In honor of our beloved WHC president, Lew Wiener z”l, The Lewis S. Wiener Annual Fund keeps alive his goal of a vibrant and sustainable Washington Hebrew. With membership revenues and fees covering less than half of our community’s annual operating costs, the Lewis S. Wiener Annual Fund gives WHC the ability to be a strong and resilient congregation — ready to meet the moment while laying the foundation to overcome the challenges ahead.

Endowment funds are a collection of different principal contributions from committed families and charitable foundations that are an essential means of annual support for our community’s sacred operations. When you establish an endowment fund, you make a gift that will last in perpetuity.
You can leave a lasting legacy at Washington Hebrew Congregation by including the Temple in your estate plans through a bequest, charitable trust, life insurance policy, or another appropriate vehicle. Become a member of the 1852 Legacy Society.
Special events, such as speakers, classes, concerts, and programs, provide opportunities for you to share your good name and let the community know that you care about Washington Hebrew Congregation and believe that a strong Temple benefits everyone.
Sustaining Members contribute more than standard annual membership fees to ensure Washington Hebrew’s ongoing strength and resiliency and keep membership affordable to all. Both an act of tzedakah and a reflection of faith in our shared Jewish future, Sustaining Membership provides the synagogue with a dependable base of revenue used to sustain the programs, education, worship, clergy services and pastoral care upon which our community relies.
Donations made in honor, memory, or appreciation of your family, friends, or colleagues are always welcome. We send a lovely notecard to notify the honoree and recognize your contribution in our monthly magazine, the WHC Journal. You can choose if your contribution should be used for our greatest needs, designated for one of our programs, or a gift to one of our endowment funds.
