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.
You can make donations with a credit/debit card at the above link, pay with a credit/debit card offline, or with a check.
We appreciate each and every donation.
If you wish to donate an arbitrary amount, use the $1 donation, and put into the quantity field the number of dollars you wish to give.
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.
We have also provided several items based on "Chai times Chai" or "Chai squared" for those of you who love mathematics and statistics:
$324 (18 X 18, "Chai" times "Chai")
$972 three times $324
$2268 seven times $324
You may pay for anything with a credit/debit card at our online store, pay with a credit/debit card offline (call, fax, mail, or in person), or with a check (mail, in person.)

We are happy to send you a copy of the book, "Rabbi on 47th Street," by Ann Birstein, daughter of Rabbi Bernard Birstein. This book tells how his friendships with actors made our synagogue The Actors’ Temple.
