*It’s customary in Judaism to make donations in multiples of 18 as to bless the recipient(s) with good health and long life (the numerical value of the Hebrew word “chai” which means “life”), but by all means, just give what you can.
FYI from the page, for those of us without Facebook:
You may also mail a check to:
Tree of Life – Or L’Simcha Congregation 5898 Wilkins Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15217
Unfortunately the synagogue’s website doesn’t take donations from nonmembers so collecting through Facebook or mailing a check are the best options at this time for those distant from the community.
