The Rabbi Joshua Stampfer Circle
If you are interested in sustained giving, we offer the Rabbi Joshua Stampfer Circle to honor and emulate Rabbi Stampfer’s commitment to pluralistic lifelong learning. Members donate $720 a year, or $3,600 over 5 years, to support the scholarships and subsidies that enable most students to participate. We'd be happy to discuss options with you. Just call 503-384-2476 or e-mail rachel@meltonportland.org.
Give A Little at a Time
Would you like to set up a recurring monthly, bi-monthly or other contribution? Smaller, regular donations may be convenient for you, and they make a difference to our program. Please contact us to set up a recurring donation today! It only takes a few minutes. Call 503-384-2476 or e-mail learn@meltonportland.org.
Tributes
You can make a donation in memory of a loved one, or in honor of a special milestone in the life of someone you know, from a birth to a bar/bat mitzvah to a wedding, to a retirement, and more. Visit our Tribute Page to honor someone special today!
Share a Shiur
Shiur means "lesson" in Hebrew. Our Jewish tradition teaches us that it is a kavod, or honor, to sponsor students of Torah and the rich trove of works that emanate from it. Here is an opportunity to realize this kavod yourself, or as a wonderful way of honoring a friend or loved one by sponsoring a Melton lesson. You will receive a sponsorship certificate, and your name will be announced (if you wish) as a sponsor at the beginning of the lesson you designate. Please visit our Tribute Page to perform the mitzvah of sharing a shiur.
Donating to Melton is simple, easy and meaningful. You can make a difference in our students’ lives and our community’s future by contributing any amount. We are always happy to discuss giving options over the phone (503-384-2476), in person, or over e-mail (learn@meltonportland.org).
