Thank you for supporting the historic Actors’ Temple—which today is a warm and forward-thinking religious institution, providing sanctuary for many Jews of diverse backgrounds.

But, it’s even more than that—in addition to Shabbat and Holiday services, Jewish adult education and more, the halls are open to the community. We host community meetings, rehearsals, and Off Broadway shows.

We appreciate your helping us to maintain our historic Landmark building from 1923 and allowing us to serve the community.

To donate based on "Chai" (18) and other numbers

The number 18 is the numerical value of the Hebrew letters in the word "Chai" which means "Life." It's Jewish tradition to donate in multiples of $18. Some examples: $36, $54, $72, $90, $180, $360, etc.

For those of you who want even more options using Jewish Gematria and Numerology, you can donate using combinations of numerical values that have spiritual and/or mystical meanings.

18 = Chai (Life)

3 = Harmony (Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet)

7 = Completion (Days of the Week and Shabbat)

13 = Attributes of Mercy (Salvation and Forgiveness)

Each of the above have multiple meanings and uses in the Hebrew Bible and subsequent Rabbinic literature and other writings down through the ages.
