The Marshall S. Kneller Memorial Fund

The Marshall S. Kneller Memorial Fund was established for the perennial growth of the Chevra Mishnayes Synagogue. The shul was both an inherited and integral part of Marshall's roots. As a young boy, he attended services with his father Gordon and Zaida Lazer, and later delighted in sharing the bimah with his own children and grandchildren, a manifestation of m'dor l'dor (from generation to generation).

Marshall served as President of the Board for over 25 years as the synagogue blossomed into his second home. The shul was a sacred space which allowed Marshall's treasured traditions and enriching friendships to flourish. His family's sincerest wish is for this fund to cultivate our community for many years to come. Your contributions will secure Marshall's legacy of selfless service by ensuring the survival of his beloved congregation.

Help us grow our fund to honour Marshall's memory and support the creation of the Chevra Mishnayes Synagogue Organizational Endowment Fund.

Our Chevra Mishnayes Synagogue Endowment Funds are an important cornerstone of our success as a foundation and as a community. By launching and growing their own endowment funds, our institutions ensure an annual flow of income - in perpetuity.

Organizational Endowment Fund

Donating directly to Chevra Mishnayes is a meaningful and greatly appreciated way to help meet the synagogue's immediate needs.

In addition, contributing to our organizational endowment provides a lasting form of support, as the funds are invested for long-term growth and provide ongoing income to the synagogue.

As an established organizational endowment, available to organizations that have raised at least $10,000, individuals and families may also create named funds within the endowment. These funds can honour the memory of a loved one, celebrate a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, or recognize another meaningful occasion. Contributions can be made to the fund at any time, while Chevra Mishnayes continues to benefit from the investment income it generates for generations to come.

How to get involved?
