet and healthy new year,

Jon & Melissa Goldman, Co-Presidents
