We are dedicated to keeping our programs and services accessible to all, including providing free High Holiday services. However, there are costs to maintaining and strengthening the Downtown Synagogue. The true cost of operating the Downtown Synagogue is $150 per household per month. Become a Downtown Synagogue Sustainer today and commit to a monthly donation which will allow us to serve our community and our mission more fully. This is not like other synagogue dues - there are not specific required amounts nor is this tied to membership. Rather, it is a monthly investment in the community that you believe should exist.

The true cost per household: 
• Devoted Detroiter: $150/month
Additional giving options:
 • DIY: any amount that is meaningful to you is meaningful to us
• Dollar-a-Day (students or those on a budget): $30/month
For those in our community who are in a position to give more: 
• Griswold Gadol: $250/month 
• Motor City Macher: $500/month 
• Rabbi’s Circle: $10,000 annually 

To sign up, please fill out the form below and choose an option that works best for you. We thank you for your support of our operations. Your investment ensures the Downtown Synagogue can serve Jewish Detroit for the next 100 years. For questions or assistance, contact Heather Gale.
