    • Grants are available to those who qualify, to potentially assist with the following:
    1. Relocation - moving and settling
    2. Housing
    3. Congregation Beth Israel membership

    4. Repaying outstanding educational loans

    5. Small business seed money

      Qualification Standards –To qualify, a candidate must:

    1. Submit written grant request
    2. Undergo background and credit checks
    3. Provide written personal and rabbinical references
