Our Endowment Wall, located next to the Sanctuary lobby displays the names of donors who have made significant gifts to our Endowment Fund. Beautiful beveled-glass plaques commemorate the donors, some of which include dedications. There are three types of plaques with gifts beginning at $18,000. For more information, please contact Jamey Kohn (516-482-7800 x1103 or jkohn@tign.org).
