Should you wish to acknowledge receipt of your candle with a charitable contribution, we suggest that you consider a gift in a multiple of $18, the number that represents life — chai — to Congregation Tifereth Israel, and designate it for the Yellow Candle Project. The shul will, in turn, donate the full amount of all the contributions to Greenport High School to help finance a visit to the Museum of Jewish Heritage, a fitting conclusion to the 10th-graders’ unit on the Holocaust.

You can contribute online at our website — www.tiferethisraelgreenport.org — or by sending a check to the shul at P.O. Box 659, Greenport, NY 11944.
