May Tzedakah A Tree Grows in Solel

The purchase of a leaf on Temple Solel’s Tree of Life provides a
special way to commemorate a life-cycle event, while at the same
time providing needed funds for our children’s religious education.
You have probably noticed the inscribed leaves, each one remind-
ing us of a special Simchah or thought celebrated by a temple
member or organization. These leaves can be purchased for $180 .

All funds are used to support Temple Youth and
Education Programs.

Temple Solel Endowment Foundation

A very old man is planting a fruit tree. A passer-by wonders why he
would bother to plant a tree that won’t bear fruit until decades after
he is dead. The old man responds, “As my father planted before me,
so do I plant for my children.” This story from the Talmud mod-
els tikkun olam, a Hebrew phrase that means loosely, “repair the
world.” A long held traditional Jewish belief is that the obligation
for each generation is to leave the world better for the next genera-
tion. Giving to sustain and improve the community for the next gen-
eration is a choice that I feel those who have donated to the Solel En-
dowment Foundation understand well.
As a congregation we have many opportunities to support our won-
derful Temple Solel community. Just a look through the pages of this
Pathfinder shows the many areas where members can, and do, donate
to our congregation helping with the daily operations and programs that benefit all of us.
A donation to the Temple Solel Endowment Foundation is different, like that tree in the
Talmudic tale, the hope is that the planting done now will benefit future generations and
allow Solel to flourish in the future.
The role of the Directors of the Temple Solel Endowment Foundation is to nurture the
growth of that sapling. While all directors are also donors their most important task is en-
suring that funds are protected and invested properly to yield the greatest benefits for the
future. This is done with regular reviews and recommendations by our money manager
and directors all focusing on a healthy future for the investment and in turn the future of
our congregation.
It is my privilege as President of the Temple Solel Endowment Foundation to continue to
attend to the needs of our beloved congregation by planting the seeds whose growth will
blossom and enhance the future of Solel. I hope you can join me in this effort by consid-
ering a donation to the Foundation.
If you have any questions about how you may help the Temple Solel Endowment Founda-
tion, please contact Robert Siamon at [email protected]

The Temple Solel Endowment Foundation (Foundation)
The Foundation is separate and distinct 501(c)(3) from Temple Solel that has been formed and
organized to raise, invest, and manage funds through endowments and gifts for the sole purpose of financially

supporting the activities, programs, practices, and growth of Temple Solel. If you are
interested in the work of the Foundation, please contact

Foundation Board President Robert Siamon at [email protected].
