Support

Documenting Maine Jewry needs your support!

There are two major ways you can help: by making a financial contribution, and by contributing documents and information to our collection.

Make a donation

Your donations enable us to maintain and develop this website, the largest repository of information about Maine's Jewish community. All contributions to Documenting Maine Jewry made through our fiscal sponsor, Temple Beth El of Portland, are eligible for tax deduction.

It's easy to help:

  • Donate online through Temple Beth El's website (under payment type, select "Documenting Maine Jewry").
  • Mail a check (payable to Temple Beth El, with "Documenting Maine Jewry" in the memo field) to 400 Deering Ave., Portland, ME 04103.
  • Make a credit card donation by calling 207-774-2649 during Temple Beth El's office hours (Tuesday—Thursday, 10-3).

Share your knowledge

We need your help recording, retelling, and sharing information related to Maine's Jewish community, past and present.

Do you have genealogical information, photographs, documents, recordings, personal recollections, or other kinds of material to share about Jewish individuals, families, businesses, institutions and communal organizations with ties to Maine? We want to hear from you!
